Mitchell's cath went very well. He received diagnostic clearance for the Fontan procedure, and the stent in his pulmonary artery was dilated from 8mm to 10mm.
Atlanta will correspond with Pensacola and decide on a plan of action. Ready for surgery, but could we wait? Reasoning for waiting is complications that can develop post-Fontan because of the compromised circulation (specifically related to the increased pressures to the liver).
They have care conferences on Mondays and will discuss Mitchell after speaking to his Cardiologist at home. Will keep you posted as we know more.
This heart Cath will serve as diagnostic for surgery for up to 6 months.
Thank you for coming, Bob & Carolyn!
