Article Synopsis
  • This study reviews the use of transfemoral-transcaval (TFTC) and transjugular liver biopsies (TJLB) in patients with Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), involving 30 procedures at a single center from 2011 to 2023.
  • All liver biopsies were technically and histopathologically successful, with 93% performed during cardiac catheterization and only minor complications reported, indicating the procedures are safe for these patients.
  • The transfemoral approach is preferred due to its compatibility with cardiac catheterization and reduced risk associated with the Fontan shunt, making it a beneficial option for managing FALD.

Results show that the combined effect of HFHLD and RCL reduces the serum melatonin ( < 0.
