摘要: The Fontan operation is a palliative surgical procedure performed on children born with congenital defects of the heart that have yielded only single functioning ventricle. total cavo-pulmonary connection (TCPC) most popular variant procedure. objective study was to quantify and compare efficiency numerical models TCPC rigid versus elastic vessel wall models. pressure drop power loss through both type measured. Significant differences in efficiencies exist between We shown incorporating elasticity into important when determining circuit efficiencies.
