Background

The presented test results of both mechanical and electrical aspects of Robin Heart telemanipulator systems, show significant progress both in a mechanical and control viewpoint, along with an improvement in the characterisation of the test parameters.

Hemodynamic performance after Norwood with the RV-PA conduit is more effective than after Norwood with BTS. Computer simulations of complicated hemodynamics after the Norwood procedure could be helpful in establishing optimal post-Norwood physiology.
