An Adult Patient with Fontan Physiology: A TEE Perspective
Fontan and Baudet described in 1971 the separation of the pulmonary and systemic circulations resulting in univentricular physiology. The evolution of the Fontan procedure, most notably the substitution of right atrial-to-pulmonary artery anastomosis with cavopulmonary connections, resulted in significantly improved late outcomes. Many patients survive well into adulthood and are able to lead p...
متن کاملArterial stiffness in adult patients after Fontan procedure
OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is a risk factor of atherosclerosis and cardio-vascular complications. The aim of the study was to determine whether peripheral vascular function might be an early marker of impaired health status in patients with a single ventricle after Fontan procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty five consecutive adults (11 women and 14 men) aged 24.7 ± 6.2 years aft...
متن کاملEsophageal Varix in an Adult Fontan Survivor
A 27-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for the investigation of the causes of melena and anemia. At seven years of age, she had undergone a Fontan operation of total cavo-pulmonary connection (TCPC) for right isomerism, dextrocardia, single atrium, single ventricle, and common atrioventricular canal (Picture A). She had been treated with warfarin after the operation and had been in go...
متن کاملThe Fontan procedure in adults.
SETTING Tertiary adult congenital cardiac referral centre. DESIGN Retrospective cross sectional analysis. OBJECTIVES To report our 20 year experience with adult Fontan operations, and to compare late outcome in patients with single ventricle with definitive aortopulmonary or cavopulmonary shunt palliation. PATIENTS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patients older than 18 years undergoing Fontan o...
متن کاملAppropriate route selection for extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection in apicocaval juxtaposition.
BACKGROUND A malpositioned heart with apicocaval juxtaposition may complicate the management of patients with functional single ventricles when total cavopulmonary connection is performed. We reviewed our experience with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection in patients with apicocaval juxtaposition with a special focus on route selection and outcomes. METHODS Of 68 patients who underwe...
