Elective Mechanical Sub Pulmonary Support - The Final Frontier of Single Ventricle Palliation

Abstract

Sophisticated technology advances are fast taking taking shape to provide long term destination therapy mechanical circulatory assistance. Sai Spandan total articial heart with hybrid BSRM core with dual motor and controls, virtual t technology is one such over the horizon. The promise is of better quality of life and longevity. Transcutaneous charging of fully implantable models would very soon revolutionize cardiac surgical treatment modalities. The nal frontier in a failing Fontan is sub pulmonary mechanical assistance. We take a short look into the issues and possibilities. The research gap exists for the innovator in this eld.
