It describes the anatomy and epidemiology of the univentricular heart, while guidance is provided on how to manage both fetal and neonatal patients with this defect, as well as those in later childhood and adulthood. The utilization of the Fontan operation for patients with a univentricular heart is described in detail. Management of early and late Fontan failure is also discussed, and the pregnant patient is also described, enabling the reader to develop a deep understanding of how to manage these patients in their daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniventricular Congenital Heart Defects: Practical Manual for Patient Management \u003c\/i\u003ecomprehensively reviews the management of univentricular heart defects and the use of Fontan-type surgery. It is a valuable resource for the experienced practitioner seeking a manual on the latest available techniques and for trainees who want to develop a thorough understanding of how to manage patients with these congenital heart defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Univentricular Heart: past, present and future.- \u003cb\u003ePart I Anatomy \u0026amp; epidemiology of the functionally univentricular heart.\u003c\/b\u003e- The anatomical substrates of the univentricular heart.- Epidemiology of univentricular hearts.- \u003cb\u003ePart II Management of the fetus and neonate with a univentricular heart.\u003c\/b\u003e- Prenatal Diagnosis of the functionally univentricular heart.- Postnatal management and pre-operative assessment of the univentricular patient.- Imaging to aid decision making in the neonate.- Univentricular Heart: Decision Making in the Management of the Neonate.- Catheter Interventions in the Initial Palliation of Univentricular Hearts.- Comfort Care in Patients with a Single Ventricle.- \u003cb\u003ePart III Surgical management.\u003c\/b\u003e- History of the Fontan surgical procedure.- Early modifications of Fontan surgery and evolution of the total cavo-pulmonary connection (TCPC).- Staged approach to total cavo-pulmonary connection.- Classical Norwood Stage I and Modifications.- Hybrid strategies for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and comprehensive stage II repair.- \u003cb\u003ePart IV The Fontan physiology\u003c\/b\u003e.- Determinants of cardiac output and exercise tolerance in the Fontan circulation.- \u003cb\u003ePart V Follow up in childhood of Fontan patients.\u003c\/b\u003e- Neuro-developmental outcomes of Fontan patients.- Follow-up in childhood of Fontan patients – Quality of life.- Anticoagulation strategies in the single ventricle.- Electrophysiology Considerations after the Fontan Operation.- Managing the pulmonary circulation.- Fontan Failure in Children and Cardiac Transplantation.- \u003cb\u003ePart VI Transition, education and lifestyle.- \u003c\/b\u003eTransition to adult life.- \u003cb\u003ePart VII Follow up in adult life.\u003c\/b\u003e- Considerations when Developing a Multidisciplinary Adult Fontan Clinic.- Echocardiography and adult Fontan patient.- Cardiac MRI imaging in the Fontan patient.- CT in patients with univentricular hearts and a Fontan circulation.- Physiological testing and basics of cardiac catheterisation in Fontan patients.- Fontan Patients: Psychological Support in Adult Life.- Pregnancy with an univentricular heart.- Factors impacting on the late outcome of the Fontan circulation.- \u003cb\u003ePart VIII A multi-system disorder.\u003c\/b\u003e- Electrophysiology considerations and management of arrhythmias after the Fontan Operation.- A multi-system disorder: Extracardiac complications.- \u003cb\u003ePart IX The Failing Adult Fontan patient.\u003c\/b\u003e- The failing adult Fontan patient.- Catheter-Based Interventions in Adult Life for the Failing Adult Fontan Patient .- Surgical Interventions in Adult Fontan and Transplantation.- Palliative care strategies in adult patients.- Role of Mechanical Support for Failing Single Ventricle.- Pathological aspects of post- Fontan procedures.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516341838167,"sku":"9783031362071","price":107.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/univentricular-congenital-heart-defects-and-the-fontan-circulation-practical-manual-for-patient-management-9783031362071","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
