Fontan‐Associated Dyslipidemia [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021
Background Hypocholesterolemia is a marker of liver disease, and patients with a Fontan circulation may have hypocholesterolemia secondary to Fontan‐associated liver disease or inflammation. We investigated circulating lipids in adults with a Fontan circulation and assessed the associations with clinical characteristics and ...

A Multimodal Score Accurately Classifies Fontan Failure and Late Mortality in Adult Fontan Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesDespite the outstanding success of the Fontan operation, it is a palliative procedure and a substantial number of patients experience late failure of the Fontan circulation. Clinical presentation and hemodynamic phenotypes of Fontan failure are

Physiological Fontan Procedure [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Objective: The conventional Fontan circulation deviates the superior vena cava (SVC = 1/3 of the systemic venous return) toward the right lung (3/5 of total lung volume) and the inferior vena cava (IVC = 2/3 of the systemic venous return) toward the left lung (2/5 of total lung volume).

Case report and review of the literature: Successful transition from acute continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration therapy to chronic peritoneal dialysis in a chronically ventilated child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome following fontan

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Fontan palliation depends on low pulmonary vascular resistance in order to maintain pulmonary blood flow and adequate oxygenation. This physiology results in higher central venous pressures with limited renal perfusion pressure and cardiac output ...
