Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor is the standard of care for systolic heart failure in adults. In addition, its use in adults with failing systemic right ventricles and diastolic heart failure is promising. This study reports our experience with this drug for protein-losing enteropathy secondary to Fontan failure in pediatrics.
