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

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).

Impact of pulsatile pulmonary blood flow on cardiopulmonary exercise performance after the Fontan procedureCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: To evaluate the exercise capacity in patients following Fontan–Kreutzer, Fontan–Björk, and total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). Methods: Patients who performed exercise capacity tests at least once after the Fontan procedure between 1979 and

Computational analysis of serum-derived extracellular vesicle miRNAs in juvenile sheep model of single stage Fontan procedure

Extracellular Vesicle, 2022
Patients with single ventricle heart defects requires a series of staged open-heart procedures, termed Fontan palliation. However, while lifesaving, these operations are associated with significant morbidity and early mortality.

Increased Risk for Thromboembolism After Fontan Surgery: Considerations for Thromboprophylaxis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
The Fontan circulation introduces an increased risk of thromboembolism which is associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. Adverse outcomes of thromboembolic complications post-Fontan surgery vary in both nature and severity, ranging from local

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 ...
