Abstract
This report describes the first clinical experience with the new Occlutech Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR®) device for implementation of a late Fontan fenestration. The AFR® device secured a defined diameter of the fenestration without spontaneous re-occlusion of this extra-anatomic perforation. This ensured a permanent clinical improvement of our failing Fontan patient.Entities:
