In cyanotic heart disease, measurement of transcutaneous oxygen saturation is a cornerstone in scheduling interventional or surgical procedures. In patients with univentricular palliation, this assessment of transcutaneous oxygen saturation is essential prior to the third surgical step (establishment of total cavopulmonary connection) or could indicate presence of veno-venous collaterals bypassing the lung in subjects with completed Fontan circulation.
