Abstract
Fontan surgery is vital for infants born with a single-ventricle heart. This intervention establishes a new blood flow circuit bypassing the single ventricle, thereby the separating pulmonary and systemic circulation to preserve single ventricular function. However, it carries risks of hepatic complications, collectively termed Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), characterized by progressive hepatic congestion and fibrosis potentially leading to an equivalent of cirrhosis. Diagnosis and staging of FALD are complex, requiring multidisciplinary management. In advanced FALD, consideration is given to heart transplantation alone or combined heart-liver transplantation, underscoring the importance of an integrated approach to optimize care for these increasingly more common patients.
