Single-Ventricle Physiology

US Cardiology Review, 2020
Single-ventricle physiology occurs in patients with hypoplastic ventricular heart defects, either on the right or left, who have undergone stepwise palliation surgeries ending with the Fontan procedure.

Y-graft modification to the Fontan procedure: Increasingly balanced flow over time.

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020
OBJECTIVE The use of Y-grafts for Fontan completion is hypothesized to offer more balanced hepatic flow distribution (HFD) and decreased energy losses.

Associations Between Blood Biomarkers, Cardiac Function, and Adverse Outcome in a Young Fontan Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Patients who have undergone the Fontan procedure are at high risk of circulatory failure. In an exploratory analysis we aimed to determine the prognostic value of blood biomarkers in a young cohort who have undergone the Fontan procedure ...

Global strain and dyssynchrony of the single ventricle predict adverse cardiac events after the Fontan procedure: Analysis using feature-tracking cine magnetic resonance imaging.

Journal of Cardiology, 2019
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the late phase of the Fontan procedure could be predicted by strain measurements of single ventricles using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with ...

The Fontan Procedure: Now What? [PDF]

Pediatric Cardiology, 2014
The decision to commit a patient with single ventricle to the Fontan procedure route is made every day by pediatric cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons. At this point, there is no other viable alternative to the palliative procedure we currently refer to as Fontan Procedure, first described by Francois Fontan in 1971 [1], yet more than four ...
