Background: Despite developments in surgical techniques and medical care, people with a
Fontan circulation still experience long-term complications; non-invasive therapies to …

Introduction Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe developmental defect
characterized by the underdevelopment of the left ventricle along with aortic and valvular …

Background Atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation is increasingly prevalent in patients
with a Fontan circulation. Objectives We sought to determine the impact of ventricular …

OBJECTIVES A conclusive interpretation of the role of ventricular dominance in outcomes
after Fontan palliation has not been formulated yet. We conducted a systematic review and …

Background Several clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived parameters
have been shown to be associated with death or heart transplant late after the Fontan …

Aims We hypothesized left atrial (LA) stiffness may serve as a surrogate marker in children to
differentiate elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) from normal and help …

Objectives The study aim was to compare Fontan patients undergoing lateral tunnel (LT)
versus extracardiac conduit (ECC) technique. Methods Fontan patients (LT vs ECC) from …

Abstract Background In Fontan patients, attrition of ventricular function is well recognized,
but early detection of ventricular dysfunction is difficult. The aim of this study is to …

Background Cross-sectional studies have reported that ventricular dilation and dysfunction
are associated with adverse clinical outcome in Fontan patients; however, longitudinal …

Background Single ventricle heart disease comprises a wide variety of critical heart defects
that lead to the provision of systemic cardiac output by one dominant ventricle. It requires …
