“…After the initial technique described for tricuspid atresia (1), the Fontan circulation has evolved in technique, beginning from the right atrial to pulmonary connection (6,(138)(139)(140), to right atrial to right ventricular connection for patients with tricuspid atresia (141)(142)(143)(144), to tricuspid valve exclusion for patients with single ventricle (6,145), to now the two surgical techniques most frequently used: the lateral tunnel (146,147), and the extra-cardiac conduit (148)(149)(150). Improvements in intra-operative techniques, as well of the available materials, has allowed accomplishment of Fontan completion while the heart continues to beat, therefore avoiding myocardial ischemia (151), or even without requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (152).…”

Background and Objective: Key medical and surgical advances have been made in the longitudinal management of patients with "functionally" single ventricle physiology, with the principles of Fontan circulation applied to other complex congenital heart defects. The purpose of this article is to review all of the innovations, starting from fetal life, that led to a change of strategy for single ventricle.Methods: Our literature review included all full articles published in English language on the Cochrane, MedLine, and Embase with references to "single ventricle" and "univentricular hearts", including the initial history of the treatments for this congenital heart defects as well as the innovations reported within the last decades.
