Anesthetic Management for an Adult With Fontan Palliation During CPAP Titration and Cardiac Catheterization: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT We present the anesthetic management for a patient with single ventricle Fontan palliation undergoing simultaneous cardiac catheterization and CPAP titration, where the anesthetic ensured the pertinent goals of maintaining patient comfort, simulation of normal sleep, and preservation of physiologic conditions.

Adenosine-Sensitive Focal Atrial Tachycardia Late After Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan Procedure: A Case Report. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
We describe a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a patient late after atriopulmonary connection (APC) Fontan procedure. Radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT; meanwhile, conversion to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and/or Maze procedure may fail to suppress the AT because the origin was crista ...

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

IJU Case Rep
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).

Effects of oral sildenafil after palliative procedures to increase pulmonary blood flow in cyanotic heart diseases

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2020
Background Continuing efforts have been exerted to improve the outcome of palliative procedures for cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Sildenafil is known for the management of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension, but the cardiac benefits of

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).

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 ...

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.

THE FONTAN CIRCULATION [PDF]

Heart, 2005
A normal mammal cardiovascular system consists postnatally of a double—pulmonary and systemic—circuit, connected in series, powered by a double pump—the “right” and “left” heart. Many complex cardiac malformations are characterised by the existence of only one functional ventricle. This “single” ventricle then has to maintain both the systemic and the

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Support in Special Patient Populations—The Bidirectional Glenn and Fontan Circulations

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a support modality used within the pediatric cardiac ICU population as a bridge to recovery or decision in the setting of acute myocardial decompensation, support for combined cardiopulmonary failure or in ...

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
