Özet

Fontan operation and its modifications are used for the physiological correction of complex congenital heart malformations with functionally single ventricle. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a physiological diuretic and vasodilator that-together with the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass-plays an important role in the augmentation of capillary permeability in Fontan patients. The rise in right atrial pressure and wall stress is an important stimulus for the release of ANP.
