Epicardial cardioverter defibrillator implantation due to post-fontan ventricular tachycardia
Long-term survival of patients submitted to a Fontan procedure is reduced because of arrhythmias. Late post-Fontan ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare, but it can be fatal. Consequently, the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

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.

Transplant-Amenable Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Fontan Patient
The Fontan circulation alters a patient’s physiology and imparts long-term risks related to chronically elevated systemic venous pressure. An increasing number of patients with Fontan physiology are surviving into adulthood and are at risk of hepatic ...

Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.
