Outcomes of bidirectional Glenn surgery done without prior cardiac catheterization

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022
Background Cardiac catheterization is usually done routinely in patients with univentricular hearts before palliative Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with physiological univentricular

Autonomous Fontan pump: Computational feasibility studyCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yesJTCVS Open
Objective: After Fontan palliation, patients with single-ventricle physiology are committed to chronic circulatory inefficiency for the duration of their lives. This is due in large part to the lack of a subpulmonary ventricle.

Multimodality cardiac imaging of a double chambered right ventricle with intrapulmonary shunting: a case report

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Double chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a relatively rare congenital heart disease, characterized by the abnormal division of the right ventricle into a high-pressure inlet and low-pressure outlet by anomalous muscle bundles.

Cardiac Laterality: Surgical Results of Right Atrial Isomerism

open access: yesDiseases, 2023
Right atrial isomerism (RAI) is a complex entity with varying diagnostic and treatment outcomes due to its rarity. Treatment options range from palliative to corrective surgeries, resulting in heterogeneous outcomes.

Long-term outcomes of patients with single ventricle who do not undergo Fontan palliation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2023
Background: Patients with single ventricle (SV) without Fontan palliation are uncommon, and their long-term outcomes remain unclear. Methods: Retrospective study of 35 adult patients with SV without Fontan from two tertiary centers.

Are We Getting Better?: Ongoing Challenges of Atrioventricular Valve Repair in Children With Single Ventricle Physiology

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background This study aimed to assess impact of atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation onset, timing of AVV repair (AVVr), ventricular morphology, and era effect on AVVr outcomes in a single ventricle population. Methods A retrospective review of 155

Multiscale Modeling of a Geometrically Tunable Shunt for Growing Pediatric Patients With Single Ventricle Physiology

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Here we investigated the development of a geometrically tunable blood for patients with single ventricle physiology. Two multiscale cardiovascular models were customized and implemented at timepoints spanning across the beginning and end of the shunt‐use period.

Current state of the art in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart condition in which a neonate is born with an underdeveloped left ventricle and associated structures. Without palliative interventions, HLHS is fatal.

Non‐Invasive Assessment of Endothelial Dysfunction and Arterial Stiffness in Fontan Circulation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Fontan procedure is the definitive treatment for complex congenital heart disease, creating a circulation without a subpulmonary ventricle. This altered hemodynamic state negatively affects endothelial function, contributing to progressive organ dysfunction and long‐term morbidity.
