Comparison of Echocardiographically-Calculated Fontan Fenestration Gradient and Catheter-Based Measurement

Emily Sanders,

et al.

Abstract: Background: Patients born with single ventricle physiology typically undergo surgical palliation in three stages, culminating in the Fontan procedure. Assessment of flow across a Fontan fenestration by Doppler Ultrasound theoretically allows for non-invasive estimation of the transpulmonary gradient (TPG). Our objective was to determine the relationship between Doppler-derived mean fenestration gradient (mFG) and direct catheter-based measurements of TPG in patients with fenestrated Fontans. Methods We perform… Show more
