In this study, hemodynamic performance of three novel shunt configurations that are considered for the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) disease are investigated in detail. Clinical experience suggests that the shunt location, connecting angle, and its diameter can influence the post-operative physiology and the neurodevelopment of the neonatal patient. An experimentally validated second...
Quantitatively analyze the characteristics of intraventricular flow is critical for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). Although several techniques are applied in clinic currently, the information which they provided is not satisfied with the requirement of the therapies of CHD. Here, we introduced the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the intraventricular hemodynamics...
Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a commonly used palliative procedure to restrict excess pulmonary blood in certain congenital heart diseases. However, many associated long-term hemodynamic problems still remain unsolved over the years. In this study, we utilized the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the hemodynamic effects of PAB on patient-specific pulmonary flow before,...
Conduits available for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction eventually become stenotic and/or insufficient due to calcification. In order to reduce the incidence of reoperations we have developed and used a bicuspid valved polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) conduit for the RVOT reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the hemodynamic performance of the new design using...
