Impairments in Pulmonary Function in Fontan Patients: Their Causes and Consequences
Patients with a Fontan circulation lack a sub-pulmonary ventricle with pulmonary blood flow passively redirected to the lungs. In the Fontan circulation, ventilation has a significant influence on pulmonary blood flow and cardiac output both at rest and ...

Thromboembolic characteristics and role of anticoagulation in long-standing Fontan circulation
Introduction: The risk of thromboembolism increases with duration of Fontan circulation. Preventive drug strategies are still discussed controversially. We aimed to characterize clinical relevant thromboembolism in long-standing Fontan circulation and to

Fontan surgery by step-wise completing the isolation of originally mixed pulmonary and systemic circulation provides an operative approach for functional single-ventricle patients not amenable to biventricular repair and allows their survival into ...

Background Surgeries requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients with Fontan circulation pose great challenges. However, little information is available regarding the safety of OLV in Fontan patients when hemidiaphragmatic paralysis is present. Case
