“…Finally, 31 studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria for our analysis, including eight studies using both GRE and SE‐EPI sequences, 22 studies using only a GRE sequence, , , , , , , , and one study using only an SE‐EPI sequence . As one study using both GRE and SE‐EPI sequences potentially overlapped with a population in another GRE sequence outcome study, we did not include the outcomes of this study in the evaluation of the pooled proportion of technical failure of GRE sequences, but used it only for the head‐to‐head comparison between GRE and SE‐EPI sequences.…”

“…Nonetheless, as people tend to focus more on successful results rather than technical failure when presenting the results of studies, the failure rates of MRE have not been reported well. A limited number of studies have reported on the technical failure rate of MRE, and fewer studies have made comparisons regarding the failure rates between these two sequences. The results from the studies are also limited by their small sample sizes and the resulting low levels of evidence.…”

“…However, these measurements likely overestimate the degree of liver fibrosis caused by hepatic congestion. [137][138][139] Thus, there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine elastography for surveillance of liver disease in the management of patients with CHD.…”

“…Progressive hepatic cirrhosis is a risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic failure, and hepatic encephalopathy, and may be a contraindication to heart transplantation [22][23][24][25]. In a small series of asymptomatic patients a mean of 16 years post-Fontan, a liver biopsy was performed during cardiac catheterization and hepatic fibrosis was present in 18/21 (85%) patients.…”

“…In the symptomatic patient, abnormalities in the transaminases and platelet count may be present, but are not sensitive predictors of the degree of fibrosis [27]. The quantification of liver stiffness by transient elastography, supersonic shear imaging, or magnetic resonance (MR) elastography as a measure of the degree of fibrosis holds some promise, but these techniques have not been widely adopted as screening tools [23,[28][29][30][31].…”
