Thoracic lymphatic anomalies in patients with univentricular hearts: correlation of morphologic findings in isotropic T2-weighted MRI with the outcome after fontan palliation

Thoracic lymphatic anomalies in patients with univentricular hearts: correlation of morphologic findings in isotropic T2-weighted MRI with the outcome after fontan palliation

ObjectivesIn this study we examined the correlation between the extent of thoracic lymphatic anomalies in patients after surgical palliation by total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and their outcome in terms of clinical and laboratory parameters.Materials and methodsWe prospectively examined 33 pat...
