In this report, we describe a 3-year-old patient with a functionally univentricular heart (UVH), who had a combination of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) along with an unrouteable interventricular communication (VSD), severe infundibular and pulmonary valvar stenosis, and severe left pulmonary artery (LPA) ostial stenosis. This patient also had an interrupted inferior caval vein (IVC) with bilateral superior caval veins (SVC). We were able to undertake a successful Kawashima procedure with interruption of the antegrade pulmonary blood flow, reconstructing the LPA using a pedicled roll of the left atrial appendage (LAA).

Biventricular Repair of Univentricular Heart Lowers Risk of Liver Disease Compared With the Fontan Operation.
JACC Adv
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: The Fontan operation is associated with chronic venous hypertension, liver and renal disease, and several other sequelae. The alterative surgical approach, when feasible, a biventricular conversion (BiV), may diminish some of these long-term risks.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare long-term outcomes of patients undergoing BiV with those undergoing a destination Fontan operation.
Combined simulation and ex vivo assessment of free-edge length in bicuspidization repair for congenital aortic valve disease.

Objective: The study objective was to investigate the effect of free-edge length on valve performance in bicuspidization repair of congenitally diseased aortic valves.
Methods: In addition to a constructed unicuspid aortic valve disease model, 3 representative groups-free-edge length to aortic diameter ratio 1.2, 1.
Anatomical Aspects and Long-Term Outcomes of Additional Surgical Repair During Heart Transplantation in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

Adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) requiring heart transplantation (HT) usually show complex anatomies, posing surgical challenges. Consequently, we analyzed technical aspects and early and long-term outcomes of additional surgical repairs during HT in ACHD. Forty patients were identified (23 males, median age: 38 years, interquartile range [IQR]: 26-50).

School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, Drexel University, 3141 Chestnut Street, Rm. 718, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.
Purpose: Computational models of the cardiovascular system continue to increase in complexity. As more elements of the physiology are captured in multiscale models, there is a need to efficiently integrate subsystems. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a coupling methodology, called functional mock-up interface (FMI), as applied to multiscale cardiovascular modeling.

Robust preclinical models of asymmetric ventricular loading in late gestation reflecting conditions such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome are lacking. We characterized the morphometry and microvascular function of the hypoplastic left ventricle (LV) and remaining right ventricle (RV) in a sham-controlled late gestation fetal lamb model of impaired left ventricular inflow (ILVI). Singleton fetuses were instrumented at ∼120 days gestational age (dGA; term is ∼147 days) with vascular catheters, an aortic flow probe and a deflated left atrial balloon.
