Extracardiac conduit versus lateral tunnel cavopulmonary connections at a single institution: Impact on outcomes

Objective: To compare outcomes of extracardiac conduit and lateral tunnel Fontan connections in a single institution over a concurrent time period. Methods: Between January 1994 and September 1998, 60 extracardiac conduit and 47 lateral tunnel total cavopulmonary connections were performed. Age, sex...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective: To compare outcomes of extracardiac conduit and lateral tunnel Fontan connections in a single institution over a concurrent time period. Methods: Between January 1994 and September 1998, 60 extracardiac conduit and 47 lateral tunnel total cavopulmonary connections were performed. Age, sex, and weight did not differ between the 2 groups. Compared with the lateral tunnel group (LT group), patients undergoing the extracardiac conduit procedure (EC group) had a trend to a higher incidence of morphologically right ventricle (EC group 48% vs LT group 32%; P
