In patients who have received an atriopulmonary Fontan connection, complications such as right pulmonary vein obstruction, atrial arrhythmias, and thromboembolism are often secondary to right atrial enlargement. When such complications develop despite good ventricular function, there are few management options available. Extracardiac or intraatrial conduit cavopulmonary anastomosis, which improves central systemic venous flow patterns, avoids atrial distention, and does not involve the extensive atrial suturing required by other forms of cavopulmonary anastomosis, may provide relief for this group of patients.
