Assessment of Late Thromboembolic Complications Post-Fontan Procedure in Relation to Different Antithrombotic Regimens: 30-Years' Follow-up Experience.

Conclusion and Relevance: The incidence rate of late clinical TECs post-Fontan procedure in our population is low. Warfarin was not superior to aspirin for prevention of late TECs. Yet warfarin was associated with a higher rate of bleeding. This finding suggests a simpler antithrombotic regimen for prevention of TEC after 1-year post-Fontan procedure.
