DOI: 10.1111/chd.12558
Abstract: OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that clinic-based, hepatic-ultrasound, elastography measurements, either alone or in combination with other noninvasive variables, might correlate with liver-biopsy fibrosis scores in patients post-Fontan. METHODS Between March 2012 and February 2017, we identified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2019-001224
Abstract: Objective Patients with Fontan surgery experience late complications in adulthood. We studied the factors associated with the development and maintenance of atrial arrhythmias and thromboembolic complications in an adult population with univentricuar physiology post Fontan… read more here.
