title: Late fenestration of the extracardiac conduit in a Fontan circuit by sequential stent flaring.
abstract: Recent Fontan circuits frequently involve an extracardiac conduit. We report on a new technique to create a late fenestration in such an extracardiac circuit by sequential flaring of a stent in the fenestration.
