摘要
Choussat's "Ten Commandments," which describes the components of an ideal Fontan candidate, was first published in 1977. Despite the wisdom in these commandments, it is clear from a historic perspective that total compliance with all criteria does not necessarily portend excellent long-term survival. I believe the end point of the original commandments should be modified to include improvement in long-term survival. I suggest the following single commandment: "Thou Shalt Be Perfect.".
