Recanalization of Thrombosed Atrial Flow Regulator in Failing Fontan: A Bridge to Transplant

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1380-1383, April 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy (41 kg, 133 cm) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (mitral and aortic atresia), who underwent staged palliation: Norwood‐Sano at 6 days, Glenn at 7 months, and Fontan completion at 3 years using a 16 mm non‐fenestrated extracardiac Gore‐Tex conduit.

Managing Feeding Refusal as an Unusual Presentation of Severe Atrioventricular Valve Regurgitation in a PostFontan Patient with Down Syndrome

Heart Views
Background: Feeding refusal is an uncommon and often overlooked manifestation of hemodynamic deterioration in patients with Fontan physiology. Case Presentation: We report a child with trisomy 21 and unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect who ...

Phenotyping of Fontan‐Associated Renal Physiology and Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
In patients with a Fontan circulation, both kidney function and glomerular injury progressively decline with age, with a stronger decline than in healthy individuals. Additionally, intrarenal haemodynamics in patients with a Fontan circulation demonstrate decreased venous and arterial compliance, evident through elevated venous impedance and renal ...

Fontan failure and the role of pulmonary vasodilator therapy [PDF]

Journal of Congenital Cardiology, 2020
Abstract Background The Fontan circulation is a palliative procedure for patients born with a single ventricle physiology. The Fontan circulation is associated with significant late morbidity commonly including atrial arrhythmias.

Gut Dysbiosis in Patients With Fontan Circulation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The process underlying Fontan pathophysiology is multifactorial and may include gut dysbiosis (GD). We investigated the presence of GD and elucidated its correlation with Fontan pathophysiology.

The use of Macitentan in Fontan circulation: a case report

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background The Fontan circulation, a result of a palliative procedure in patients with single systemic ventricles, is defined by chronically elevated pulmonary vascular resistance.

A one-and-a-half repair in a pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum: A more appropriate final repair strategy

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
Background: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) may be unable to compensate for right heart failure in the remote period due to inadequate right ventricular function, even if both ventricular circulations are maintained in the short ...

Diagnosis of Diastolic Dysfunction in Adults With Failing Fontan Circulation

JACC: Advances
Since the initial Fontan procedure introduced in 1968 for tricuspid atresia, significant advancements have expanded its application to various congenital cardiac anomalies where a biventricular circulation is unattainable. Despite improved survival rates,
