Laboratory Development of a Self-Powered Fontan for Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease
<p>Around 8% of all newborns with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) have only a single functioning ventricle. The Fontan operation has served as a palliation for this anomaly for decades, but the surgery entails multiple complications and survival rate is less than 50% by adulthood. A rapidly …

Infant Heart Transplant: Perioperative Indicators of Neurocognitive Development
… in the United States are born with a congenital heart defect (Limperopoulos et al, 1999), the primary defect in 57% is hypoplastic left heart syndrome (Johnston, 1991). A fatal disease twenty years ago, survival has jumped from less than 5% to 91% of infants surviving their one-month birthday due …

Comparative Analysis of Pressure Mapping Methods in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: Four-Dimensional Blood Flow Hemodynamics Assessment and Development of a Novel Pressure Mapping Tool
… (TOF) is the most prevalent cyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD) that alters normal blood flow through the heart and accounts for 10% of all CHD. Pulmonary stenosis and regurgitation are common in adults who have undergone TOF repair (rTOF) and can impact the load on the right ventricle, blood …
