The Challenge
What is the Fontan Circulation?
Some children are born with only one functioning heart ventricle instead of two. The Fontan procedure, developed in 1971, reroutes blood flow to bypass the missing ventricle.
While this surgery saves lives, it creates a circulation without a pump driving blood through the lungs. Over time, this passive flow leads to complications affecting the liver, gut, and overall quality of life. As the circulation gradually fails, patients face heart transplantation or ventricular assist devices adapted from other indications, with no device purpose-built for the unique physiology of the Fontan circulation.
