Computational Rheo‐Hydrodynamic Analysis of Non‐Newtonian Blood Flow Through a Tilted Ellipsoidal Stenosed Vascular Segment

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Non‐Newtonian blood flow through multiple tilted ellipsoidal stenoses is numerically investigated using the DeKee‐Turcotte‐Papanastasiou model. The results reveal asymmetric velocity fields, elevated wall shear stress, significant pressure drops, and shear‐dependent thermal effects, highlighting the critical hemodynamic risks associated with eccentric ...

Pediatric heart transplantation after a Fontan procedure

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов
The Fontan procedure is a surgical technique used for hemodynamic correction of complex congenital heart defects (CHDs), and is used when radical correction of CHDs is anatomically impossible.

Adenosine‐Sensitive Focal Atrial Tachycardia Late After Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan Procedure: A Case Report

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
We describe a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a patient late after atriopulmonary connection (APC) Fontan procedure. Radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT; meanwhile, conversion to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and/or Maze procedure may fail to suppress the AT because the origin was crista ...

Trigger Criteria for Advance Care Planning in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review

CJC Pediatric &Congenital Heart Disease, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 169-178, June 2026.
Abstract Background Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) face increased risks of premature morbidity and mortality. Advance care planning (ACP) facilitates longitudinal, patient‐centered care but remains underused in this population, partly due to the lack of validated trigger criteria to initiate ACP.

Management of the Fontan circulation in the adult patient [PDF]

, 2017
The Fontan circulation poses challenges for the patient and clinician throughout the patient’s lifetime. Given the unique physiology of the Fontan circulation, even the best Fontan patient will have a degree of exercise limitation and, with advancing ...

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 539-555, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

Iron deficiency and reduced exercise tolerance in adult Fontan patients

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundThe Fontan procedure allows patients with complex congenital heart defects unsuitable for biventricular repair to reach adulthood; however, it results in a non-physiological circulation characterized by chronically elevated systemic venous ...

The Canadian Fontan Connection (CANFON): Protocol for a National Lifespan Cohort of People Living With a Fontan Circulation

CJC Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease
The life expectancy of people living with a Fontan circulation has improved significantly over recent decades. However, this population remains at risk of multiorgan complications and premature mortality with advancing age.
