Popis: Total cavopulmonary connection, commonly referred to as the Fontan procedure, is the established destination therapy for univentricular hearts. While the procedure permits a longer survival of these patients, this circulation involves several compromises from normal human circulation and poses several challenges with increasing age after surgery. We present an instance of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction with Guillain-Barre syndrome in an adult after Fontan palliation and discuss the challenges in management.
