Contrast‐Enhanced Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Useful for Surveying Gastroesophageal Varices in Patients After Fontan Surgery

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) following Fontan surgery (FS) could not be predicted by blood biochemical indices and other clinical factors, and contrast‐enhanced CT or MRI can be useful for surveying GEVs in patients following FS. ABSTRACT Objectives Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a common complication of Fontan surgery (FS) because of the ...
