About this Video

Boston Children’s heart specialists offer a wide range of treatment and care options for the many different types of single-ventricle heart defects that require specialized care. From complex surgeries to cardiology interventions to fitness and other support programs, our team of clinicians provides comprehensive and individualized care to children and adults who will have a single-ventricle circulation throughout their lives.

• How does the team determine who is a candidate for a Fontan procedure?
• How does the multi-disciplinary team work together in providing care?
• Why is it important for patients to have only one place for care?
• How do pulmonary vasodilators help Fontan patients? 
• What role does fitness play in improving children’s cardiovascular health?
