Objectives: To describe the prevalence and risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients
undergoing the extracardiac Fontan operation with and without cardiopulmonary bypass …

Background: The three-stage surgical approach is now accepted as the standard for
management of children born with functional single ventricle. However, there is little …

Objective: We compared the early outcomes of patients undergoing extracardiac total
cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) …

Total cavopulmonary connection (Fontan) without using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may
be superior to Fontan on CPB. In the experience of many, a Fontan operation without CPB …

The Fontan operation has evolved considerably since first being described in the early
1970's. Modifications to the operative approach have been made to improve fluid dynamics …

Extracardiac Fontan is currently the preferred final palliation for patients with a univentricular
heart. The operation is commonly performed on Cardiopulmonary bypass on a beating …

Objectives/Purpose We hypothesize that perioperative use of subcutaneous treprostinil will
minimize the surgically-‐induced elevation in pulmonary vascular resistance, improve …
