Fontan Physiology

Protein-losing enteropathy and plastic bronchitis remain challenging to treat despite recent treatment advances. Protein-losing enteropathy and plastic bronchitis have been diagnosed in patients with cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, and congestive heart failure. This article focuses on patients with protein-losing enteropathy or plastic bronchitis following the Fontan procedure. Patients with single-ventricle physiology who have undergone the Fontan procedure are at risk for these conditions. Fontan physiology predisposes patients to chronically low cardiac output, increased central venous pressure, and congestive heart failure. These altered hemodynamics lead to increased mesenteric vascular resistance, resulting in venous hypertension and congestion in protein-losing enteropathy. Plastic bronchitis is a complex disease in which chronic high lymphatic pressures from Fontan physiology cause acellular bronchial casts to develop. These entities may also occur in patients with normal Fontan hemodynamics. This article also covers medical and surgical interventions for protein-losing enteropathy and plastic bronchitis.

Failing Fontan

Abstract: The Fontan operation was introduced in 1968. For congenital malformations where biventricular repair is not suitable, the Fontan procedure has provided a long-term palliation strategy with improved outcome compared to the initially developed procedures. Despite these improvements, several complications merely as a result of a failing Fontan circulation (including myocardial dysfunction, arrhythmias, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, protein losing enteropathy, hepatic dysfunction, plastic bronchitis and thrombo-embolism) will limit life-expectancy in this patient cohort. This review provides an overview of the most common complications of the Fontan circulation and the currently available treatment options.
