Biomarkers and the Fontan Circulation [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2016 Although the dramatically improved survival of children with single‐ventricle heart disease with Fontan circulation in the recent era is a tremendous accomplishment in pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery, it has been accompanied by a growing realization that Fontan circulation is largely ...

Optimal Fenestration of the Fontan Circulation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In this paper, we develop a pulsatile compartmental model of the Fontan circulation and use it to explore the effects of a fenestration added to this physiology. A fenestration is a shunt between the systemic and pulmonary veins that is added either at the time of Fontan conversion or at a later time for the treatment of complications.

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]
, 2014 Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

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.

Outflow boundary conditions for 3D simulations of non-periodic blood flow and pressure fields in deformable arteries [PDF]
, 2010 The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled multidomain method to couple analytical models of the downstream domains with 3D ...

Hypoalbuminaemia predicts outcome in adult patients with congenital heart disease [PDF]
, 2015 Background In patients with acquired heart failure, hypoalbuminaemia is associated with increased risk of death. The prevalence of hypoproteinaemia and hypoalbuminaemia and their relation to outcome in adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD ...

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2017 The unique, unphysiological Fontan circulation is associated with an impaired functional status of the patients that is suggested to deteriorate over time. Unfortunately, previous studies did not integrate both pulmonary and cardiac determinants of functional status.

Anesthetic management of hepatectomy for the patient with Fontan circulation: a case series
JA Clinical Reports, 2022 Background Hepatectomy for patients with Fontan circulation consists of high central venous pressure and low pulmonary vascular resistance, and is challenging for physicians.
