Fontan surgery study: does lung blood flow type matter for kids with one heart chamber?
NCT ID NCT07535203
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 52 children with cyanotic congenital heart disease and a single working heart chamber (univentricular heart) who undergo a series of surgeries ending with the Fontan procedure. Researchers will compare outcomes like survival, complications, and quality of life between two groups: those with too little blood flow to the lungs (pulmonary oligemia) and those with too much (pulmonary plethora). The goal is to understand how these differences affect recovery and long-term health after Fontan surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better predict which children with univentricular heart will have better or worse outcomes after Fontan surgery, leading to more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment. It only looks at existing differences in lung blood flow, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The small size (52 people) and single-center design may limit how widely the results apply.
