Myocardial infarction due to thrombosis of native aorta late after Fontan procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Patients with single ventricle physiology who have undergone the Fontan procedure are at risk for long-term complications such as thrombus formation. Thrombus formation in the native aortic root (NAR) can be life-threatening if retrograde filling of the coronary arteries (CAs) is impaired. We presen...

description Patients with single ventricle physiology who have undergone the Fontan procedure are at risk for long-term complications such as thrombus formation. Thrombus formation in the native aortic root (NAR) can be life-threatening if retrograde filling of the coronary arteries (CAs) is impaired. We present three cases of NAR thrombus with embolization to the CA, resulting in myocardial infarction. Thromboembolic events are well-documented complications of Fontan physiology, and optimal prevention and treatment strategies are poorly defined.
