Prevalence and predictors of haemostatic complications in 412 Fontan patients: their relation to anticoagulation and haemodynamics

Abstract

Anticoagulant regimens in Fontan patients varied widely with a significant trend for warfarin use in patients with impaired haemodynamics. Low arterial oxygenation may predict haemostatic events. The relatively high prevalence of haemorrhagic complications indicates the need for individualized anticoagulant administration throughout the follow-up.
