• 2020 ESC Guidelines for the management of adult congenital heart disease (2021, background): “Important haemodynamic issues contributing to late Fontan failure include a progressive decline in systemic ventricular function, AV valve regurgitation, a rise in PVR, atrial enlargement, pulmonary venous obstruction, progressively restrictive subaortic VSD, and the consequences of chronic systemic”
• Increased central venous pressure is associated with impaired renal function and mortality in a broad spectrum of patients with cardiovascular disease. (2009, background): “In other selected patients populations, such as patients who underwent fontan surgery or lung transplantation, higher central venous pressures were strong predictors of outcome [37,38].”
