| Abstract: | Since Fontan and Baudet described the radical palliation for patients with tricuspid atresia, there have been many modifications to the principle and extension to other conditions where biventricular repair is not possible. There are reports of successful pregnancy in women having had Fontan-type surgery but the different techniques used are not clearly separated. This article reports two pregnancies with a Fontan-type circulation from our centre, one in a patient with total cavopulmonary connection and the other with atriopulmonary connection, comparing and contrasting the complications. |
