N-terminal Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide as a Predictive Risk Factor in Fontan Operation

Gi Young Jang, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Woo Sup Shim

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1362-1369. Published online December 15, 2005

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the plasma level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP) and several known risk factors influencing outcomes after Fontan operations, and to assess whether pro-BNP levels can be used as predictive risk factors in Fontan operations. Methods : Plasma pro-BNP concentrations were measured in 35 patients with complex cardiac anomalies before catheterization....
