Successful coil embolization for Fontan‐rout to aorta communication—recovery from complication of brockenbrough procedure in Fontan patient

The Brockenbrough (BB) procedure is becoming the necessary procedure for radiofrequency ablation for supravalvular tachycardia in patients after a Fontan procedure. We experience Fontan‐rout to aorta communication caused by the BB procedure. The communication was successfully occluded using a detach...

Description
Summary:The Brockenbrough (BB) procedure is becoming the necessary procedure for radiofrequency ablation for supravalvular tachycardia in patients after a Fontan procedure. We experience Fontan‐rout to aorta communication caused by the BB procedure. The communication was successfully occluded using a detachable coil. This complication was rare but could still happen as an increasing necessity of the catheter ablation in patients with a Fontan procedure. Coil embolization is a potential option for recovery from this complication. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
