Aortopulmonary collateral flow is related to pulmonary artery size and affects ventricular dimensions in patients after the fontan procedure.

Aortopulmonary collateral flow is related to pulmonary artery size and affects ventricular dimensions in patients after the fontan procedure.

BACKGROUND: Aortopulmonary collaterals (APCs) are frequently found in patients with a single-ventricle (SV) circulation.
