Abstract

Fontan conduit stenosis can impair haemodynamics, necessitating stent implantation. We present a 16-year-old patient who developed platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome due to a post-stenting baffle leak. Despite initial diagnostic challenges, a second catheterisation confirmed and successfully sealed the defect with a covered stent. This case highlights the need for close monitoring and prompt intervention to manage complications in Fontan patients.

Fontan隧道内支架植入后的肺动脉-正氧综合征。

Fontan导管狭窄会影响血流动力学，需要植入支架。我们报告了一位16岁的患者，由于支架置入术后挡板泄漏而发展为喘气-正氧综合征。尽管最初的诊断有困难，但第二次导管检查证实并成功地用覆盖支架密封了缺陷。本病例强调需要密切监测和及时干预，以管理Fontan患者的并发症。
