Surgical repair for children born with single-ventricle congenital heart disease, culminating
in the Fontan operation, has resulted in dramatic improvements in survival; children born …

In this manuscript, we describe the design and rationale of a randomized controlled trial in
pediatric Fontan patients to test the hypothesis that a live-video-supervised exercise …

The Fontan circulation lacks a subpulmonary ventricle and relies on non-cardiac forces for
pulmonary blood flow to provide preload to the systemic ventricle, resulting in low cardiac …

Children born with univentricular hearts undergo staged surgical procedures to a Fontan
circulation. Long‐term experience with Fontan palliation has shown dramatically improved …

Despite traditional concerns about moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, current evidence
suggests that exercise is beneficial for the Fontan circulation and that, after appropriate …

Background The Fontan procedure, the last of a series of operations performed in patients
with congenital heart defects, offers improved exercise capacity compared to baseline …

Abstract Background Patients with a Fontan circulation have a reduced exercise capacity,
which is an important prognostic predictor of morbidity and mortality. A way to increase …

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed clinical condition at midterm follow-up after total
cavopulmonary connection for a functionally univentricular heart performed on children …

It is well documented that children with a Fontan circulation have a reduced exercise
capacity. One of the modalities to improve exercise capacity might be exercise training. We …

The Fontan circulation, a surgical palliation for single-ventricle congenital heart disease,
profoundly impacts the cardiopulmonary response to exercise. Reliant on passive …
