Özet
Fontan Failure (FF) is a common problem for single-ventricle patients as they reach adulthood. Although several mechanisms may cause FF, an optimized blood flow stream through the surgical conduits is essential to avoid excessive energy loss (EL). Recent clinical studies showed EL is related to the quality of life, exercise capacity, and hepatic function since the single-ventricle feeds pulmonary and systemic circulation serially. 4D flow MRI effectively estimates EL in Fontan circulation and allows clinicians to compare the effectiveness of the treatment strategy concerning pre-intervention. Here, we present 26-year-old women with FF who had normal cardiac catheterization findings and were treated according to high EL definitions that are measured through 4D flow MRI.
