Phenotyping of Fontan-Associated Renal Physiology and Disease. [PDF]
Compr PhysiolIn patients with a Fontan circulation, both kidney function and glomerular injury progressively decline with age, with a stronger decline than in healthy individuals. Additionally, intrarenal haemodynamics in patients with a Fontan circulation demonstrate decreased venous and arterial compliance, evident through elevated venous impedance and renal ...

A New Mechanistic Insight Into Macro-Reentrant Atrial Tachycardia in a Patient With Modified Fontan Circulation. [PDF]
J ArrhythmFontan flutter: an unusual example of an atrial tachycardia circuit in a patient with atrio‐pulmonary connection (APC) conduit. The tachycardia circuit propagates around the base of the conduit (encircled by the arrows, showing direction of propagation from earliest [red] to latest [purple]).

Non diagnosed PAPVC induce large reverse venovenous shunt after modified Fontan surgery: A case report of a rare anomaly and embolization therapy [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2021 Fontan operation is a reliable palliative surgery for patients with single ventricle physiology. Still, the development of complication is common; one of these complications that need to interventional approach is veno-venous collaterals between systemic

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 ...

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
, 2013 Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.
