Case description

Video case: superior cavopulmonary anastomoses, commonly known as the Fontan procedure, are surgical interventions primarily performed in pediatric patients with complex congenital heart defects. However, as these individuals transition into adulthood, ongoing care and surveillance become crucial. In adults who have undergone the Fontan procedure, maintaining cardiovascular health is paramount. Long-term considerations include addressing potential complications such as arrhythmias, thromboembolism, and hepatic dysfunction. Regular medical follow-ups, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, additional interventions are integral in providing comprehensive care for adults with superior cavopulmonary anastomoses, ensuring an optimal quality of life.
