AB  - A 38-year-old woman underwent atriopulmonary Fontan surgery at age 18 years and 
      subsequently successfully delivered a girl by cesarean section at age 34. Her 
      condition later deteriorated due to atrial tachyarrhythmia and progressed to New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV heart failure. Her treatment, at age 36, 
      comprised total cavopulmonary connection conversion, direct right atrial ablation 
      with bipolar radiofrequency devices, the creation of an atrial septal defect, and 
      placement of a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker. Three years after the 
      conversion, her condition has improved to NYHA class I.
