Severe COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome in an adult with single-ventricle physiology: a case report

Abstract Background COVID-19 can induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In patients with congenital heart disease, established treatment strategies are often limited due to their unique cardiovascular anatomy and passive pulmonary perfusion. Case presentation We report the first case of...
