Exercise rehab for Fontan failure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program (cardiac rehabilitation) can help people who have had a Fontan procedure and are now experiencing heart failure symptoms. It aims to improve your strength, stamina, and overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a Fontan operation (a heart surgery for a single pumping chamber).
- You have at least one of these: weak heart pumping, protein loss in the gut, plastic bronchitis, long-term use of water pills, or low exercise capacity.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not dependent on IV heart medications.

This study looks at whether placing a stent in the Fontan blood vessel can improve liver health and exercise ability in teenagers and young adults. If you are between 12 and 21 years old and need a stent in your Fontan pathway, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve quality of life and physical function for people with a stiff heart type of heart failure (HFpEF). The program focuses on safe, structured exercise tailored to your needs.
This trial tests a special exercise program for people over 65 who were recently hospitalized for heart failure and are now stable. It aims to see if a heart rehab plan tailored to your needs helps you recover and feel better.
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
