Sažetak
Between 1974 and 1994 , 175 pts underwent modified Fontan op.FO, at a mean age of 8.5 y at DHM. In 24 pts, Ple wwas diagnosed on the basis of chronically low total serum protein TP levels with edema, effusions, ascites and diarrhoea and elevated mean RAP 15 mmHg. 11pts. with PLE died. In 8 pts high molecular wight heparin HMWH terapy with 5000-6000U m2 s.c. once a day was begun after a mean period of PLE of 5 y. Response to heparin therapy can be expected after 1 mo and seems to be independent of PLE duration. The preliminary experience does not allow judgement on therapy duration and minimal effective heparin dose.
