Systemic ventricular assist device support in Fontan patients: A report by ACTION.

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2021
BACKGROUND The size of the Fontan population with end-stage heart failure is growing. In this population, heart transplantation has been the only option.

Late Fontan failure in adult patients is predominantly associated with deteriorating ventricular function.

International Journal of Cardiology, 2021
BACKGROUND The Fontan operation is a palliative procedure and a substantial number of patients eventually experiences late Fontan circulation failure. Previous concepts of Fontan failure implicate increasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) as a key ...

Diastolic Heart Failure in Patients With the Fontan Circulation: A Review.

JAMA cardiology, 2020
The Fontan circulation, accomplished by direct surgical connection of the vena cavae to the pulmonary arteries, can be an effective palliation for patients with a single ventricle.

Hepatocellular carcinoma and the Fontan circulation: Clinical presentation and outcomes.

International Journal of Cardiology, 2020
BACKGROUND Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) is universal in patients with a Fontan circulation. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of its severe expressions, and, though rare, frequently fatal.

Fontan-associated liver disease: A review.

Journal of Cardiology, 2019
The Fontan procedure has led to increased long-term survival of patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease. Hemodynamic changes associated with the Fontan circulation, including elevated central venous pressure and diminished cardiac output ...

Effect of fenestration on Fontan procedure outcome: a meta-analysis and review.

Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Many studies investigating fenestration in the context of Fontan surgery have been showing controversial results when it comes to whether or not this procedure truly improves the outcomes of the surgery.

Characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma arising from Fontan‐associated liver disease

Hepatology Research, 2020
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can arise from Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD); this is known as FALD‐HCC. The clinical features of FALD‐HCC are unclear. Thus, we examined the incidence and clinical characteristics of FALD‐HCC.

Does liver biopsy accurately measure fibrosis in Fontan‐associated liver disease? A comparison of liver biopsy pre–combined heart and liver transplant and liver explant post‐transplant

Clinical Transplantation, 2020
The accuracy of liver biopsy to stage fibrosis due to Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD) remains unclear. We compared the results of biopsy pre–combined heart and liver transplantation (CHLT) to the results of whole liver explant.

Hepatocellular carcinoma after Fontan surgery: A systematic review

Hepatology Research, 2020
Fontan surgery is often the procedure of choice for patients with congenital single effective ventricle. In the long term, elevated systemic venous pressure and chronic ischemia following this procedure could lead to advanced chronic liver disease and ...
