Association Between Hemodynamic Parameters and Gut Microbiota in Fontan Circulation: A Cross‐Sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The Fontan operation results in chronic hemodynamic alterations, including central venous hypertension, which may contribute to gut dysbiosis. This study aimed to compare gut microbiota profiles between Fontan patients and age‐ and sex‐matched

An alternate technique of performing total cavopulmonary connection without cardiopulmonary bypass

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2023
Total cavopulmonary connection (Fontan) without using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be superior to Fontan on CPB. In the experience of many, a Fontan operation without CPB may be associated with a reduced need for inotropic support, improved outcomes ...
