Abstract

Objectives: Few risk factors for the development of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and plastic bronchitis (PB) after Fontan operation have been identified, and there is a paucity of evidence for their pathogenetic mechanisms. In this retrospective study we analyzed baseline and specific hemodynamic characteristics of abdominal arteries in patients yet to develop PLE or PB to identify prognostic parameters for these complications.
