Exercise Intolerance, Benefits, and Prescription for People Living With a Fontan Circulation: The Fontan Fitness Intervention Trial (F-FIT)—Rationale and Design

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Background: Despite developments in surgical techniques and medical care, people with a Fontan circulation still experience long-term complications; non-invasive therapies to optimize the circulation have not been established.

Natural and Modified History of Atrioventricular Valve Regurgitation in Patients With Fontan Circulation.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2022
BACKGROUND Atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation is increasingly prevalent in patients with a Fontan circulation. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the impact of ventricular dominance and AVV operation on outcomes in patients with a Fontan ...

Late Fontan Circulatory Failure. What Drives Systemic Venous Congestion and Low Cardiac Output in Adult Fontan Patients?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The Fontan circulation provides definite palliation for children born with a single anatomical or functional ventricle by diverting systemic venous blood directly to the pulmonary arteries, effectively rendering systemic venous return into portal vessels
