FUELing the Search for Medical Therapies in Late Fontan Failure [PDF]
Circulation, 2020 The Fontan operation has become the final step in the palliation of many patients with single ventricle disease1. Although outcome has undoubtedly improved over the years, late failure is common and notoriously difficult to treat2, 3. In the face of increasing numbers of young failing Fontan patients with heart transplant as the only, high risk exit ...

Fontan Circulation: Success or Failure?
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2013Fontan surgery represents a milestone in the evolution of congenital heart disease management. It achieved the seemingly improbable (ie, restoration of a noncyanotic state by entirely bypassing the subpulmonary ventricle). In so doing, it has allowed a generation of children who may have otherwise succumbed to their severe congenital heart defect to ...

Biventricular conversion for Fontan failure
Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2016Certain cardiac malformations may pose difficulties in achieving a biventricular repair, and univentricular repair may be selected for them if the Fontan criteria are satisfied. However, univentricular palliation is not without its own drawbacks. We present a patient with double outlet of the right ventricle with pulmonic stenosis where the Fontan ...

Fontan failure: phenotypes, evaluation, management, and future directions
Cardiology in the Young, 2022AbstractObjectives:Management of “failing” and “failed” Fontan circulation, particularly the indications, timing, and type of re-intervention, currently remains nebulous. Factors contributing to pathogenesis and mortality following Fontan procedure differ between children and adults.Methods:Since organ systems in individual patients are affected ...

The Fontan Procedure: Anatomy, Complications, and Manifestations of Failure
RadioGraphics, 2011The Fontan procedure refers to any operation that results in the flow of systemic venous blood to the lungs without passing through a ventricle. It is performed to treat several complex congenital heart abnormalities including tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and double-inlet ...

Diastolic Heart Failure in Patients With the Fontan Circulation
JAMA Cardiology, 2020The Fontan circulation, accomplished by direct surgical connection of the vena cavae to the pulmonary arteries, can be an effective palliation for patients with a single ventricle. However, failure of the Fontan circulation can result from mechanical obstruction, cardiac arrhythmias, increasing pulmonary vascular resistance, or deteriorating ...
