Conference on Fontan-associated liver disease

Fontan-type surgery is the final step in the palliative surgical treatment of infants born with a single heart ventricle. It carries long-term haemodynamic changes resulting in liver damage, leading to Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD). It is estimated that 1/10.000 children are born with this condition expecting that more than 70 million people worldwide will be affected in 2023. It translates into a real challenge for patients and physicians, often leading to a multidisciplinary approach in highly specialized healthcare institutions.
