Abstract
The Fontan operation is a palliative procedure and a substantial number of patients eventually experiences late Fontan circulation failure. Previous concepts of Fontan failure implicate increasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) as a key contributor to late circulatory failure. However, data to support this assumption are sparse. We sought to characterize longitudinal hemodynamic and echocardiographic findings in adult failing Fontan...
