Despite advances in percutaneous interventions, transcatheter Fontan completion remains experimental and performed only in select cases. Non-surgical Fontan completion requires surgical preconditioning at an earlier stage of palliation. We describe transcatheter Fontan completion in a 15-year-old male with previously failed surgical Fontan palliation without surgical preconditioning.
