Physiological Fontan Procedure [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Contributions of residual hypoxemia to exercise hyperventilation in Fontan patients [PDF]
2020-05It is unsettled whether increased exercise ventilation in Fontan subjects is due to increased pulmonary dead space or augmented ventilatory drive. Twenty-six Fontan patients underwent symptom-limited treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Two

Adolescents and adults with Fontan circulation: insights from the PREpArE-Fontan registry. [PDF]
The Patient Registry for Adolescents and Adults with Stable Fontan Circulation aims to describe a contemporary cohort of Fontan patients who could be eligible for a clinical trial investigating macitentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist.

Association of Lymphatic Abnormalities with Early Complications after Fontan Operation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Increased central venous pressure is inherent in Fontan circulation but not strongly related to Fontan complication. Abnormalities of the lymphatic circulation may play a crucial role in early Fontan complications.

Surgical options after Fontan failure. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE The objective of this European multicenter study was to report surgical outcomes of Fontan takedown, Fontan conversion and heart transplantation (HTX) for failing Fontan patients in terms of all-cause mortality and (re-)HTX.

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

Anaesthesia for a minor procedure in a patient with fontan physiology
Fontan procedure is a palliative surgery done for patients born with single ventricle physiology. An understanding of the hemodynamic alterations in such a patient is important for successful perioperative management.

Fontan modification for subsequent non-surgical Fontan completion [PDF]
Establishment of Fontan circulation in complex univentricular hearts often requires several surgical procedures. We developed a procedure which maintains the advantages of a staged approach, however, during the initial surgery additional preparatory measures are performed to allow subsequent non-surgical Fontan completion.The operation is a lateral ...
