Usefulness of external counterpulsation early postoperatively after the Fontan procedure in children

External counterpulsation (EC) is a noninvasive circulatory assistance technique that improves coronary blood flow and myocardial performance, augments systemic venous return, and reduces ventricular afterload. Ma et al hypothesized that EC could benefit pediatric patients who underwent the Fontan p...

Zusammenfassung:	External counterpulsation (EC) is a noninvasive circulatory assistance technique that improves coronary blood flow and myocardial performance, augments systemic venous return, and reduces ventricular afterload. Ma et al hypothesized that EC could benefit pediatric patients who underwent the Fontan procedure by improving cardiac output in the early postoperative period.
