Abstract:
Because there are various types of systemic venous connections in patients with visceral heterotaxy, unanticipated abnormal systemic venous channels may pose additional problems after a Fontan type operation. We report a case of severe cyanosis caused by anomalous intrahepatic venovenous fistula to an accessory hepatic vein early after total cavopulmonary anastomosis.
