Specific Request- this surgery is the Fontan. Short version- attachment of Inferior Vena Cava will provide more passive blood flow to the lungs= more oxygen.
Praying they can do the Y-Fontan vs. traditional Fontan that would divide the blood flow and lessen the pressure of blood flow (hopefully minimizing complications from the high pressures).
The stent in his Left Pulmonary Artery makes it more complicated for the Y procedure. To be determined in the OR.
Thankful for Mitchell's surgeon and his ability to determine what is best.
