We report a case of Fontan completion for a tricuspid atresia (TA) patient with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). The patient was diagnosed with TA (Ia) with LVNC by fetal echocardiography. Because the unfavourable prognosis of LVNC was anticipated, Imidapril as well as Carvedilol were administered to improve cardiac function, from the early stages of infancy. Staged Fontan completion with fenestration was successfully achieved with improvement of LV function.

Division of Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Duke University Health System, Durham, NC, USA.
Background: Patients with Fontan circulation are frail and experience multisystem dysfunction including impaired exercise capacity, low resting and exercise-augmented cardiac output, and progressive liver fibrosis. However, common underlying biochemical abnormalities or disease-specific biomarkers have not been well-described.
Objectives: We wish to investigate Fontan and their matched healthy subjects using a nontargeted, followed by targeted metabolomic analysis.

Background: We still know little about the effective pharmacological treatment of heart failure (HF) associated with the Fontan circulation. One of the new options may be sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which have been proven effective in classic forms of left ventricular HF.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect and safety of SGLT2i inclusion in adults with Fontan circulation.

Background: The discussion of Fontan fenestration is difficult because many institutions have different strategies over time. In our institute, we performed a non-fenestrated Fontan procedure for single-ventricular physiology as our definitive strategy.
Methods: Between August 1999 and December 2007, 72 consecutive patients with single-ventricle physiology underwent extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection without fenestration as our definitive strategy.
Efficiency at Heart: Navigating the Hybrid Single-Ventricle Pathway.

Background: Single-ventricle cardiac defects (SVCDs) are among of the most health care resource-intensive congenital diseases. Although SVCDs are traditionally palliated using the Norwood pathway, in the last 2 decades select programs have used the hybrid strategy, which redistributes the operative and interstage risks. This study sought to characterize resource use for a cohort of patients with hybrid-palliated SVCD.

Background And Objective: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a routine cross-sectional imaging modality in adults with congenital heart disease. Developing CMR techniques and the knowledge that CMR is well suited to assess long-term complications and to provide prognostic information for single ventricle (SV) patients makes CMR the ideal assessment tool for this patient cohort. Nevertheless, many of the techniques have not yet been incorporated into day-to-day practice.
