Late Total Cavopulmonary Connection in Adolescents and Adults: Narrative Review of Patient Selection and Outcomes [PDF]
Background: Although most patients with univentricular physiology undergo staged palliation during childhood, a small subset reaches adolescence or adulthood without complete cavopulmonary connection. The role of late total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC)

Reversal of Glenn-associated diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after total cavopulmonary connection: a case report [PDF]
BackgroundDiffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are a rare but serious complication after the Glenn procedure. Clinically, they typically present with progressive hypoxemia, which can lead to worsening cyanosis, reduced exercise tolerance,

The Influence of Respiration on Blood Flow in the Fontan Circulation: Insights for Imaging-Based Clinical Evaluation of the Total Cavopulmonary Connection [PDF]
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and functionally univentricular heart defects represent the most severe end of this spectrum. The Fontan circulation provides an unique solution for single ventricle patients, by connecting both ...

Selection of revision technique for suboptimal total cavopulmonary connection based on computational fluid dynamics: a case report [PDF]
Background Unequal pulmonary blood flow in Fontan circulation is a known contributor to development of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF). However, optimal revision strategies remain debated, especially in patients with a pedicled autologous ...
