Individuals with Fontan physiology have a high prevalence of hepatic fibrosis. Signs and symptoms of liver disease did not predict histopathologic findings. Few risk factors for advanced disease were identified. Histopathology findings did not predict transplant-free survival. The role of liver biopsy in this population remains uncertain.
