ABSTRACT: A 38-year-old man with a functional single ventricle secondary to hypoplastic left heart syndrome presented with exertional fatigue. His last palliation was an intra-atrial conduit Fontan procedure. Comprehensive evaluation showed elevated liver enzyme values and a small, calcified conduit. Successful conversion to a nonfenestrated extracardiac conduit Fontan was performed with normalization of his liver enzyme values.
