Transcatheter Fontan Stenting: Impact on Hepatic Stiffness and Exercise Capacity
NCT07073612 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this observational study is to assess the clinical impact following Fontan stent placement for extracardiac Fontan conduit (EFC) stenosis in patients with single-ventricle Fontan-palliated patients ages 12-21 years old. The main question it aims to: -Assess changes in exercise capacity by cardiopulmonary exercise testing and liver stiffness assessed by shear wave elastography before and after EFC stenting. Participants will undergo two cardiopulmonary exercise tests and three shear wave elastography scans.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07073612
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07073612 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's Hospital Los Angeles, which has 163 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Single-ventricle appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07073612 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
