Thromboembolism leading to myocardial ischaemia in a patient requiring a fenestrated Fontan operation.
We report a case of air/thromboembolism of the left anterior descending coronary artery complicating a fenestrated Fontan procedure treated with aprotinin. The patient was successfully treated by saphenous vein grafting to the left anterior descending coronary artery and reconversion of the Fontan circulation to the original cavo-pulmonary connection.
