State of the art of the Fontan strategy for treatment of univentricular heart disease [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2018
In patients with a functionally univentricular heart, the Fontan strategy achieves separation of the systemic and pulmonary circulation and reduction of ventricular volume overload.

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

End‐Organ Function and Exercise Performance in Patients With Fontan Circulation: What Characterizes the High Performers?

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The physiologic hallmarks of the Fontan circulation—chronically elevated central venous pressures and low cardiac output—have significant effects not only on cardiovascular status but also impact other organ systems.

Exercise Intolerance, Benefits, and Prescription for People Living With a Fontan Circulation: The Fontan Fitness Intervention Trial (F-FIT)—Rationale and Design

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Background: Despite developments in surgical techniques and medical care, people with a Fontan circulation still experience long-term complications; non-invasive therapies to optimize the circulation have not been established.

Influence of 24 h Simulated Altitude on Red Blood Cell Deformability and Hematological Parameters in Patients with Fontan Circulation

Metabolites, 2022
Patients with Fontan circulation are particularly dependent on low pulmonary vascular resistance because their lungs are passively perfused. Hypoxia drives pulmonary vasoconstriction; thus, red blood cell (RBC) deformability and stability of ...
