Intravascular Lithotripsy in an Adult With Fontan Pathway Obstruction

Abstract

Fontan pathway obstruction is a potentially serious complication characterized by an anatomical or functional narrowing anywhere in the cavo-pulmonary pathways. Here, we report the first case in the literature where an innovative Fontan conduit rehabilitation procedure with intravascular lithotripsy was used achieving a dramatic increase in the pathway size.
