Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze the hemodynamics of a new animal model of Fontan physiology, which is important for understanding poor long-term outcomes in Fontan patients.
- Researchers created a single-stage Fontan model in juvenile sheep and conducted detailed hemodynamic assessments.
- Results showed that only a fraction of the sheep survived, with survival rates improving over time due to a learning curve; the study identified key hemodynamic characteristics but noted anatomical differences that affected the model's accuracy, suggesting surgical modifications could enhance future studies.
