Abstract

Patients palliated with Fontan circulation requiring mechanical circulatory support pose anatomic and physiologic challenges. We treated a Fontan patient with acute ventricular failure with sequential temporary and durable support devices. Aspects of treatment with each device required modification based on the patient’s anatomy and physiology.
