Pregnancy in the FONTAN palliation: physiology, management and new insights from bioengineering
Abstract Fontan palliation for the single ventricle results in a challenging and delicate physiological state. At rest, the body adapts to a low cardiac output and high systemic venous pressure. However, when physiological demands increase, such as in the case of exercise or pregnancy, this delicate...
