Is routine cardiac catheterization necessary in the management of patients with single ventricles across staged Fontan reconstruction? No!

abstract：:Although the Fontan operation can improve outcomes, surviving patients still face Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD). The aim of this study was to determine the associated factors of FALD in relation to ultrasound liver elastography. A cross-sectional study was conducted for all patients on whom an ultrasound uppe...
