Heart Surgery Outcomes in Single-Ventricle Disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows children with a rare heart condition (univentricular heart) who need multiple surgeries, including a procedure called Fontan. Researchers want to understand how different blood-flow patterns after surgery affect long-term health and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with cyanotic congenital heart disease (a heart condition present from birth that causes low oxygen)
- Have univentricular heart physiology (born with one working heart chamber instead of two)
- Planning to undergo staged surgical procedures leading to the Fontan operation
- Able to provide informed consent (patient if age-appropriate, or parent/guardian)
- Willing to complete follow-up visits and provide clinical data over time
- No plans to refuse participation or withdraw from the study

This study follows people with a single-ventricle (univentricular) heart defect who need a multi-step treatment leading to the Fontan procedure. It aims to better understand how this staged care should be delivered and monitored over time.
This study is for people born with a single-ventricle heart condition who now live with a Fontan circulation. It mainly focuses on having a dedicated clinic visit (“Fontan clinic session”) and checking how that care works for you.
This study compares how children who had heart surgery (to fix a non-blue-baby heart problem) develop compared to healthy children the same age. Researchers want to understand how well children recover after their surgery.
This trial tests whether an infusion of heart stem/progenitor cells can improve outcomes for children with a single working heart chamber (single ventricle) who are scheduled for the next surgical stage (Glenn or Fontan). It may help the heart function after surgery, but participation depends on several heart, lung, brain, and overall health safety criteria.
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
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.
