One of the options for the management of borderline/failing extracardiac Fontan circulation is surgical creation of an atrial fenestration to decompress the systemic venous compartment and improve cardiac output. Depending on the body surface area of the patient, a 5- to 10-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube graft can be used. When fenestration is required in a patient with failing Fontan circulation, particularly in redo cases, application of a side-biting clamp may be challenging because of adhesions and a thickened atrial wall. In this article, we present our off-pump technique of atrial-side anastomosis of PTFE graft interposition between an extracardiac Fontan conduit and the atrium without using a side-biting clamp.

D018729 Fontan Procedure A procedure in which total right atrial or total caval blood flow is channeled directly into the pulmonary artery or into a small right ventricle that serves only as a conduit. The principal congenital malformations for which this operation is useful are TRICUSPID ATRESIA and single ventricle with pulmonary stenosis.
