Recovery of atrial transport function after a maze procedure for atrial fibrillation in conversion of a failing Fontan circulation.
Surgical ablation for atrial arrhythmias at conversion of atriopulmonary or ventriculopulmonary Fontan to a total cavopulmonary connection is feasible with recovery of both sinus rhythm and atrial transport function. Recovery of the patient's physical condition may take up to a year. (Neth Heart J 2008;16:170-2.).
