Bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with right ventricular outflow patency: The impact of pulsatility on pulmonary endothelial function [PDF]
, 2001 Objective: Although in vitro studies have suggested the importance of flow pulsatility in endothelial function, few reports have focused on pulmonary endothelial function under decreased pulsatile flow after a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with or ...

Hemodynamics and arteriovenous malformations in cavopulmonary anastomosis: The case for residual antegrade pulsatile flow [PDF]
, 2013 ObjectivesContinuous flow in Fontan circulation results in impairment of pulmonary artery endothelial function, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and, potentially, late failure of Fontan circulation.

Maintenance of pulmonary vasculature tone by blood derived from the inferior vena cava in a rabbit model of cavopulmonary shunt [PDF]
, 2005 IntroductionAfter cavopulmonary shunt in which the superior vena cava is anastomosed to the right pulmonary artery, the right lung is in a unique condition without flow pulsatility and hepatic venous effluent.

Parents' management of their child's hydrocephalus and shunt [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction Shunts are the main treatment for hydrocephalus. When shunts malfunction the consequences are serious and can be life threatening. Identifying shunt malfunction requires effective parent-professional collaboration: parents need to recognise
