Intrahepatic venovenous shunting to an accessory hepatic vein after Fontan type operation.
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.
