Objective: This study aims to assess and compare the early and long-term effects of extracardiac conduit (EC) and lateral tunnel (LT) in patients with a functional single ventricle through meta-analysis.
Design: A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBM, and WanFang databases for papers that were published until August 1, 2016. Cochrane systematic review method was used for paper screening and information retrieve, and RevMan 5.3 software was applied for the meta-analysis.
Results: Data for 10 studies with a total of 3814 patients were retrieved. The advantages of EC comparing to LT include: lower 30 day postsurgery supraventricular arrhythmia incidence (Relative Risk [RR] = 0.31 [0.17, 0.55], P < .001), lower protein loss enteropathy incidence (RR = 0.33 [0.11, 0.96], P = .04), and requiring no cardiopulmonary bypass. However, the chest drainage time was longer (mean difference [MD] = 1.99 [1.83, 2.15], P < .001) in EC. There were no significant differences in early postoperative mortality, long-term mortality, long-term arrhythmia, Fontan takedown, ventilator-assisted ventilation, ICU stay, thrombosis, pleural effusion, and pericardial effusion between EC and LT.
Conclusions: EC had a lower incidence of supraventricular arrhythmia (30 days after operation) and the rate of protein losing enteropathy than LT, and requiring no cardiopulmonary bypass. These show that EC has an advantage over the LT in patients with a functional single ventricle.

Prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency among individuals with Fontan palliation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Ann Pediatr Cardiol

Postgraduate School of Public Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
Background: Children with one functional ventricle might receive the Fontan procedure as palliative management to prolong their lives. However, the heart remains functionally univentricular, which may result in disrupted absorption of nutrients, including Vitamin D. Individuals with Fontan circulation have limited physical activity and sun exposure, which might further contribute to Vitamin D deficiency.

T1 relaxation time quantification on parametric maps is routinely used in cardiac imaging and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for diffuse liver disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between liver T1 values and cardiac function in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and compared patients with a biventricular circulation (BVC) to those with a Fontan circulation (FC). Magnetic resonance images from patients with CHD, obtained between June and December 2023 on a 1.

Background: Extracardiac conduit Fontan procedure (ECFP) employing a Gore-Tex conduit has been widely used for patients with single ventricle physiology; however, the long-term status of the conduit is unknown. We investigated the changes in a Gore-Tex conduit after ECFP and the factors associated with its narrowing.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 86 patients who underwent ECFP between January 1995 and December 2008 and had cardiac computed tomography (CT) during the follow-up period.

Cardiology Department, La Paz University Hospital, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain.
Background: Obstructive complications in the Fontan circulation pose significant risks to affected patients. Traditional management strategies may be insufficient, necessitating innovative treatment approaches. This case report discusses the use of the FlowTriever Retrieval System for percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy in a patient with a history of Fontan procedure who developed conduit obstruction due to thrombus formation.

Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Heart Disease, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Mexico City 14080, Mexico.
Background: Fontan circulation maintains an elevated venous pressure; this promotes venous and lymphatic congestion and may lead to late circuit failure. Our objective was to determine the association between thoracic lymphatic perfusion patterns assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and late Fontan failure.
Methodology: A retrospective study was performed.
