Abstract
In patients with adequate hematocrit, arteriovenous fistula offers an effective bridge to transplantation when a high-risk Fontan procedure is deferred. Performance is best after unidirectional cavopulmonary connection and worse in the presence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Survival is 75% at 15 years, despite being considered end stage.
