Abstract The gold standard for determining the severity of liver disease in Fontan patients is now liver biopsy. Since it is an invasive procedure, this study determined the possibility of applying mitochondrial function from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as a non‐invasive indicator of liver fibrosis.

Bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis improves mechanical efficiency in dilated atriopulmonary connections [PDF]
Objective: Few therapeutic options exist for patients with failing dilated atriopulmonary connections. We addressed the hypothesis that a bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis will improve the hemodynamic efficiency of dilated atriopulmonary ...

Veno-venous shunt-assisted cavopulmonary anastomosis
Objective : The bidirectional Glenn shunt is commonly performed under cardiopulmonary bypass for conditions that lead to a single ventricle repair. We report our experience of bidirectional Glenn shunt done without cardiopulmonary bypass.

The Effect of Additional Pulmonary Blood Flow on Timing of the Total Cavopulmonary Connection
Background. The staged Fontan procedure is used to palliate functionally univentricular hearts. The effect of additional pulmonary blood flow combined with a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt in these patients remains a controversial subject.
