Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is situated in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds.

The Fontan Procedure is generally the final stage of a staged surgical pathway for patients with single-ventricle heart defects. It redirects blood from the superior and inferior vena cava directly into the pulmonary arteries, reducing the workload on the functional ventricle and improving circulatory efficiency. Before surgery, the cardiac team evaluates ventricular function, pulmonary artery anatomy, heart rhythm, oxygen levels, and other factors that may influence suitability for Fontan circulation.
