INCREASING CYANOSIS AFTER TOTAL CAVOPULMONARY CONNECTION TREATED BY BANDING A SEPARATE LIVER VEIN

, 1995
An increasing right-to-left shunt after a total cavopulmonary connection was treated by banding the separate liver vein. As a variation on a fenestrated total cavopulmonary connection, this liver vein was not connected with the intercaval tunnel. After a

Echocardiographic Assessment of Atrial Function in Patients With Fontan Palliation: Feasibility, Reproducibility, and Prognostic Implications

CJC Pediatric &Congenital Heart Disease, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 121-128, June 2025.
Abstract Background Atrial strain provides a global assessment of left heart diastolic function in patients with biventricular circulation, and it is used for risk stratification. However, the role of atrial strain imaging for risk stratification in patients with Fontan palliation has not been studied, and this is likely related to the complex anatomy ...

Determinants of cardiac output in health and heart failure

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 637-648, 1 May 2025.
Abstract Sustained physical exercise depends on delivery of oxygenated blood to exercising muscle. At least among healthy individuals, bulk transport of blood is tightly matched to metabolic demand, such that cardiac output increases by ∼6 L/min for every 1 L/min increase in oxygen uptake. Multiple factors contribute to the regulation of cardiac output,

Impact of pulmonary artery size on early haemodynamic and laboratory variables following total cavopulmonary connection.

OBJECTIVE: Current research suggests that a small pulmonary artery can cause adverse events and reduce exercise capacity after the Fontan procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pulmonary artery size on early haemodynamic and laboratory ...

Pulmonary hepatic flow distribution in total cavopulmonary connections: extracardiac versus intracardiac.

, 2018
OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations can occur after the Fontan procedure and are believed to be associated with disproportionate pulmonary distribution of hepatic venous effluent.

Exercise MR of Skeletal Muscles, the Heart, and the Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 535-560, February 2025.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) is routinely used to evaluate organ morphology and pathology in the human body at rest or in combination with pharmacological stress as an exercise surrogate. With MR during actual physical exercise, we can assess functional characteristics of tissues and organs under real‐life stress conditions.

Neurohormonal activation late after cavopulmonary connection

, 2000
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether patients with cavopulmonary connection have higher levels of vasoactive/water-salt regulating hormones and if so, whether hormone levels are related to postoperative haemodynamics and postoperative follow up.DESIGN: Cross ...

Validating the Concept of Mechanical Circulatory Support with a Rotary Blood Pump in the Inferior Vena Cava in an Ovine Fontan Model

Bioengineering
Right-sided mechanical support of the Fontan circulation by existing devices has been compounded by the cross-sectional design of vena cava anastomosis to both pulmonary arteries. Our purpose was to investigate whether increasing inferior vena cava (IVC)

Nonfenestrated extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection in 132 consecutive patients.

, 2007
BACKGROUND: The study was conducted to assess the need for fenestration for completion of a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) with the most recent modification of an extracardiac conduit.
