Pulmonary hepatic flow distribution in total cavopulmonary connections: Extracardiac versus intracardiac [PDF]

, 2011
ObjectivePulmonary arteriovenous malformations can occur after the Fontan procedure and are believed to be associated with disproportionate pulmonary distribution of hepatic venous effluent.

Non‐Invasive Assessment of Endothelial Dysfunction and Arterial Stiffness in Fontan Circulation

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Fontan procedure is the definitive treatment for complex congenital heart disease, creating a circulation without a subpulmonary ventricle. This altered hemodynamic state negatively affects endothelial function, contributing to progressive organ dysfunction and long‐term morbidity.

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).

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.

Incidence and risk factors for the development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after stage 2 palliation

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease
Objective: This study evaluated the current incidence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) following stage 2 palliation (S2P). Methods: Patients who underwent S2P, either through a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) or the Kawashima ...

Adenosine‐Sensitive Focal Atrial Tachycardia Late After Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan Procedure: A Case Report

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
We describe a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a patient late after atriopulmonary connection (APC) Fontan procedure. Radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT; meanwhile, conversion to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and/or Maze procedure may fail to suppress the AT because the origin was crista ...

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 ...
