based on the revolutionary concept of the dispensable right ventricle, the fontan operation stands as the extreme example of physiologic repair in pediatric cardiac surgery, serving as the common surgical denominator for the entire spectrum of functionally univentricular conditions. also called ortho-terminal repair, it makes allowance for a circulatory arrangement that is in-series by effectively driving the pumpless systemic venous return directly through the pulmonary circulation. if this arrangement is to work, then two conditions must be fulfilled. first, there must not be any anatomical or functional hindrance along the whole fontan pathway, from the caval venous inflows to the aortic outflow. second, there must be a well-suited systemic pump, essentially recruited to the dual function of drawing blood from and, simultaneously, driving blood through, the lungs. this latter function, driving the blood through the lungs, takes place during the venous phase of the systemic output.

The pulmonary circulation is a low-resistance, low-pressure, high-flow system because its primary function is to oxygenate blood. For that reason, pulmonary circulation is different from systemic circulation. Because resistance is lower in pulmonary circulation, pressures across the pulmonary vascular bed also are substantially lower. An efficient system includes inherently low resistance. This allows the entire cardiac output to flow through without high-pressure areas, thereby diminishing the danger of rupturing thin gas-exchange surfaces. One other consequence of low resistance is that the pulmonary circulation is unusually susceptible to the effects of gravity. No substantial part of the cerebral circulation collapses in the head-up position because it is held open by the rigid cranium and the architecture of the venous sinuses. Pulmonary circulation is different. There is less ‘stenting open’ of pulmonary capillaries, and they are therefore more likely to partially or fully collapse when transmural pressure becomes negative.
