Management strategies for primary lung adenocarcinoma in a Fontan patient must account for unique vascular and physiological challenges post-surgery.
This case report highlights the unique considerations required when applying standard oncologic approaches to patients with Fontan physiology.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Abstract Primary pulmonary malignancies in single-ventricle patients are rare. Improved survival following surgical palliation has resulted in a growing Fontan population whose malignancy risk remains undefined. Standard oncologic approaches, especially for adenocarcinoma of the lung, need to be considered within the context of Fontan physiology. We present our management of primary lung adenocarcinoma in an adult with tricuspid atresia status postlateral tunnel Fontan palliation, highlighting considerations for this unique scenario.
