DOI: 10.1007/s00246-020-02388-x
Abstract: 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) has proven useful and accurate during some operating room (OR), interventional cardiac catheterization (Cath), and electrophysiologic (EP) procedures. The use of 3D-TEE during similar procedures in patients who have undergone Fontan… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2019.07.544
Abstract: Introduction As survival rates of patients born with univentricular heart defects and palliated by the Fontan operation increase, Fontan failure is more frequently encountered in the adult years. The evidence for use of serological markers,… read more here.
