The impact of altitude on early outcome following the Fontan operation
BACKGROUND: The success of a Fontan circulation depends on several factors including low pulmonary vascular resistance. Pulmonary vascular resistance rises in response to hypoxia. Hypoxia is associated with altitude. Therefore, we wondered whether altitude is a risk factor for early failure after th...
