Pediheart Podcast #217: Outcomes Of Adults With Single Ventricle Physiology Not Palliated With A Fontan Repair




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we review a recent work on outcomes of univentricular adult patients who have not been palliated with a Fontan. Do these patients fare better than Fontan patients? What factors are associated with worse or better outcomes? How do these factors inform decision making for the single ventricle adult patient? We speak with adult congenital expert, Dr. Danielle Massarella of University of Toronto about her thoughts on this work and some of its important lessons.
