Abstract
Late systemic outflow tract obstruction following completion of the Fontan palliation is rarely seen and is a difficult problem to treat. Absence of the main pulmonary trunk and pulmonary valve at this stage makes a conventional Damus-Kaye-Stansel connection difficult to achieve. We report the case of a 37-year-old female who underwent Fontan completion as an adult and subsequently presented with systemic outflow tract obstruction. A valved conduit was interposed between the native pulmonary annulus and the ascending aorta to create a modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel type connection.
