Abstract
In the decades preceding the Fontan operation, there was an intensive experimental and clinical quest to bypass the right heart. Whereas right heart bypass was successfully achieved in animal experiments, clinically only partial bypass (superior cava-right pulmonary artery anastomosis) was applied successfully. This intensive experimental and clinical activity provided the background for the Fontan operation.Entities:
