The Fontan Procedure is a major palliative heart surgery used for children and selected adults with complex congenital heart defects in which only one ventricle is capable of adequately supporting circulation. During the procedure, blood returning from the body is directed toward the pulmonary arteries without passing through a functional pumping chamber. This helps separate systemic and pulmonary blood flow and improves oxygenation in patients with single-ventricle physiology.
