The Australian and New Zealand Fontan Registry page provides a community for children, youn Welcome to the Fontan Registry!

As a participant, parent or friend of the Registry, we invite you to join this community to share information and collaborate with other members. This page has been created by the Registry to build a forum where doctors and patients can ask questions, share their experiences and even guide future research. The Fontan Registry is the largest Fontan database in the world, providing the community with information to help improve the long-term health of patients and explore different treatment options. Despite being around for 40 years, there are still many things we do not know about the future of the Fontan procedure. By helping us ask important questions through research projects, you can be involved in providing the whole Fontan community with a better future.
