Fontan Circulation [PDF]

Circulation, 2014
The Fontan operation has been the final palliation for children born with congenital heart defects with a functional single ventricle for >4 decades.1,2 In the early days of the Fontan operation, focus was rightly on technical modifications and alterations in strategy in an attempt to decrease morbidity and mortality related to the operation itself.3 ...

Occult Diastolic Dysfunction and Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Adolescents and Young Adults With Fontan Circulation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background In Fontan circulation, diastolic dysfunction portends a worse clinical outcome but may be concealed during routine assessment. Invasive evaluation with rapid volume expansion (RVE) can identify patients with occult diastolic dysfunction (ODD).

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

Induction of aggressive arterial and venous dilation therapy in addition to pulmonary dilation therapy (super-Fontan strategy) improves Fontan circulation both at rest and during treadmill exerciseCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2022
Objective: Fontan circulation maintains preload and cardiac output by reducing venous capacitance and increasing central venous pressure (CVP). The resultant congestive end-organ damage affects patient prognosis.

One-lung ventilation in a patient with Fontan circulation undergoing diaphragmatic plication surgery: a case report

JA Clinical Reports, 2019
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

Thromboprophylaxis in Patients With Fontan Circulation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2023
The optimal strategy for thromboprophylaxis in patients with a Fontan circulation is unknown.The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of aspirin, warfarin, and nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in a network meta-analysis.Relevant studies published by February 2022 were included. The primary efficacy outcome was thromboembolic

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.
