Percutaneous fenestration closure with problematic residual native atrial septum

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2005 Oct;66(2):286-90. doi: 10.1002/ccd.20474.

Abstract

A variety of techniques have been utilized to close Fontan fenestrations. Among 20 patients who underwent a cardiac catheterization for fenestration closure, 3 patients had residual native atrial septum, forming an additional intermediate chamber on the pulmonary venous side of the fenestration. Three different methods were used to close these fenestrations.
