A New Mechanistic Insight Into Macro-Reentrant Atrial Tachycardia in a Patient With Modified Fontan Circulation. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Fontan 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]).

Late Fontan Circulatory Failure. What Drives Systemic Venous Congestion and Low Cardiac Output in Adult Fontan Patients?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The Fontan circulation provides definite palliation for children born with a single anatomical or functional ventricle by diverting systemic venous blood directly to the pulmonary arteries, effectively rendering systemic venous return into portal vessels
