Increased Risk for Thromboembolism After Fontan Surgery: Considerations for Thromboprophylaxis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
The Fontan circulation introduces an increased risk of thromboembolism which is associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. Adverse outcomes of thromboembolic complications post-Fontan surgery vary in both nature and severity, ranging from local

Impact of Fontan Fenestration on Long‐Term Outcomes: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The long‐term impact of fenestration at the time of Fontan operation remains unclear. We aimed to review the early and long‐term impact of Fontan fenestration in the Australia and New Zealand cohort.

Occlusion of aortopulmonary and venovenous collaterals prior to heart or combined heart-liver transplantation in Fontan patients: A single-center experience

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2021
Background: Single ventricle patients palliated with the Fontan operation may eventually require heart (OHT) or combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) to treat Fontan circulatory failure.

Transcatheter fenestration in Fontan failure: Our clinical experience. [PDF]

Turk Gogus Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Derg
The aim of our study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects and clinical outcomes of transcatheter fenestration in patients who developed Fontan failure.Between January 2014 and December 2022, among a total of 187 patients undergoing the Fontan operation, 10 (6 males, 4 females; median age: 10.9 years; range, 4.2 to 23 years) who underwent ...

Inhaled iloprost for the treatment of patient with Fontan circulation [PDF]

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
Decreased exercise capacity after Fontan surgery is relatively common and the failure of the Fontan state gradually increases with age. However, there is no further treatment for patients with Fontan circulation.

Atrioventricular Valve Failure in Fontan Palliation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Atrioventricular valve failure (moderate or greater regurgitation, or valve operation) is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients undergoing Fontan palliation.This study determined the incidence of atrioventricular valve failure and its clinical impact on patients undergoing Fontan palliation.A retrospective cohort longitudinal study was ...

The impact of altitude on early outcome following the Fontan operation

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2006
Background The success of a Fontan circulation depends on several factors including low pulmonary vascular resistance. Pulmonary vascular resistance rises in response to hypoxia. Hypoxia is associated with altitude.

Relation of Fontan Baffle Stroke Volume to Fontan Failure and Lower Exercise Capacity in Patients With an Atriopulmonary Fontan

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Fontan failure remains a significant problem, especially in patients with an atriopulmonary Fontan. Fontan baffle volume change during the cardiac cycle (Fontan baffle stroke volume) may affect outcomes in Fontan circulation. Assuming that increased Fontan baffle stroke volume is associated with increased energy loss in the baffle, we hypothesized that
