Correction to: Routine Sildenafil Does Not Improve Clinical Outcomes After Fontan Operation.

abstract：:A blood pump specifically designed to augment flow from the great veins through the lungs would ameliorate the poor physiology of the failing univentricular circulation and result in a paradigm shift in the treatment strategy for Fontan patients. This study is the first to examine mechanical cavopulmonary assistance w...
