Varicocelectomy Restores Spermatogenesis in Fontan‐Associated Varicocele: A Two‐Case Series

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Fontan circulation may cause chronic venous hypertension and predispose patients to varicocele and infertility, but the clinical significance of surgical treatment remains unclear. Case Presentation We describe two patients with Fontan circulation who developed Fontan‐associated varicocele (FAVC).

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 539-555, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

The Fontan Procedure for Single-Ventricle Physiology [PDF]

Critical Care Nurse, 2018
The Fontan procedure is the final procedure in staged palliation for patients with functional single-ventricle physiology. The goal of the procedure is to separate systemic and pulmonary blood flow by directing systemic venous return through the Fontan connection to the pulmonary arteries and the lungs without ventricular contribution.

Association of Fontan Circulation With Gut Microbiome Derived Straight and Branched Short Chain Fatty Acids

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1825-1836, June 2026.
Adults with Fontan circulation (n = 20) and matched controls underwent body composition, frailty testing, CPET, and NICaS hemodynamics. Plasma short‐chain fatty acids were quantified by LC–MS/MS. Fontan patients had higher straight and branched SCFAs, correlating with lower muscle mass, greater frailty, reduced VO2max, and worse resting/postexercise ...

Carcinoma hepatocelular após cirugía de Fontan: relato de caso

Galicia Clínica
BACKGROUND: Single ventricle includes various cardiac abnormalities in which either one ventricle is underdeveloped or a ventricular septal wall did not form, leading to the mixing of arterial and venous blood in the heart. The Fontan procedure separates

Hepatocellular carcinoma after the Fontan procedure in a 16-year-old girl

Medicine, 2016
Introduction: The Fontan procedure (FP) has become the standard operation for patients with single ventricle physiology. However, a long period of elevated systemic venous pressure and low cardiac output after the procedure result in chronic inflammation

The Hemi-Fontan operation: A critical overview

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2014
The hemi-Fontan (HF) operation is a staging procedure in the journey towards an ultimate Fontan palliation. Although popular in the Western world, it has found limited application in the developing world.

Epicardial cardioverter defibrillator implantation due to post-fontan ventricular tachycardia

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2020
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
