Abstract:
In Fontan circulatory failure, heart or combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) is considered a final therapeutic option. Fontan patients present unique challenges for the cardiac and liver transplant teams. Improving outcomes of CHLT in Fontan patients requires a multidisciplinary team approach to patient selection, meticulous surgical planning, intraoperative and postoperative management, and continuous learning.
