What this could lead to
If it works, compression garments could become a simple, non-drug way to improve exercise capacity and quality of life for people with Fontan circulation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (20 people) testing a short-term effect. It may not show a meaningful benefit, and results may not apply to all Fontan patients.
