Lung cancer has become the leading cause of death from malignant tumors worldwide. At the same time, statistics show that the incidence and mortality of lung cancer are increasing year by year. Because patients with lung cancer do not have typical symptoms in the early stage, this directly leads to the majority of patients who are already at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and the prognosis is not good. How to diagnose lung cancer early and accurately and find patients with potential risks and predict the prognosis is of great significance for the formulation of further treatment plans. In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has been booming. As a branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning could learn efficiently from complex and large amounts of data. Besides, the learned model has good generalization ability. These characteristics can take greatly advance on the research about lung cancer

To analyze the outcomes of early Fontan failure after Fontan takedown. Methods A retrospective study of early Fontan Failure(EFF) children undergoing Fontan takedown from November 2013 to December 2017 was performed. Fontan takedown was defined as takedown back to an intermediate circulation, superior cavopulmonary connection. Fontan takedown was performed in 14 patients. There were 9 boys and 5 girls. Children were on average aged(4. 3 ± 1. 4) years when they had Fontan procedure. The mean weight was(14. 3 ±2. 7)kg. Operative procedure was extra-cardiac Fontan in 5 children, 9 had intra-cardiac Fontan. Fenestration was used in 11/14 patients. The outcomes were summarized with statistics, and risk factors for mortality after Fontan takedown were identified. Results The mortality after Fontan takedown was 4/ 14(28. 6%). In two patients(14. 3%), ECMO was followed after takedown, one of them died after two days. The time of ICU stay and hospital stay was relatively long(17. 0 ±11. 2)days and(33. 8 ±19. 4)days. The interval time between the Fontan procedure and the takedown operation is the risk fact after Fontan takedown. Conclusion Fontan takedown can be used as an effective management for the early Fontan failure, still with a high risk of mortality. Early diagnosis and takedown is recommended for EFF.
