Freedom from Neoaortic Insufficiency: A Comparison of Classic Norwood and Norwood?Sano Procedures

open access: yesCongenital Heart Disease, 2006
To investigate the incidence of neoaortic insufficiency in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome treated with the Norwood-Sano palliation and to compare it with that occurring after the classic Norwood procedure.This was a retrospective review of all echocardiograms of patients diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (concomitant ...

Fate of pulmonary arteries following Norwood Procedure [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
This study evaluated the requirement for surgical reoperation and catheter-based reintervention to central pulmonary arteries (CPAs) following Norwood Procedure (NP). We sought to identify the influence of various surgical techniques employed during NP on subsequent interventions.Between 1993 and 2004, 226 patients underwent Stage II following NP ...

Redefining the impact of oxygen and hyperventilation after the Norwood procedure [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2004
Postoperative management after the Norwood procedure is aimed at optimizing systemic oxygen delivery and mixed venous oxygen saturation. High levels of fraction of inspired oxygen and hyperventilation may increase pulmonary blood flow at the expense of systemic flow.

Active Whisker‐Inspired Food Material Surface Property Measurement Using Deep‐Learned Mechanosensor

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a new application is proposed for an active whisker sensor that mimics the movement of rat whiskers. The whiskers, which are deformed by contact with an object, provide information about surface properties. It is shown that active whisker sensors can be useful in the food industry, and data identification is performed using deep learning ...

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.

Influence of surgical strategies on outcome after the Norwood procedure [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006
The study objective was to identify how the evolution of surgical strategies influenced the outcome after the Norwood procedure.From 1992 to 2004, 367 patients underwent the Norwood procedure (median age, 4 days). Three surgical strategies were identified on the basis of arch reconstruction and source of pulmonary blood flow.
