Abstract

Background: In Fontan completion for functional single ventricles, the roles of antegrade-flow still have a lot of controversies about effects and influences to surgical results.


 Objective: we study the roles of Antegrage-Flow in Extra-cardiac Fontan completion.


Method: perspective study, serial cases.


Results: From 05/2015 to 01/2019, 122 patients underwent Extra-cardiac Fontan completions at the Heart Institution of Ho Chi Minh city. Antegrade-flows were maintained in 58 patients. Patients with antegrade-flow had significantly higher mean ages at operation, mean SpO2, mean pulmonary pressures, mean Nakata indices and mean McGoon indices than those without antegrade-flows. Antegrade-Flows did not increase hospital mortality and morbidity.


 Conclusion: Antegrade-Flow can possibly develop good pulmonary arterial branches, avoid of pulmonary branches extension and does not increase morbidity and mortality of ECC- Fontan completion.
