Fontan procedure

Assess ventricular diastolic diameter and contraction
Detect and quantify any left atrioventricular valve regurgitation
Record pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and hepatic vein spectral signal
Image Fontan circuit to detect any thrombus
Image and colour Doppler of Fontan circuit to detect any area of obstruction
Image and colour Doppler for a residual intra-atrial leak
Transoesophageal imaging greatly improves quality of studies
