Abstract:
The hemodynamic profile of the Fontan circulation presents challenges that raise questions about candidacy for organ transplantation. We report a case of a 24-year-old male with double-inlet right ventricle and aortic atresia, who suffered bilateral renal cortical necrosis due to neonatal cardiovascular shock, received a live-donor kidney transplant from his mother at age 17, and has diminished yet stable renal function seven years posttransplant.
