Modelling single ventricle physiology: Review of engineering tools to study first stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome

First stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), i.e. the Norwood operation, results in a complex physiological arrangement, involving different shunting options (modified Blalock-Taussig, RV-PA conduit, central shunt from the ascending aorta) and enlargement of the hypoplastic asce...
