The Fontan circulation

Continuing Education in Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain, 2008
In a normal biventricular heart, the systemic and pulmonary circulations are in series and each circulation is supported by a ventricle. In patients born with a single ventricular chamber, the two circulations are in parallel and patients only survive because the systemic and pulmonary venous bloods mix.

Management of the failing Fontan circulation [PDF]

Heart, 2012
The ‘Fontan circulation' has evolved to include a variety of surgical procedures designed to overcome the absence of two distinct ventricular chambers.1 w1–w3 Inherent to this circulation is chronic elevation of right atrial and vena caval pressure, and absence of a dedicated power source to serve the pulmonary circulation, making low pulmonary ...

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 ...
