Discordances in Kinetic Energy Between the Superior Cavopulmonary Connection and Single Ventricle Are Associated With Suboptimal Fontan Outcomes: A Pre‐Fontan 4‐Dimensional Flow Study Open
Background Patients with functional single ventricle (SV) are at risk for adverse outcomes after staged palliation from the superior cavopulmonary connection (SCPC) to the Fontan. Current pre‐Fontan assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance…

Design and Functionality of a Multilumen Thoracic Access Port for Pericardial Access Under Direct Visualization Open
Small vasculature, venous obstruction, or congenital anomalies can preclude transvenous access to the heart, often resulting in open chest surgery to implant cardiac therapy leads for pacing, defibrillation, or cardiac resynchronization. A…
