Early Experience and Lessons Learned Using Implanted Hemodynamic Monitoring in Patients With Fontan Circulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on the use of implanted hemodynamic monitoring (IHM) in patients with Fontan circulation are limited. This study reports our experience using the CardioMEMS HF system in adults with Fontan circulation.

Methods and results

This single-center, retrospective study evaluated heart failure hospitalizations, procedural complications, and device-related complications in patients with Fontan circulation referred for IHM placement (2015-2022). The association of pulmonary artery pressure (by most recent catheterization and median IHM pressure within 30 days of placement) with both death and follow-up Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Excluding International Normalized Ratio score were evaluated.
