Influence of Connection Geometry and SVC-IVC Flow Rate Ratio on Flow Structures within the Total Cavopulmonary Connection: A Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) is a palliative cardiothoracic surgical procedure used in patients with one functioning ventricle that excludes the heart from the systemic venous to ...
Optimization of Inflow Waveform Phase-Difference for Minimized Total Cavopulmonary Power Loss
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Fontan operation is a palliative surgical procedure performed on children, born with congenital heart defects that have yielded only a single functioning ventricle. The total cavo-pulmonary ...
