The Fontan procedure provides a palliative treatment option for children that are diagnosed with functionally univentricular congenital heart disease. A Fontan procedure includes various techniques and ultimately results in a surgical atriopulmonary connection or total cavopulmonary connection so that systemic venous blood bypasses the heart and goes directly to the lungs. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, relevant anatomy, and techniques involved in performing the Fontan procedure and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing perioperative care of patients to improve outcomes.
