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.

Background: This study aimed to validate respiratory-resolved five-dimensional (5D) flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) against real-time two-dimensional (2D) phase-contrast MRI, assess the impact of number of respiratory states, and measure the impact of respiration on hemodynamics in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients.
Methods: Respiratory-resolved 5D flow MRI-derived net and peak flow measurements were compared to real-time 2D phase-contrast MRI-derived measurements in 10 healthy volunteers. Pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratios (Qp:Qs) were measured in 19 CHD patients and aortopulmonary collateral burden was measured in 5 Fontan patients.

Context: Families are vital providers and recipients of pediatric palliative care (PPC) services. Understanding the scope and nature of evidence at the intersection of family science and PPC research is necessary to develop family-focused interventions that enhance child and family health.
Objectives: Explore and describe the family-level impact of pediatric serious illness.

Background: Dietary modification is the mainstay of treatment for postoperative chylothorax in children. However, optimal fat-modified diet (FMD) duration to prevent recurrence is unknown. Our aim was to determine the association between FMD duration and chylothorax recurrence.

Congenital portosystemic venous connections are rare vascular anomalies that connect the portal and systemic venous circulations. These vascular lesions can lead to complex and varied physiologic manifestations in single-ventricle patients as they progress through the various stages of palliation in the Fontan pathway. Specifically, these connections may be unmasked after a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis operation, but then "re-masked" after Fontan completion.
