Fontan associated liver disease: Is elastography useful?
Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Increased hepatic stiffness measured through shear wave elastography might just be reflecting higher venous pressures in patients with a Fontan circulation and the cut-offs used for viral hepatitis may not be applicable to single ventricle physiology patients.About:

TL;DR: Magnetic resonance elastography has a higher technical success rate than ultrasoundElastography and a better diagnostic accuracy than ultrasound elastsography and APRI for staging liver fibrosis.

40-Year Follow-Up After the Fontan Operation: Long-Term Outcomes of 1,052 Patients

TL;DR: As the surgical techniques for the Fontan operation have changed over the last 40 years, survival has improved, however, development of PLE and arrhythmias and the need for reoperation during long-term follow-up pose significant management challenges.

TL;DR: Based on a pooled analysis of data from individual participants, MRE has a high accuracy for the diagnosis of significant or advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, independent of BMI and etiology of CLD.

Progression of liver pathology in patients undergoing the Fontan procedure: Chronic passive congestion, cardiac cirrhosis, hepatic adenoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
TL;DR: The study shows that chronically increased hepatic venous pressure from the Fontan procedure might lead to chronic passive congestion, cardiac cirrhosis, hepatic adenoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography has good to excellent performance for the noninvasive staging of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B; further prospective studies are needed for head‐to‐head comparison between 2D‐SWE and other imaging modalities to establish disease‐specific appropriate cutoff points for assessment of fibrosis stage.
