Adequacy and Safety of Liver Biopsy Performed During Cardiac Catheterization in Patients With Fontan and Non-fontan Heart Disease

Gastro Hep Advances
Background and Aims: Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis. Biopsy performed during cardiac catheterization is a unique approach performed at few centers.

Diminished liver microperfusion in Fontan patients: A biexponential DWI study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
It has been demonstrated that hepatic apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) are decreasing in patients with a Fontan circulation. It remains however unclear whether this is a true decrease of molecular diffusion, or rather reflects decreased ...

Early Experience and Lessons Learned Using Implanted Hemodynamic Monitoring in Patients With Fontan Circulation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Data on the use of implanted hemodynamic monitoring (IHM) in patients with Fontan circulation are limited. This study reports our experience using the CardioMEMS HF system in adults with Fontan circulation.

An Emphasis on Screening to Detect Liver Cirrhosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients Having Undergone the Fontan Procedure in Early Childhood

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2020
The Fontan procedure is a surgical procedure for patients with single-ventricle anatomy that results in the flow of systemic venous blood to the lungs without passing through a ventricle.

5D Flow MRI Reveals Respiration‐Driven Changes in Blood Flow Energetics in Congenital Heart Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hemodynamic monitoring is essential for patients with right‐sided congenital heart disease (CHD). Respiration may have an increased impact on pulmonary flow in these patients that cannot be assessed by standard tools including 4D flow MRI. This study uses 5D flow MRI to assess respiratory‐cycle variations in flow energetics in patients

Varicocelectomy Restores Spermatogenesis in Fontan‐Associated Varicocele: A Two‐Case Series

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Fontan circulation may cause chronic venous hypertension and predispose patients to varicocele and infertility, but the clinical significance of surgical treatment remains unclear. Case Presentation We describe two patients with Fontan circulation who developed Fontan‐associated varicocele (FAVC).

Association of Fontan Circulation With Gut Microbiome Derived Straight and Branched Short Chain Fatty Acids

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1825-1836, June 2026.
Adults with Fontan circulation (n = 20) and matched controls underwent body composition, frailty testing, CPET, and NICaS hemodynamics. Plasma short‐chain fatty acids were quantified by LC–MS/MS. Fontan patients had higher straight and branched SCFAs, correlating with lower muscle mass, greater frailty, reduced VO2max, and worse resting/postexercise ...

Routine follow-up transjugular liver biopsy in Fontan patients: technical considerations and safety of an initial case series and literature review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionPatients with Fontan palliation are susceptible to congestive hepatopathy and Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) because of hemodynamic changes.

Successive perioperative management of laparoscopic liver resection in the reverse Trendelenburg position for a patient with Fontan physiology: a case report

JA Clinical Reports, 2021
Background Laparoscopic surgery for a patient with Fontan physiology is challenging because pneumoperitoneum and positive pressure ventilation could decrease venous return and the accumulated partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) could ...
