Background We are developing a total cavopulmonary support system for failing Fontan
physiology using the percutaneous Wang-Zwische double-lumen cannula (DLC). Methods …

Objectives The Avalon Elite (Macquet, Rastatt, Germany) double-lumen cannula can provide
effective cavopulmonary assistance in a Fontan (total cavopulmonary connection) sheep …

A cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD) has been developed for failing Fontan support. This
CPAD pumps blood from superior/inferior vena cavae (SVC/IVC) to pulmonary artery. In this …

Severe hypoplasia of the right ventricle leads to the need to offer an alternative strategy
beyond two-ventricle repair for the infant with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular …

This study considers blood flow in Total Cavopulmonary Connection (TCPC) morphology,
created in Fontan surgical procedure in patients with single ventricle heart disease. Ordinary …

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 …

Several device designs for cavopulmonary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) are under
investigation, however, challenged by the Fontan population's heterogeneity in size …

Single-ventricle anomaly is a hereditary heart disease that is characterized by anatomical
malformations. The main consequence of this malformation is desaturated blood flow, which …

We are developing a clinically practical percutaneous double lumen cannula (DLC)–based
cavopulmonary assist (CPA) system to support failing Fontan patients. In this study, our CPA …

This study evaluated the performance of an intravascular, percutaneously‐inserted, axial
flow blood pump in an idealized total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) model of a Fontan …
