Biventricular Repair of Univentricular Heart Lowers Risk of Liver Disease Compared With the Fontan Operation

Background: The Fontan operation is associated with chronic venous hypertension, liver and renal disease, and several other sequelae. The alterative surgical approach, when feasible, a biventricular conversion (BiV), may diminish some of these long-term risks. Objectives: The aim of this study was t...
