- Abstract
Extracardiac conduit‐total cavopulmonary connection (EC‐TCPC) represents the latest evolution in Fontan palliation for single ventricle physiology. Here, we review a manuscript by Pan et al. in the Journal of Cardiac Surgery detailing a retrospective, single‐center cohort study of patients with and without heterotaxy syndrome undergoing EC‐TCPC. Although lacking a comparison to other techniques for single ventricle palliation, this approach appears to offer excellent outcomes for this complex patient cohort.
