Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of performing magnetic
resonance elastography (MRE) as a screening tool for elevated liver stiffness in patients' …

Purpose To use MR elastography to assess liver stiffness in patients with congenital heart
disease palliated with the Fontan procedure and correlate findings with cardiac index and …

Background The incidence of late liver complications such as fibrosis or cirrhosis has
increased among patients who have undergone the Fontan procedure. Magnetic resonance …

Objective To evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in screening
patients for hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma after the Fontan …

Aim To compare targeted and global liver stiffness measured by magnetic resonance
elastography (MRE) with liver biopsy in patients who have undergone the Fontan procedure …

OBJECTIVE: Studies have shown that patients with failing Fontan circulation may develop
liver cirrhosis with its sequelae. Therefore, early detection of fibrosis is essential to identify …

Objectives To explore the utility of liver T1 mapping in Fontan patients and its correlation to
magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)-derived liver stiffness. Background and aims Liver …

Fontan associated liver disease is associated with morbidity and mortality in palliated single-
ventricle congenital heart disease patients. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) …

Aim Patients who undergo the Fontan procedure for complex congenital heart disease are
prone to liver cirrhosis. Liver stiffness (LS) reflects liver fibrosis stage in patients with chronic …

BACKGROUND. The Fontan operation palliates single-ventricle congenital heart disease
but causes hepatic congestion with associated progressive hepatic fibrosis. OBJECTIVE …
