Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess ventricular mass, volume, and systolic function in patients late after Fontan operation by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. BACKGROUND: An assessment of determinants for ventricular function in post-Fontan patients was intended. METHODS: Twenty-three unselected patients (9 female, 14 male) at a median age of 19.4 years (range, 7.8 to 31.3 years), at a median time of 10.5 years (range, 4.1 to 18 years) after Fontan operation were studied.
