A Multimodal Score Accurately Classifies Fontan Failure and Late Mortality in Adult Fontan Patients [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesDespite the outstanding success of the Fontan operation, it is a palliative procedure and a substantial number of patients experience late failure of the Fontan circulation. Clinical presentation and hemodynamic phenotypes of Fontan failure are

Functional hepatic deterioration determined by 13C-methacetin breath test is associated with impaired hemodynamics and late Fontan failure in adults [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundDespite improved survival a substantial number of Fontan patients eventually develop late failure. Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) is the most frequent end-organ dysfunction.

Thoracic Lymphatic Perfusion Patterns Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Late Fontan Failure [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background: Fontan circulation maintains an elevated venous pressure; this promotes venous and lymphatic congestion and may lead to late circuit failure.

Anesthetic Management for an Adult With Fontan Palliation During CPAP Titration and Cardiac Catheterization: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT We present the anesthetic management for a patient with single ventricle Fontan palliation undergoing simultaneous cardiac catheterization and CPAP titration, where the anesthetic ensured the pertinent goals of maintaining patient comfort, simulation of normal sleep, and preservation of physiologic conditions.

Late Fontan Circulatory Failure. What Drives Systemic Venous Congestion and Low Cardiac Output in Adult Fontan Patients?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The Fontan circulation provides definite palliation for children born with a single anatomical or functional ventricle by diverting systemic venous blood directly to the pulmonary arteries, effectively rendering systemic venous return into portal vessels

Iron deficiency and reduced exercise tolerance in adult Fontan patients [PDF]

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 ...
