Outcomes of fenestration versus none in extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection
The study found no major differences in immediate postoperative outcomes. In the fenestrated cohort, significantly lower incidences of protein-losing enteropathy, liver mass, cirrhosis, and long-term mortality were observed. However, multilevel model stratified by propensity score analysis indicated that only the lower long-term mortality demonstrated a major effect.
