DOI: 10.1007/s00246-019-02183-3
Abstract: Prolonged pleural effusion after Fontan operation is a significant morbidity that leads to long hospital stays. We investigated the association of multiple risk factors, including clinical characteristics, hemodynamic parameters, and preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00380-019-01544-5
Abstract: Atrial arrhythmia is an important cause of late death in patients after the Fontan-Style operation. However, the detailed electrophysiological characteristics of the post-Fontan atrium and its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12519-018-0177-z
Abstract: BackgroundAtrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) is a common complication in patients who have undergone a Fontan operation. In this study, we investigated whether abnormal Ca2+ handling contributes to the Fontan operation-related atrial arrhythmogenic substrate.MethodsMongrel dogs were randomly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2017.03.020
Abstract: Background Elevated central venous pressure (CVP), low cardiac output, and mild hypoxia are common early and late after Fontan operations. However, the association of these characteristics with late mortality is unclear. We aimed to elucidate… read more here.
