Severe Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease and Its Association With Mortality

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Data are rare about the incidence of severe Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD) and its association with mortality. We sought to: (1) estimate the probability of developing severe FALD in patients who undergo the Fontan procedure (Fontan ...

TREATMENT OF SUBACUTE FONTAN FAILURE USING A CATHETER-BASED APPROACH TO FONTAN TAKEDOWN

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020
Following Fontan palliation for univentricular congenital heart disease (uCHD), life-threatening complications related to this unique physiology often develop. Surgical takedown (TD) is associated with a 40% mortality, and few options exist for refractory Fontan failure.
