Decisions Using Intra‐Operative Gross Assessment of Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease: Implications for Heart‐Only Transplantation

However, a prolonged recovery period should be anticipated, with serial post-HT liver assessments and vigilant monitoring for rejection. The long-term liver prognosis remains uncertain.
