The recent development of computer technology has made it possible to simulate the
hemodynamics of congenital heart diseases on a desktop computer. However, multi-scale …

Computational fluid dynamics has become an important tool for studying blood flow
dynamics. As an in-silico collection of methods, computational fluid dynamics is noninvasive …

Background For neonates with critical left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO),
hybrid procedures are an alternative to the Norwood stage 1 procedure. Despite perceived …

Objective Despite increasing use of bilateral branch pulmonary artery banding (bPAB), both
as a temporary stabilizing treatment and as part of comprehensive hybrid management of …

Children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) must undergo multiple surgical stages
to reconstruct the anatomy to a sustainable single ventricle system. Stage I palliation, or the …

Objective Currently, no quantitative guidelines have been established for treatment of left
pulmonary artery (LPA) stenosis. This study aims to quantify the effects of LPA stenosis on …

Objective Modeling of single-ventricle circulations has yielded important insights into their
unique flow dynamics and physiology. Here we translated a state-of-the-art mathematical …

Introduction The increased survival rate of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) has
made it likely that 70%–95% of infants with CHDs surviving into adulthood often require …

Abstract Introduction The hybrid Norwood (HN) is a relatively new first stage palliative
procedure for neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, in which a sustainable uni …

Advances in imaging technology have led to a paradigm shift from planning of
cardiovascular procedures and surgeries requiring the actual patient in a “brick and mortar” …
