Failure of the Fontan Circulation
Marc Gewillig,David J. Goldberg +1 more
TL;DR: The essence of a Fontan circuit is the creation of the Fontan "neoportal system," which allows for oxygenation at near normal levels, but at the cost of a chronic state of systemic venous congestion and decreased cardiac output.

The use of ventricular assist devices in pediatric patients with univentricular hearts.
TL;DR: Improved survival outcomes for pediatric patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs) has expanded their application to complex univentricular cardiac lesions, including patients with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomoses (BCPAs), and total cavopulating Fontan circulations.
