This study evaluates the effects of pulmonary vasodilator therapy on pulmonary capillary blood flow by measuring the functional capillary surface area (FCSA) at baseline and post nitric oxide inhalation, through the injection of 3H-benzoyl-Phe-Ala-Pro (BPAP). FCSA will be related to flow and other hemodynamic parameters in order to determine if there is capillary recruitment or distention in Fontan patients. We will also compare baseline FCSA measurements with previously studied normal subjects, to assess the difference in hemodynamic pulmonary functional parameters between these single ventricle physiology patients and normal subjects.

Inclusion Criteria:
Fontan failures will be defined as patients with single ventricle physiology and TCPC with clinical signs of dysfunction defined as any of the following:
1. Clinical or paraclinical evidence of liver congestion and/or fibrosis
a. Evidence in ultrasound or other imaging techniques of liver congestion and/or changes related to cardiac cirrhosis.
b. Fibroscan with grade 2 or + 2. Paraclinical signs of portal hypertension defined as 2 or more:
Exclusion Criteria:
Presence of fenestration - the shunts include veno-veno collaterals
Significant anemia defined as Hgb < 120 mg/dl
Pregnancy at the moment of the procedure.
Taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.
Usage of nitrates, phosphodiesterase inhibitors or calcium blockers within 3 months of the study.
