    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2011; 6(4):370-3. PubMed ID: 21392262.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of an adult who developed protein-losing enteropathy 21 years after having undergone a Fontan procedure. Investigations revealed iron deficiency anemia which was treated with intravenous iron sucrose leading to resolution of both the anemia as well as symptoms of protein-losing enteropathy.
