FIGURE 56-15 A lateral tunnel Fontan operation enlarges the right atrium and directs inferior caval flow into the right pulmonary artery using an end-to-side anastomosis to provide bidirectional flow into both pulmonary arteries. A snared purse-string suture adjusts the size of an atrial septal opening that is used to decompress caval pressures and to control the amount of right-to-left shunting.
