Fontan Failure and Death in Contemporary Fontan Circulation: Analysis From the Last Two Decades [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2018
We sought to evaluate the incidence of Fontan failure or complication and its relation to death in patients having contemporary Fontan strategies over 2 decades.Five hundred patients who underwent Fontan completion (extracardiac, n = 326; lateral tunnel, n = 174) from 1985 to 2012 were reviewed.

Investigating Fontan Failure Using Mathematical Modeling [PDF]

, 2021
Babies born with a single functioning heart ventricle instead of two require a series of surgeries during the first few years of life to redirect their blood flow, resulting in a Fontan circulation. Patients with Fontan circulations have excellent early survival; however, over time, their circulations begin to fail, ultimately resulting in their death.

Passive performance evaluation and validation of a viscous impeller pump for subpulmonary fontan circulatory support

Scientific Reports, 2023
Patients with single ventricle defects undergoing the Fontan procedure eventually face Fontan failure. Long-term cavopulmonary assist devices using rotary pump technologies are currently being developed as a subpulmonary power source to prevent and treat

Long-term management of Fontan patients: The importance of a multidisciplinary approach

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
The Fontan operation is a palliative procedure that leads to increased survival of patients with a functional single ventricle (SV). Starting from 1967 when the first operation was performed by Francis Fontan, more and more patients have reached ...

Lymphatic Abnormalities in Noonan Syndrome Extend Beyond Clinically Apparent Disease

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lymphatic disease represents a well‐described manifestation of Noonan syndrome (NS), yet the full phenotypic spectrum remains incompletely characterized, especially in asymptomatic individuals. We conducted a cross‐sectional study including 10 individuals with NS (four with peripheral lymphedema and six without) and 10 age‐ and sex‐matched ...

5D Flow MRI Reveals Respiration‐Driven Changes in Blood Flow Energetics in Congenital Heart Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hemodynamic monitoring is essential for patients with right‐sided congenital heart disease (CHD). Respiration may have an increased impact on pulmonary flow in these patients that cannot be assessed by standard tools including 4D flow MRI. This study uses 5D flow MRI to assess respiratory‐cycle variations in flow energetics in patients
