Fontan operation has evolved from atriopulmonary connection to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) due to its advantages in terms of hemodynamics and reduction of atrium-related complications.

Mechanical circulatory support for the failing functional single ventricle. [PDF]
The advent of surgical palliation for functional single ventricle (FSV) heart defects was an impressive feat for pediatric cardiovascular surgery and medicine just a few decades ago. Parents were given hope for what would have been uniformly fatal congenital heart disease, and today, substantial survival is expected by both families and care providers ...

The term “single ventricle” refers to a wide range of cardiac structural and functional abnormalities which cause the morphologically right or left ventricle to be hypoplastic or functionally inadequate.

Adverse impact of univentricular pacing for the patient with functional single ventricle: successful conversion to cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Background In a Fontan candidate, univentricular pacing may cause delay in interventricular conduction, which induces asynchronous contraction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is expected to be an effective mode of therapy in such a case.

The use of the Berlin Heart EXCOR in patients with functional single ventricle. [PDF]
The frequency and successful use of pediatric ventricular assist devices (VADs) as a bridge to cardiac transplantation have been steadily increasing since 2003, but the experience in patients with complex congenital heart disease has not been well described. Using a large prospectively collected dataset of children supported with the Berlin Heart EXCOR

Measurement of global longitudinal strain using the apical four-chamber view as a simple indicator for assessing myocardial longitudinal deformation in patients with functional single ventricle [PDF]
Background Currently, no unified standardized protocols exist for myocardial longitudinal strain measurement in functional single ventricle (FSV) patients, causing inconsistent methodologies in clinical practice and related studies. Some studies use only

Pharmacokinetics of treprostinil in children with functional single-ventricle pulmonary arterial hypertension: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
Background Application of Treprostinil (TRE) in the patients with single ventricle (SV) physiology is very limited, and the optimal dose for children has not been determined.
