Outflow boundary conditions for 3D simulations of non-periodic blood flow and pressure fields in deformable arteries [PDF]

, 2010
The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled multidomain method to couple analytical models of the downstream domains with 3D ...

Performing modified fontan before six years of age leads to superior long-term exercise capacity

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2020
We investigated the influence of age at Fontan completion on the exercise capacity of patients who underwent a Fontan operation. Our study demonstrated that age at the time of the Fontan operation significantly affects the peak oxygen consumption at mid ...

The Risk of Thromboembolic Complications in Fontan Patients with Atrial Flutter/fibrillation Treated with Electrical Cardioversion [PDF]

, 2016
Atrial flutter or fibrillation (AFF) remains a major chronic complication of the Fontan procedure. This complication further predisposes this patient population to thromboembolic events.

Transcatheter occlusion of a hepatic vein-to-left atrium fistula: Should we close venovenous collateral vessels following Fontan operation?

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2022
Right-to-left shunt due to abnormal systemic venous drainage to the left heart is among the causes of hypoxemia following Fontan operation. There are conflicting data regarding the closure of the venovenous collaterals (VVCs) post-Fontan, showing ...

3D printing is a transformative technology in congenital heart disease [PDF]

, 2018
Survival in congenital heart disease has steadily improved since 1938, when Dr. Robert Gross successfully ligated for the first time a patent ductus arteriosus in a 7-year-old child.

Surgical thoracic duct decompression: The right choice for Fontan-associated protein-losing enteropathy?Central MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques
Objective: Protein-losing enteropathy is among the most debilitating complications of Fontan circulation. Central venous hypertension increases lymphatic pressure in the thoracic duct, potentially leading to significant intestinal protein loss.

Inhaled iloprost for the treatment of patient with Fontan circulation [PDF]

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
Decreased exercise capacity after Fontan surgery is relatively common and the failure of the Fontan state gradually increases with age. However, there is no further treatment for patients with Fontan circulation.

THE FONTAN CIRCULATION [PDF]

Heart, 2005
A normal mammal cardiovascular system consists postnatally of a double—pulmonary and systemic—circuit, connected in series, powered by a double pump—the “right” and “left” heart. Many complex cardiac malformations are characterised by the existence of only one functional ventricle. This “single” ventricle then has to maintain both the systemic and the

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]

, 2013
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Management of circulatory failure after Fontan surgery

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
With improvement in survival after Fontan surgery resulting in an increasing number of older survivors, there are more patients with a Fontan circulation experiencing circulatory failure each year.
