Abstract

The long-term survival of the Australia and New Zealand Fontan population is excellent. Patients with an AP Fontan experience survival of 76% at 25 years. Technical modifications have further improved survival. Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome are at higher risk of failure. Large, comprehensive registries such as this will further improve our understanding of late outcomes after the Fontan procedure.
