Back in the Cath Lab


Andrew did well overnight. Still asleep and on the vent. He is back in the cardiac cath lab now. Because of his heterotaxy, Andrew's heart is unique. As a result, his Fontan graft is longer and has a curve that is also unique. We knew it was likely that his new Fontan would need a stent to give it more support so it won't get a narrowing or kinked. We expect he will be in the cath lab for a couple hours. One nice thing about doing the cath so soon is that Andrew doesn't have to experience the pre-/post- procedure since he is still out from yesterday's surgery.
