Outcomes of late atrial tachyarrhythmias in adults after the Fontan operation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and echocardiographic features of adults who developed atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) late after a Fontan procedure with those who have remained free of arrhythmias. BACKGROUND Atrial tachyarrhythmias are a frequent complication of the Fontan operation. However, the outcomes in adult patients with AT who have had the Fontan opera...
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 کاملLate consequences of the Fontan operation.
Case Presentation A 15-year-old boy with hypoplastic left heart syndrome presents with newonset abdominal swelling and pretibial edema. The patient has been previously without symptoms from the cardiovascular perspective but is not very active and does not participate in sports. He is growing poorly, with height and weight <5th percentile for age, and has no signs of puberty (Tanner stage 1). B...
متن کاملMechano-electrical interaction late after Fontan operation: relation between P-wave duration and dispersion, right atrial size, and atrial arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND The growing population with Fontan operation surviving into adulthood has significant morbidity and mortality rates from recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias. We hypothesized that the structural characteristics and electrical behavior of atria may differ in these patients compared with those without arrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 33 consecutive patients (age, 25.4+/-9.5 y...
متن کاملLong-term results after the Fontan operation for tricuspid atresia.
Between 1968 and 1977, 32 patients who underwent the Fontan operation for tricuspid atresia at Bordeaux, France, or Leiden, The Netherlands, survived at least 1 year after surgery. These patients were evaluated clinically 7 to 16 years (mean 8.9 years) after surgery by review of clinical records, questionnaire, or direct examination. There were five deaths: one during arrhythmia, the second sud...
