International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart DiseaseObjective: This study evaluated the current incidence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) following stage 2 palliation (S2P). Methods: Patients who underwent S2P, either through a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) or the Kawashima ...

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.

Hemodynamics of the total cavopulmonary connection: anin vitrostudy
Yonsei Medical Journal, 1997 To understand the local fluid dynamics for different designs of Fontan operation, five models were made of Pyrex glass to facilitate in vitro study. Models I, II and III had the same position as the center of the anastomosis of the IVC (inferior vena cava) with that of the SVC (superior vena cava), but Models IV and V had 10 mm offset between them.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 393-403, March 2026.Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.

Aortic Root Dilatation in Patients with Single Ventricle after Total Cavopulmonary Connection
Український журнал серцево-судинної хірургії, 2019 Extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (EC TCPC) is the end stage of hemodynamic correction in patients with a functional single ventricle (SV). The dilatation of the aortic root and proximal portion of the ascending aorta (Ao) has a progressive ...

A One‐Dimensional (1D) Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease (FALD)
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.Fontan‐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.

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 677-687, October 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare complication of surgically palliated congenital heart disease (CHD). Fibrin casts obstruct airways and can cause respiratory distress. There are no therapeutics approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat PB, but inhaled tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) has been

Traditional Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan with Excellent Outcome for 32 Years
The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2020 Although the traditional right atrial–pulmonary artery (RA–PA) Fontan has been replaced by the total cavopulmonary connection, some RA–PA Fontan patients still have good outcome.
