Prognostic Value of Liver and Spleen Stiffness in Patients with Fontan Associated Liver Disease (FALD): A Case Series with Histopathologic Comparison

Prognostic Value of Liver and Spleen Stiffness in Patients with Fontan Associated Liver Disease (FALD): A Case Series with Histopathologic Comparison

The Fontan operation is the current surgical procedure to treat single-ventricle congenital heart disease, by splitting the systemic and pulmonary circulations and thus permitting lifespan to adulthood for the majority of newborns. However, emerging data are showing that Fontan-associated liver dise...
