Computer dynamics to evaluate blood flow through the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt Estudo computadorizado do escoamento de sangue em modelo da anastomose de Blalock-Taussig modificada

OBJECTIVES: To study the influence of geometric factors upon the function of modified Blalock-Taussig anastomoses (mBT) using a computational dynamic code based upon the method of finite elements. METHODS: The mBT operation, performed in 10 patients, was graphically reconstructed to create a paramet...
