Aortic Root Dilatation in Patients with Single Ventricle after Total Cavopulmonary Connection
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 ...

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.

Simultaneous total cavopulmonary connection and cardiac re-synchronisation therapy
We report the simultaneous use of cardiac re-synchronisation therapy and total cavopulmonary connection in a patient with dyssynchrony, wide QRS, and cardiac failure. To our knowledge, this simultaneous approach has not been reported previously.

Hypoventilation improves oxygenation after bidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection [PDF]
ObjectiveBidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection may be complicated by systemic hypoxemia. Previous work has shown that hyperventilation worsens systemic oxygenation in patients after bidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
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.

Autonomous Fontan pump: Computational feasibility studyCentral MessagePerspective
Objective: After Fontan palliation, patients with single-ventricle physiology are committed to chronic circulatory inefficiency for the duration of their lives. This is due in large part to the lack of a subpulmonary ventricle.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrhythmias are frequently encountered in patients with single ventricle physiology palliated by the Fontan circulation. Autonomic dysfunction, an imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, is critical in arrhythmogenesis.

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Although the traditional right atrial–pulmonary artery (RA–PA) Fontan has been replaced by the total cavopulmonary connection, some RA–PA Fontan patients still have good outcome.

A One‐Dimensional (1D) Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease (FALD)
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.
