1. Overview

The UPMC International Fontan Symposium 2023 provides an in-depth clinical review of the medical, interventional, and surgical management of patients with Fontan circulation. The program covers lifespan considerations, including mental health, pregnancy, liver disease, mechanical circulatory support, and complex heart and liver transplant planning.

Course Date: 2023

2. Learning Objectives

• Evaluate the evolution of the Fontan-Kreutzer circulation and address its current clinical challenges.

• Implement comprehensive management strategies for post-Fontan patients, addressing mental health, pregnancy, and Fontan-associated liver disease.

• Assess advanced imaging, electrophysiology, and catheterization techniques for optimizing Fontan circulation.

• Determine appropriate indications and optimal timing for mechanical circulatory support, ventricular assist devices, and organ transplantation.

• Analyze novel surgical alternatives, future structural heart interventions, and post-transplant CICU management strategies.

3. Target Audience

Best for pediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and intensive care specialists who want updates on Fontan circulation management.
