Cardiac Catheterization

ACC/AHA Guidelines - Recommendation for Catheterization before Fontan Procedure (DO NOT EDIT)

Class I

"1.In the evaluation of hemodynamics to assess the potential for definitive palliation of unoperated or shunt-palliated adults with univentricular hearts, catheterization is indicated to:

"a.Assess the nature of pulmonary artery obstruction, with potential to restore maximal continuous, effective, unimpeded systemic venous flow to the maximal number of pulmonary artery segments.(Level of Evidence: C) "

"b.Assess and eliminate systemic-to-pulmonary vein collaterals.(Level of Evidence: C) "

"c.Assess and eliminate systemic-to-pulmonary artery connections.(Level of Evidence: C) "

"d.For adults with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, the potential for perioperative transcatheter shunt exclusion should be examined.(Level of Evidence: C) "

ACC/AHA Guidelines - Recommendation for Diagnostic and Interventional Catheterization after Fontan Procedure (DO NOT EDIT)

Class I

"1.Catheterization of adults with a Fontan type of repair of single-ventricle physiology should be performed in regional centers with expertise in ACHD.(Level of Evidence: C) "
