A new diagnostic algorithm for assessment of patients with single ventricle before a Fontan operation
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 06/02/09
Prakash A et al. - The proposed algorithm effectively screened for subjects who were deemed unsuitable for a Fontan procedure. In addition, omitting preoperative invasive hemodynamic assessment did not impair prediction of adverse postoperative outcomes. Prospective evaluation of such a noninvasive diagnostic strategy before the Fontan operation is warranted.
