Abstract
Although rare, plastic bronchitis (PB) is an important early complication after Fontan procedure. Kartagener’s syndrome is characterized by mucociliary dysfunction of the respiratory tract and has a triad of features, including situs inversus totalis, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasia. We experienced PB in a patient with Kartagener’s syndrome 5 years after Fontan procedure.
