<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. Standard-of-care shunts are synthetic, which can lead to thrombosis, and much stiffer than the two ho...
