Abstract
We report a case of Fontan completion for a tricuspid atresia (TA) patient with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). The patient was diagnosed with TA (Ia) with LVNC by fetal echocardiography. Because the unfavourable prognosis of LVNC was anticipated, Imidapril as well as Carvedilol were administered to improve cardiac function, from the early stages of infancy. Staged Fontan completion with fenestration was successfully achieved with improvement of LV function.Entities:
