European heart journal. Case reports, Volume 6, Issue 2, 16 3 2022, Pages ytac067 Case report of the broad spectrum of late complications in an adult patient with univentricular physiology palliated by the Fontan circulation. Nederend M, Egorova AD, Vliegen HW, Roest AAW, Ruijter BN, Korteweg T, Ninaber MK, Zeppenfeld K, Hazekamp MG, Kiès P, Jongbloed MRM
Background: At the most severe end of the spectrum of congenital heart disease are patients with an univentricular physiology. They comprise a heterogeneous group of congenital heart malformations that have the common characteristic that the cardiac morphology is not equipped for sustaining a biventricular circulation. Case summary: Here, we present a case of an adult patient after Fontan palliation, illustrative of the complex clinical course and the broad spectrum of complications that can be... Abstract

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 23, Issue 3, 1 1 2022, Pages 412-422 The Leiden Convention coronary coding system: translation from the surgical to the universal view. Koppel CJ, Vliegen HW, Bökenkamp R, Ten Harkel ADJ, Kiès P, Egorova AD, Jukema JW, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Jongbloed MRM
Aims: The Leiden Convention coronary coding system structures the large variety of coronary anatomical patterns; isolated and in congenital heart disease. It is widely used by surgeons but not by cardiologists as the system uses a surgeons' cranial view. Since thoracic surgeons and cardiologists work closely together, a coronary coding system practical for both disciplines is mandatory. To this purpose, the 'surgical' coronary coding system was adapted to an 'imaging' sy... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 163, 10 2 2021, Pages 98-103 3-Month Enalapril Treatment in Pediatric Fontan Patients With Moderate to Good Systolic Ventricular Function. Harteveld LM, Blom NA, Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Kuipers IM, Rammeloo LAJ, Hazekamp MG, van Dijk JG, Ten Harkel ADJ
Many Fontan patients with and without systolic ventricular dysfunction are being treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, despite its effectiveness remaining unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the short-term effect of enalapril on exercise capacity, vascular and ventricular function in pediatric Fontan patients with moderate-good systolic ventricular function. Fontan patients between 8 and 18 years with moderate-good systolic ventricular function and without previous... Abstract

Aims: To study flow-related energetics in multiple anatomical segments of the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) in Fontan patients from four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to study the relationship between adverse flow patterns and segment-specific energetics. Methods and results: Twenty-six extracardiac Fontan patients underwent 4D flow MRI of the TCPC. A segmentation of the TCPC was automatically divided into five anatomical segments [conduit, superior vena cav... Abstract

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and functionally univentricular heart defects represent the most severe end of this spectrum. The Fontan circulation provides an unique solution for single ventricle patients, by connecting both caval veins directly to the pulmonary arteries. As a result, the pulmonary circulation in Fontan palliated patients is characterized by a passive, low-energy circulation that depends on increased systemic venous pressure to drive blood toward the l...

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 154, 4 1 2021, Pages 92-98 Prognostic Value of Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Performance in Fontan Patients < 15 Years of Age. Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Harteveld LM, Kuipers IM, Rammeloo L, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ
In patients after Fontan completion exercise capacity is significantly reduced. Although peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is a strong prognostic factor in many cardiovascular diseases, it requires the achievement of a maximal effort. Therefore, submaximal exercise parameters such as oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) may be of value. In the present observational study we evaluated the exercise capacity with maximal and submaximal parameters in a group of Fontan patients with an extracardiac... Abstract

Meijer FMM, Kiès P, Verheijen DBH, Vliegen HW, Jongbloed MRM, Hazekamp MG, Lamb HJ, Egorova AD
Introduction: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) from the opposite sinus of Valsalva is a rare congenital abnormality. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is primarily used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the anatomy and identify potentially malignant AAOCA variants. Limited data is available on the role of CTA during postoperative follow-up. We aimed to develop an objective CTA derived parameter for diagnostic evaluation and follow-up after surgical correction of AAOCA and... Abstract

Traumatic avulsion of the right main bronchus in children is usually caused by blunt trauma or traffic accidents. Primary repair by suturing is the preferred treatment. Lesions are life threatening and urgent or emergency surgical repair is indicated. We report our experience with 2 cases of traumatic avulsion of right bronchus in children successfully suture repaired with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Abstract

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, Volume 18, Issue 177, 7 1 2021, Pages 20201027 Non-uniform mixing of hepatic venous flow and inferior vena cava flow in the Fontan conduit. Rijnberg FM, van der Woude SFS, van Assen HC, Juffermans JF, Hazekamp MG, Jongbloed MRM, Kenjeres S, Lamb HJ, Westenberg JJM, Wentzel JJ, Roest AAW
Fontan patients require a balanced hepatic blood flow distribution (HFD) to prevent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Currently, HFD is quantified by tracking Fontan conduit flow, assuming hepatic venous (HV) flow to be uniformly distributed within the Fontan conduit. However, this assumption may be unvalid leading to inaccuracies in HFD quantification with potential clinical impact. The aim of this study was to (i) assess the mixing of HV flow and inferior vena caval (IVC) flow within the... Abstract
