EMJ Cardiology, 2016 The original Fontan procedure was first introduced in the 1970s. The concept behind this surgical technique was revolutionary. It has subsequently transformed the lives of children born with complex congenital heart disease which was once thought to be inoperable and resulted in early death.

Fontan‐Associated Dyslipidemia
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Background Hypocholesterolemia is a marker of liver disease, and patients with a Fontan circulation may have hypocholesterolemia secondary to Fontan‐associated liver disease or inflammation.

Angiopoietin-2 predicts morbidity in adults with Fontan physiology. [PDF]
, 2019 Morbidity in patients with single-ventricle Fontan circulation is common and includes arrhythmias, edema, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) among others. We sought to identify biomarkers that may predict such complications.

New Applications of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Training in Paediatric Heart Disease [PDF]
, 2016 Congenital heart defects (CHD) have an incidence of 4-8/1000 live births and encompass a broad spectrum of disorders. Due to advances in cardiac surgery and cardiology care, most children born with CHD are now surviving into adulthood and there are ...

Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]
, 2010 Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.

Atrial cardiomyoplasty in a Fontan circulation [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2002 The Fontan circulation is a direct connection between the systemic veins and the pulmonary artery (PA). Consequently, the pulmonary flow is passive due to the gradient between the right and left atrial pressure. In patients with increased pulmonary vascular resistance, the surgical procedure of atrio-pulmonary connection is therefore prone to failure ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents a perfusable 3D bioengineered liver sinusoid platform that integrates biofabrication, 3D cell culture, controlled hemodynamics, and multiparametric characterization to model Fontan‐associated liver disease. By decoupling pressure and hypoxia effects, the system reveals early mechanobiological and profibrotic responses under ...
