Surgical and interventional rescue strategies for Fontan failure. [PDF]

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg, 2022
Abstract OBJECTIVES Fontan patients are at lifelong risk for developing complications, which may result in Fontan failure. Survival rates after heart transplantation (HTX) are still unsatisfying in these patients. Long-term survival of extracardiac Fontan patients in the modern era was

Identification of Risk Factors for Early Fontan Failure. [PDF]

Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2020
Despite improvements in operative and perioperative care, the risk of significant morbidity and mortality for children undergoing Fontan procedures persists. Previous investigations have identified peri-Fontan characteristics that may predict early adverse events.

Hemodynamics of Fontan Failure: The Role of Pulmonary Vascular Disease. [PDF]

Circ Heart Fail, 2017
Background Nonpulsatile pulmonary blood flow in Fontan circulation results in pulmonary vascular disease, but the potential relationships between pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) and Fontan failure have not been studied.

Surgical options after Fontan failure [PDF]

Heart, 2016
Objective The objective of this European multicenter study was to report surgical outcomes of Fontan takedown, Fontan conversion and heart transplantation (HTX) for failing Fontan patients in terms of all-cause mortality and (re-)HTX.

Does leaving native antegrade pulmonary blood flow at the time of the superior cavopulmonary connection impact long-term outcomes after the Fontan?Central MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objectives: Antegrade pulmonary blood flow (APBF) may be left or eliminated at the time of the superior cavopulmonary connection (SCPC). Our aim was to assess the impact of leaving native APBF at the SCPC on long-term Fontan outcomes.

Review on Mechanical Support and Cell-Based Therapies for the Prevention and Recovery of the Failed Fontan-Kreutzer Circulation

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Though the current staged surgical strategy for palliation of single ventricle heart disease, culminating in a Fontan circulation, has increased short-term survival, mounting evidence has shown that the single ventricle, especially a morphologic right ...

Body Mass Index Trajectory and Outcome Post Fontan Procedure

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Patients with a single ventricle who experience early life growth failure suffer high morbidity and mortality in the perisurgical period. However, long‐term implications of poor infant growth, as well as associations between body mass index ...
