Impact of pulmonary artery flow distribution on Fontan hemodynamics and flow energetics

Abstract: Background With improved life expectancy following Fontan palliation, there is an increasing population of patients with a total cavopulmonary connection. However, there is a poor understanding of which patients will experience Fontan failure and when. 4D flow MRI has identified several metrics of clinical interest, but longitudinal studies investigating hemodynamics in Fontan patients are lacking. Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship between… Show more

“…Quantification of PFD is crucial in the treatment of Fontan circulation since hepatic flow distribution has been found to be associated with the development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations ( Yang et al, 2012 ; Bächler et al, 2013 ). The quantification of PFD can be accomplished using two methods: the flow rate calculation method ( Tang et al, 2014 ; Frieberg et al, 2022 ) and the calculation method using particle trace ( Bächler et al, 2013 ; Ha et al, 2019 ; Weiss et al, 2023 ). We found a strong correlation (r = 0.71) between 4D Flow MRI and CFD for PFD from the SVC, while a moderate correlation (r = 0.40) was observed for PFD from the conduit.…”
