We report a 23-year-old patient undergoing functionally univentricular repair who developed cardiac failure due primarily to systemic ventricular dysfunction. The failing Fontan circulation was successfully re-established using intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. Aortic counterpulsation facilitates recovery of systemic ventricular function, and appears to be a reasonable alternative in select instances of cardiac failure in patients with the Fontan circulation.
我们报告了一名23岁接受功能性单心室修复的患者，其出现心力衰竭主要是由于体循环心室功能障碍。通过主动脉内球囊反搏成功重建了衰竭的Fontan循环。主动脉反搏有助于体循环心室功能的恢复，并且在Fontan循环患者的某些心力衰竭病例中似乎是一种合理的替代方法。
