Abstract

16-month-old with single ventricle Glenn physiology underwent early placement of an extra-cardiac non-fenestrated Fontan. Post-operative course complicated by a nearly occlusive inferior vena cava thrombus and an intra-Fontan thrombus causing multiorgan system failure. Both thrombi were emergently removed with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and computer guided clot-aspirator in the pediatric catheterization lab.
