Passive performance evaluation and validation of a viscous impeller pump for subpulmonary fontan circulatory support

Abstract Patients with single ventricle defects undergoing the Fontan procedure eventually face Fontan failure. Long-term cavopulmonary assist devices using rotary pump technologies are currently being developed as a subpulmonary power source to prevent and treat Fontan failure. Low hydraulic resist...
