Arrhythmias And Thromboembolic Complications After The Extracardiac Fontan Operation [PDF]
, 1998 Background: Late morbidity and mortality after the Fontan operation are largely due to atrial arrhythmias, ventricular failure, and thrombus formation. The extracardiac Fontan procedure avoids extensive atrial manipulation and suture lines, theoretically

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2015 As perioperative survival following the Fontan procedure has improved and more patients are reaping the benefits of physiologic palliation, the costs of longstanding systemic venous hypertension and the functional limitations of a single ventricle are becoming clearer. Arrhythmias, heart failure, protein-losing enteropathy, hepatic cirrhosis, pulmonary

Impact of older age at Fontan completion on mid-term survival
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022 Background The optimum age of Fontan completion remains unknown. Currently, the majority of centers worldwide are performing Fontan completion at 2–4 years of age.

A Multimodal Score Accurately Classifies Fontan Failure and Late Mortality in Adult Fontan Patients
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 ObjectivesDespite the outstanding success of the Fontan operation, it is a palliative procedure and a substantial number of patients experience late failure of the Fontan circulation. Clinical presentation and hemodynamic phenotypes of Fontan failure are

Hemodynamic assessment in transcatheter fenestration closure in patients after Fontan operation [PDF]
Българска кардиологияThe fenestration in Fontan operation consists in creation of a communication between venous circulation and the pulmonary venous atrium, allowing direct passage of blood from the venous to the systemic circulation (right-to-left shunt).

The Fontan Operation is Not the End of the Road
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2016 The purpose of this essay is to increase the awareness on what patients, families and those involved in the treatment and follow-up can face in the long run regarding the survivors of the Fontan operation (FO) and to provide some clues to diminish the deleterious effects of the single ventricle (SV) physiology. Although a significant number of patients

Outcome after a "perfect" Fontan operation.
, 1990 A study was undertaken to determine the early and long-term outcomes dictated by the Fontan state per se (a state in which the force driving pulmonary blood flow is solely or largely a residue, in the systemic venous pressure, of the main ventricular ...

Novel direct approach for placement of permanent transvenous pacing leads after Fontan procedure
Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2018 The need for transvenous pacing (patients who have exhausted epicardial options) after a Fontan-type operation has been recognized. Many novel strategies have been proposed, but currently, all of them require additional maneuvers or rerouting of the ...
