Venous congestion and pulmonary vascular function in Fontan circulation: Implications for prognosis and treatment

Systemic venous congestion, which is the primary factor in the pathogenesis of FAD and death, is related to even low-level abnormalities in pulmonary vascular function. Multicenter studies are needed to determine whether interventions targeting pulmonary vascular structure and function can improve outcomes in the Fontan population.
