This week we explore the world of cardiac transplantation with particular emphasis on the Fontan patient and transplantation. Outcomes are improving rapidly. Why is this? What about the liver and how are decisions made regarding cardiac versus cardiac+hepatic transplantation in this patient population? We review all of these questions with world authority on cardiac transplantation Dr. Daphne Hsu, Professor of Pediatrics, Chief of Pediatric Cardiology and Interim Chair of Pediatrics at Montefiore - Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her insights into this complex patient group are valuable and novel. Article reviewed: DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2016.08.110
