A One-Dimensional (1D) Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Fontan-Associated Liver Disease (FALD). [PDF]
Int J Numer Method Biomed EngFontan‐associated liver disease (FALD) is a disorder arising from congestion in the liver. This disease is prominent in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Through perfusion analysis, we find that as FALD progresses, there are increased pressures and decreased flow to certain regions of liver tissue.
