Congenital: Fontan
Long-term outcomes following Fontan takedown in Australia and New Zealand
Fontan takedown remains an option for the management of Fontan failure. We sought to evaluate early and late outcomes after Fontan takedown.Evaluation of pulmonary endothelial function in Fontan patients
Pulmonary endothelial dysfunction due to a loss of pulsatile pulmonary blood flow is thought to be a major contributor in the development of increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with a Fontan circulation. We sought to evaluate pulmonary endothelial dysfunction by vasodilator response to acetylcholine in children and adolescents with Fontan hemodynamics.
