Resuscitation after modified fontan procedure

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994
As the survival rate after modified Fontan procedure is increasing, cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be needed in such patients for other causes not related to their cardiac status. The state-of-the-art cardiopulmonary resuscitation with external chest compression may not be sufficient to revive such patients, and the addition of external abdominal ...

Modified Hemi-Fontan Procedure [PDF]

Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Staged palliation for neonates born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and other single ventricle heart defects has provided a viable form of treatment with everimproving short- and long-term outcomes. The second-stage palliation for single ventricle heart defects, the hemi-Fontan, or bidirectional Glenn operation removes the volume overload ...

Experience with the Fontan procedure

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1984
From 1975 to the present, 45 patients have undergone modifications of the Fontan procedure for complex congenital heart disease. There were 30 males and 15 females ranging in age from 2 to 38 years (mean 13 years). Primary diagnoses were tricuspid atresia in 19, univentricular heart in 24, and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in two ...

A case report of Fontan procedure-related hepatocellular carcinoma: pure laparoscopic approach by low and stable pneumoperitoneum

BMC Surgery, 2020
Background The Fontan procedure has become the standard operation for patients with single ventricle physiology. Due to cardiac hypokinesis and high central venous pressure, laparoscopic approach, especially in hepatectomy, was considered as ...

Can a Home-based Cardiac Physical Activity Program Improve the Physical Function Quality of Life in Children with Fontan Circulation? [PDF]

, 2016
Objective Patients after Fontan operation for complex congenital heart disease (CHD) have decreased exercise capacity and report reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Studies suggest hospital-based cardiac physical activity programs can improve

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 ...
