MRI Assessment of Energy Loss Within the Thoracic Aorta and Its Impact on Cardiac Function in Fontan Patients After Aortic Reconstruction. [PDF]

J Magn Reson Imaging
ABSTRACT Background In Fontan patients undergoing aortic reconstruction, concerns regarding the impact of aortic function on ventricular function exist. Purpose 4D Flow MRI was used to compare energy loss (EL) within the thoracic aorta in patients with and without aortic reconstruction. Study Type Retrospective case control.

Comparison of creatinine and cystatin C estimation of glomerular filtration rate in the Fontan circulation

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2021
Background: The Fontan circulation is associated with low skeletal muscle mass, which affects the accuracy of creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate estimates (eGFR/GFR). Cystatin C, another filtration marker, is less impacted by muscle mass.
