When a person only has one functioning cardiac ventricle, a Fontan operation can help with circulation. This issue arises from one of several congenital heart disorders (heart disorders present from birth).
Through the Fontan surgery, blood with low oxygen content from the lower body can receive oxygen directly from your heart and travel straight to your pulmonary artery and lungs. This treatment typically comes after another one called the Glenn procedure, which is used to transfer blood with low oxygen content from your upper body to your lungs and pulmonary artery.

Fontan procedure is a surgery for individuals born with only one functioning heart ventricle. Following the surgery, the pulmonary artery is the only blood vessel that receives oxygen-poor blood from the body, bypassing the heart chambers. Most patients live for 30 years or more following the surgery.
Children aged 2 to 15 (generally between 3 and 5) with a single ventricle condition may need a Fontan procedure. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. A healthcare provider will determine if your child is a good candidate by ensuring their working ventricle is strong enough to pump effectively and their lungs are healthy enough to handle passive blood flow.
