Total Cavopulmonary Connection is Superior to Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan in Preventing Thrombus Formation: Computer Simulation of Flow-Related Blood Coagulation
Abstract
The classical Fontan route, namely the atriopulmonary connection (APC), continues to be associated with a risk of thrombus formation in the atrium. A conversion to a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) from the APC can ameliorate hemodynamics for the failed Fontan; however, the impact of these surgical operations on thrombus formation remains elusive. This study elucidates the underlying mechanism of thrombus formation in the Fontan route by...
