Abstract
The combination of relative cardiomegaly within the context of the thoracic cavity at the level of the pulmonary veins and antero-lateral displacement of the aorta is associated with left-sided PVO and subsequent failure to achieve Fontan completion. Further characterization of these unique geometric relationships may help inform both surveillance strategies and decision making in the timing of interventions, and guide the intraoperative objectives at the time of PVO repair.
