Abstract
The Fontan operation, using an external conduit, is no exception. From the chest x-ray film one can only appreciate the change in the shape of the heart and chest to heart ratio before and after the operation. However, a new graft conduit with radiographic markers has been introduced as a possible external conduit for Fontan’s palliation and is visible on chest roentgenogram (PECA Labs, Inc, Pittsburgh, PA)I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
