Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Blade shapes (leading‐edge geometry and thickness) in rotodynamic blood pumps were systematically evaluated. Thinner blades improve pump efficiency by reducing blockage effects, while neither blade thickness nor leading‐edge geometry shows clear hemocompatibility benefits. Overall, blade shape has a limited impact on hemocompatibility, indicating it is

Epicardial cardioverter defibrillator implantation due to post-fontan ventricular tachycardia
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2020 Long-term survival of patients submitted to a Fontan procedure is reduced because of arrhythmias. Late post-Fontan ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare, but it can be fatal. Consequently, the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

A Simple Predictive Factor for Mortality in Fontan Surgery: Serum Hypo-Osmolality [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular SurgeryObjective: Close follow-up is important after the Fontan procedure, which is a palliative surgical method for a single ventricle. In this period, serum osmolality is an important parameter with the advantages of easy to obtain and poor outcome prediction.
