Fontan Failure: Are Changes In Paced Qrs Duration Over Time Associated With Worse Disease?

, 2020
Background/Methods: Fontan failure is a diverse phenotype describing pathology in multiple organ systems that occurs in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with a functionally univentricular heart who have undergone surgical Fontan. While many Fontan

One and a half ventricle repair: clinical and animal study [PDF]

, 2013
SUMMARY Since the first description of the so called “one and a half ventricle repair”, published by Billingsly et al. in 1989 1, this type of correction has been applied to several complex congenital cardiac anomalies.

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 ...

Dobutamine stress testing in patients with Fontan circulation augmented by biomechanical modeling.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Understanding (patho)physiological phenomena and mechanisms of failure in patients with Fontan circulation-a surgically established circulation for patients born with a functionally single ventricle-remains challenging due to the complex hemodynamics and

Evidence of pulmonary vascular disease after heart transplantation for Fontan circulation failure [PDF]

, 2004
ObjectivesElevated pulmonary vascular resistance may contribute to late Fontan circulation failure but is difficult to assess in such patients. Our aims were to assess outcomes of patients with failed Fontan circulation after heart transplantation and to

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.

FUELing the Search for Medical Therapies in Late Fontan Failure

, 2020
The Fontan operation has become the final step in the palliation of many patients with single ventricle disease1. Although outcome has undoubtedly improved over the years, late failure is common and notoriously difficult to treat2, 3.

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,
