The specific outcomes of patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum late after Fontan palliation are unknown. Patients with smaller right ventricles and myocardial sinusoids are known to have worse survival in the first years of life. Whether the potential for coronary ischaemia affects the long-term outcomes of these patients after Fontan palliation is still unknown.
