Core Tip	In the current surgical era for congenital heart disease, palliation of single ventricle patients has become standard of care. However, pathophysiologic failure after the thrid stage of palliation (Fontan) is commonplace, with very few therapeutic options. Failing Fontan physiology is a management challenge. Herein, we review the pathophysiology of failing Fontan, current therapies and propose a novel way of treating the failing Fontan by utilizing negative pressure ventilation to reverse some of the maladapative changes. This is a hypothesis paper. We think, the ideas central to the manuscript are worth bringing out for intellectual discussion and wider testing.
