The Importance of Liver‐Lung Communication in Pulmonary Vascular Diseases

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Schematic depicting the key drivers of liver‐lung communication in pulmonary vascular diseases, including hepatic dysfunction, portosystemic shunting, and gut microbial dysbiosis, which together drive pulmonary vascular remodeling. ABSTRACT In normal health, the liver and lungs enjoy a close anatomic, physiologic, and functional relationship.

The Effect of Additional Pulmonary Blood Flow on Timing of the Total Cavopulmonary Connection

, 2012
Background. The staged Fontan procedure is used to palliate functionally univentricular hearts. The effect of additional pulmonary blood flow combined with a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt in these patients remains a controversial subject.

The helpful support of veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to treat an exceptional systemic‐to‐pulmonary venous shunt: A case report

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2026.
Abstract Systemic‐to‐pulmonary venous shunting is a rare cause of refractory hypoxemia. Its prompt recognition is crucial, as management requires not only etiological treatment but also the restoration of physiological venous return. We report the case of a 40‐year‐old man presenting with dyspnea, cervicothoracic edema, and hypoxemia.

Parents' experiences of living with a child with hydrocephalus: a cross-sectional interview-based study [PDF]

, 2015
Background Shunts, the main treatment for hydrocephalus, are problematic because they frequently malfunction. Detecting shunt malfunction is challenging because symptoms are similar to those of common childhood illnesses, particularly viral infections ...

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 1039-1042, March 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis without cardiopulmonary bypass

, 2015
Background: In this article, we present the results of an offpump cavoatrial shunt technique to creat a cavopulmonary bidirectional anastomosis. Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive patients (18 boys, 20 girls; mean age 14.9±16.8 months; range 4 months to 2.

Hemodynamic correction of univentricular congenital heart diseases: the role of additional sources of pulmonary blood flow

Патология кровообращения и кардиохирургия, 2018
Analysis of the impact of additional sources of pulmonary blood flow on the outcomes of hemodynamic correction of univentricular congenital heart disease is presented. From 2003 to 2010 31 patients received a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) with/

Early Versus Later Bicavopulmonary Connection in Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The bicavopulmonary connection (BCPC) is a crucial palliation for single‐ventricle physiology, improving haemodynamics by alleviating ventricular volume overload. While traditionally performed at 4–6 months, the optimal timing is debated, with a trend toward earlier intervention to reduce interstage mortality.
