First Report on Atrial Leadless Pacing in an Extra‐Cardiac Fontan Patient

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 466-470, April 2026.
ABSTRACT No reports on atrial leadless pacing have been demonstrated in patients with the extra‐cardiac Fontan palliation. We present a case of a patient with an extra‐cardiac Fontan and an alternative to pacing for symptomatic bradycardia in the setting of sinus node dysfunction.

First Report on Atrial Leadless Pacing in a Lateral Tunnel Fontan Patient

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 539-543, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction No reports on atrial leadless pacing have been demonstrated in patients with the Fontan palliation. We present the case of a patient with a Lateral tunnel Fontan palliation with leadless pacing system for symptomatic bradycardia in the setting of sinus node dysfunction. Methods After internal review board approval, a retrospective

Quantification of ventricular unloading by 3D echocardiography in single ventricle of left ventricular morphology following superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis and Fontan completion – a feasibility study

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2017
Background: Three-dimensional echocardiography. (3DE) is comparable to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for estimating ventricular volume in congenital heart diseases.

EAM‐CT Merge Guiding a Safe Transeptal Puncture in Atrial Tachycardia Ablation in a Intracardiac Fontan Patient

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A patient with tricuspid valve atresia and pulmonary artery valve stenosis underwent a total cavo‐pulmonary circulation with an unfenestrated intracardiac conduit. He experienced poorly tolerated atrial tachycardia and was referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). No interatrial shunt was evident.

Physics‐Informed Emulation of Systemic Circulation for Fast Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Quantification

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2026.
This work presents an innovative approach to modelling 1D fluid dynamics in complex networks using physics‐informed neural networks as surrogate models. By integrating physics‐based constraints with data‐driven learning, we develop an efficient and generalisable framework for uncertainty quantification and parameter estimation in real‐world ...

Current Nationwide Landscape of Cardiac Surgery for Children With Trisomy 18 in Japan

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 1, Page 77-83, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the increasing number of retrospective cohorts describing successful cardiac surgery for children with trisomy 18, no consensus has been reached among healthcare providers regarding cardiac surgery in Japan. This study provided a benchmark to facilitate consensus building by assessing a nationwide surgical database in Japan. A total of

Significance of additional pulmonary blood flow between second and third stage in Fontan pathway

BMC Pediatrics
Background The benefit of additional pulmonary blood flow (APBF) in Fontan pathway remains controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the systemic arterial saturation, ventricular and atrioventricular (AV) valve function, development of pulmonary

Evolution of Staged Approach for Fontan Operation

Journal of Nippon Medical School, 2002
During the early development of the Fontan operation, a number of physiologic and anatomical limits were proposed as selection criteria, and two criteria, pulmonary vascular resistance and ventricular function, have been important in predicting surgical outcome.

Cardiac autonomic function in patients with single ventricle physiology after Fontan palliation: A literature review

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease
Background: The Fontan operation has significantly improved survival in patients with single ventricle physiology. This comes at a price of highly prevalent long-term complications.

A Reconsideration of Risk Factors for the Fontan Operation

Annals of Surgery, 1990
We reviewed our experience in 38 patients who underwent a Fontan operation. In the first five patients ages 7.5 to 23 years (mean, 15 years), a conduit was placed from the right atrium to the small right ventricle or the pulmonary artery (PA). The remaining 33 patients, ages 7 months to 14 years (mean, 4.8 years), had a modified Fontan operation with ...
