BEYOND THE FONTAN: SURGICAL AND CATHETER BASED REINTERVENTIONS ARE COMMON IN LONG-TERM SINGLE VENTRICLE SURVIVORS

Risk factors were pre-Fontan atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) (HR 2.5, p= 0.008) and prolonged post-Fontan mechanical ventilation (HR 1.06 per day, p = 0.001). Catheter-based intervention occurred in 50% of patients by 20 yrs - most commonly pulmonary artery intervention and elective fene...

Description
Summary:Risk factors were pre-Fontan atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) (HR 2.5, p= 0.008) and prolonged post-Fontan mechanical ventilation (HR 1.06 per day, p = 0.001). Catheter-based intervention occurred in 50% of patients by 20 yrs - most commonly pulmonary artery intervention and elective fenestration closure.
