Fontan Procedure

The Fontan Procedure is a highly specialised surgery performed for children born with complex congenital heart defects (CHDs), especially those who have only one functioning ventricle. In such conditions, the heart cannot pump blood effectively through both the lungs the rest of the body, leading to severe circulation issues.

During the Fontan Procedure, surgeons redirect blood flow by connecting a major vein directly to the pulmonary arteries, allowing blood to reach the lungs without passing through the underdeveloped heart chamber. This bypass helps improve oxygenation reduces the strain on the heart.

The procedure is typically done in stages requires careful planning, expert surgical skills, close postoperative care. Successful Fontan surgeries enable patients to lead significantly improved lives, although long-term follow-up remains essential.

The cost of the Fontan Procedure in India ranges between USD 7,000 8,000, making it a highly accessible option for patients worldwide who seek expert care at affordable rates.
