<i>Ex Vivo</i> Biomechanical Characterization of Umbilical Vessels: Possible Shunts in Congenital Heart Palliation
2023-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Children born with single ventricle defects undergo staged palliative surgeries to reconstruct the circulation to improve transport of deoxygenated blood to the lungs. As part of the first surgery, a temporary shunt (Blalock-Thomas-Taussig) is often created in neonates to connect a systemic and a pulmonary artery.
