Arrhythmias after the Fontan procedure.
OBJECTIVE To study the determinants and outcome of arrhythmias after the Fontan type operation. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data in patients operated on between 1972 and 1986 (follow up 5-19 years (mean 12 years)). PATIENTS All 60 patients undergoing a Fontan type procedure at the National Heart Hospital, London, during the study period (mean age (SD) 12.3 (6.8) years). RESULTS Posto...
متن کاملPulmonary artery size and late functional outcome after Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery (PA) growth after a Fontan procedure tends to be suboptimal to somatic growth. This study aimed to investigate whether the PA size affects the late outcomes of the Fontan procedure. METHODS This study enrolled 120 Fontan patients. Their mean age was 19.3 ± 5.6 years. PA size was measured from computed tomographic images. Patients were divided into three groups acco...
متن کاملLaboratory measures of exercise capacity and ventricular characteristics and function are weakly associated with functional health status after Fontan procedure.
BACKGROUND Patients after the Fontan procedure are at risk for suboptimal functional health status, and associations with laboratory measures are important for planning interventions and outcome measures for clinical trials. METHODS AND RESULTS Parents completed the generic Child Health Questionnaire for 511 Fontan Cross-Sectional Study patients 6 to 18 years of age (61% male). Associations o...
متن کاملFontan procedure for tricuspid atresia.
A Fontan procedure has been performed on 29 patients for tricuspid valvular atresia. The age range was 8 months to 33 years (median 10 years), the pulmonary vascular resistance ranged from 1.8-6.1 units . m2 (mean 3.3 units . m2), and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure ranged from 13-45 mm Hg (mean 21 mm Hg). Twenty-nine previous operations had been performed in 23 patients. Fourteen other as...
متن کاملOutcome after a "perfect" Fontan operation.
A study was undertaken to determine the early and long-term outcomes dictated by the Fontan state per se (a state in which the force driving pulmonary blood flow is solely or largely a residue, in the systemic venous pressure, of the main ventricular chamber's contractile force) and the transition (by surgery) to it from the state of congenital heart disease under optimal conditions (after a "p...
