About

This week we turn back the clocks to re-review a recent research letter from the team at the Harvard Congenital Heart Program about venous insufficiency in the Fontan patient. Why do patients with Fontan circulation develop chronic venous insufficiency and what are the implications of this problem in the Fontan patient? What sort of evaluation should be performed on the Fontan patient presenting with lower extremity venous changes? How worried should the cardiologist be when presented with a Fontan patient with these changes? These are amongst the questions reviewed on this topic with this week's guest, Associate Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Tony Pastor.JACC Adv 2022 Mar, 1 (1) 100002
