Reliability of transient elastography as a noninvasive method for estimating central venous pressure in adult patients after a Fontan procedure

Reliability of transient elastography as a noninvasive method for estimating central venous pressure in adult patients after a Fontan procedure

Background: In adult patients, after a Fontan procedure, high central venous pressure (CVP) is a hemodynamic risk factor associated with poor prognosis. High liver stiffness (LS) on transient elastography (TE) is associated with high CVP in patients with heart failure without liver disease. Here, we...
