Tunable Blood Shunt for Neonates With Complex Congenital Heart Defects

Tunable Blood Shunt for Neonates With Complex Congenital Heart Defects

Despite advancements in procedures and patient care, mortality rates for neonatal recipients of the Norwood procedure, a palliation for single ventricle congenital malformations, remain high due to the use of a fixed-diameter blood shunt. In this study, a new geometrically tunable blood shunt was in...
