We studied a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl with bronchitis fibroplastica following Fontan operation. Large endobronchial casts of rubber-like consistency resulted in life-threatening pulmonary failure. In one patient symptoms improved after optimizing heart function with diuretics, and in the other a dramatic improvement with the resolution of the clinical symptoms and normalized serum albumin followed subcutaneous high-molecular-weight heparin treatment. The severe relapse after discontinuation of the heparin medication and the once more successful treatment with heparin suggest that in addition to optimizing heart function, high-molecular-weight heparin might be a therapeutic option for this poorly understood condition.
