Giving an adult life after Fontan surgery to those with the most severe congenital heart conditions

丰坦手术是为出生时只有一个心腔的婴儿进行的一系列手术中的最后一次。在这类研究中规模最大的一项是，澳大利亚和新西兰方坦注册中心与心脏儿童、父母协会和国家心脏基金会合作，打算在他们步入成年后改善他们的生活。我们相信，我们新的标准化护理模式将降低他们经历中风和再次手术等不良事件的风险。

The Fontan operation is the last of a series of operations performed for babies born with a single pumping heart chamber (ventricle). In the largest research of its kind, the Australia and New Zealand Fontan Registry partners with Heartkids, the parents’ association and the National Heart Foundation are intending to improve their life as they step into adulthood. We believe that our new standardised model of care will decrease their risk of experiencing adverse events such as stroke and reoperation.
