BACKGROUND: As patients with a single-ventricle physiology age, long-term complications inherent to this population become more evident. Previous studies have focused on correlating anatomic and hemodynamic performance, but there is little information of how these variables change with time. Vessel growth and flow rate changes were quantified using cardiac magnetic resonance and their effects on hemodynamics were assessed, which could affect the long-term outcome.
METHODS: Forty-eight patients with a lateral tunnel or extracardiac conduit Fontan who underwent two cardiac magnetic resonance scans (average interval, 5.1 ± 2.3 years) were studied. Total cavopulmonary connection anatomic and flow variables were reconstructed and normalized to body surface area(1/2). Total cavopulmonary connection hemodynamic efficiency (indexed power loss) was obtained through computational fluid dynamic modeling.
RESULTS: Absolute vessel diameters increased with time, normalized diameters decreased, and vessel mean flow rates remained unchanged. Indexed power loss changed significantly in the cohort, as well as in patients in whom the minimum normalized left pulmonary artery decreased. Age at first scan and connection type (lateral tunnel or extracardiac conduit) were not associated with changes in indexed power loss.
CONCLUSIONS: We present the largest serial cardiac magnetic resonance Fontan cohort to date. Although flow rates increased proportionally to body surface area, vessel diameters did not match somatic growth. As a result, energy losses increased significantly with time in the cohort analyzed.
