  • Title: Gastrointestinal haemorrhage due to lymphangiectasia caused by protein-losing enteropathy in the Fontan circulation.
    Author: Gras P, Gottrand F, Godart F.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2017 Oct; 27(8):1641-1643. PubMed ID: 28651669.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with severe protein-losing enteropathy after Fontan surgery that led to lymphangiectasia, which caused gastrointestinal haemorrhage and required invasive treatment to stop the bleeding. Through this case and a review of the literature on protein-losing enteropathy after Fontan surgery, we highlight a rare and serious presentation of the disease and the difficulties of diagnosis and management.
