Brief summary

This is a single center, open-label, prospective, investigation to quantify the effects liver congestion and fibrosis has on hepatic drug metabolism and transport in children, adolescents, and young adults with Fontan circulation.

Interventions

DRUGSildenafil 10mg oral tablet (participants <20kg), or 20mg oral tablet (participants ≥20kg)

A single oral dose of sildenafil will be administered to all study subjects.

DRUGPravastatin 20 mg oral tablet (ages <13 years), or 40 mg oral tablet (≥14 years)

A single oral dose of pravastatin will be administered to all study subjects.
