"PLE: Fuster & Hurst notes complications arise 10–15 years after Fontan surgery. PLE = serum albumin <3.5 g/dL + 24-hr stool alpha-1-antitrypsin >150 mg. Mechanism: elevated CVP transmits back through the mesenteric venous system → intestinal lymphatic congestion → protein leak into gut lumen. Heparin mechanism: restores glycocalyx heparan sulfate on gut epithelium. Mackie AS et al (Can J Cardiol 2022, PMID 35314335) reviewed evolving therapies for PLE and plastic bronchitis including lymphatic intervention as emerging treatment. Plastic bronchitis: CHOP thoracic duct embolisation series showed dramatic responses. tPA nebulization is off-label but increasingly used."

The key teaching point: the same saturation target (75–85%) applies in Stage 1 and 2, but the REASON differs. In Stage 1: deliberate targeting to prevent pulmonary overcirculation. In Stage 2: just the natural result of SVC-only pulmonary supply. After Fontan completion, SpO₂ should be >90%. Any drop below 90% in a Fontan patient = investigate immediately."
