Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of Blood Flow Distribution in Fenestrated and Completed Fontan Circulation with Special Emphasis on Abdominal Blood Flow.

CONCLUSION: Fontan circulation is associated with reduced abdominal flow, which can be attributed to reduced cardiac output and portal venous return in completed Fontan circulation, and diversion of the cardiac output to the aortopulmonary collaterals in fenestrated Fontan circulation.
