A case report of midodrine to treat protein-losing enteropathy for heart transplant candidacy
The development of PLE in patients with Fontan circulations is an indication for cardiac transplantation, but there are often significant barriers due to the many complications. We performed a comprehensive Medline search, and this is the first case demonstrating the use of midodrine to bridge a frail patient with PLE and advanced Fontan heart failure to heart transplantation candidacy and eventual transplant.
