Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction with Guillain-Barre syndrome in Fontan circulation

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2023
Total cavopulmonary connection, commonly referred to as the Fontan procedure, is the established destination therapy for univentricular hearts. While the procedure permits a longer survival of these patients, this circulation involves several compromises

Surgical planning of the total cavopulmonary connection: robustness analysis. [PDF]

Ann Biomed Eng, 2015
In surgical planning of the Fontan connection for single ventricle physiologies, there can be differences between the proposed and implemented options. Here, we developed a surgical planning framework that help determine the best performing option and ensures that the results will be comparable if there are slight geometrical variations. Eight patients

Successful balloon dilatation of an infolded polytetrafluoroethylene graft: An unusual cause of early Fontan failure

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2023
Despite optimal medical management, an 8-year-old boy had persistent pleural drainage following total cavopulmonary connection. Detailed evaluation, including computed tomography angiography, confirmed obstruction at the lower end of the circuit due to ...

An in-vitro evaluation of the flow haemodynamic performance of Gore-Tex extracardiac conduits for univentricular circulation

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Objective(s) The Fontan procedure is a common palliative intervention for sufferers of single ventricle congenital heart defects that results in an anastomosis of the venous return to the pulmonary arteries called the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC)

Exploring the Lung–Liver Axis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
Among PAH patients without liver disease, subclinical liver dysfunction quantified by MELD‐Na associates with higher pulmonary vascular resistance and inflammatory activation of the pulmonary endothelium, characterized by an IL‐6‐centered transcriptional network enriched for leukocyte chemotaxis.

Varicocelectomy Restores Spermatogenesis in Fontan‐Associated Varicocele: A Two‐Case Series

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Fontan circulation may cause chronic venous hypertension and predispose patients to varicocele and infertility, but the clinical significance of surgical treatment remains unclear. Case Presentation We describe two patients with Fontan circulation who developed Fontan‐associated varicocele (FAVC).

Phenotyping of Fontan‐Associated Renal Physiology and Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
In patients with a Fontan circulation, both kidney function and glomerular injury progressively decline with age, with a stronger decline than in healthy individuals. Additionally, intrarenal haemodynamics in patients with a Fontan circulation demonstrate decreased venous and arterial compliance, evident through elevated venous impedance and renal ...
