Background: Fenestration in the modified Fontan operation allows right-to-left shunting, which reduces the Fontan pathway pressure and improves cardiac output. However, on account of the fact that persistent right-to-left shunting results in cyanosis and paradoxical emboli, fenestration closure is recommended after recovery from the Fontan operation. Methods: This study recruited 3 patients who underwent the transcatheter closure of the Fontan fenestration with the ASD-Amplatzer because of severe cyanosis and significant intracardiac shunts. Results: Fenestration closure was performed at a mean age of 8 yr (6-12 yr) and average of 15 months after the Fontan operation. Aortic O2 saturation increased by an average of 17.6% (9-26%).
