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.

متن کاملVasopressin After the Fontan Operation.
BACKGROUND Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation is common and increases morbidity and hospital length of stay. Vasopressin (VP), a neurohypophysial hormone, has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system. The most notable is increased peripheral vascular resistance, but it may also reduce capillary leakage by tightening endothelial intercellular junctions and reducing capill...
