The Hemi-Fontan procedure is the second of three operations for children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other types of single ventricle physiology. This procedure is generally performed at 6 months of age. The Hemi-Fontan consists of anastomosis of the superior vena cava (SVC) to the right pulmonary artery, augmentation of the branch pulmonary arteries and patch closure of the communication between the superior vena cava and the right atrium.
