Abstract
Fontan pathway vessel diameter changes over time were not proportional to somatic growth but increases in pathway flows were; LT pathway diameter changes were highly variable. These factors may impact Fontan pathway resistance and hemodynamic efficiency. These findings provide further understanding of the different characteristics of LT and EC Fontan connections and set the stage for further investigation.
