Preoperative simulation of pediatric cardiac surgery analyzed by computational fluid dynamic study

根据每位外科医生的经验和科学数据，Fontan手术后的早期存活率显著提高，这是基于围手术期外科治疗和策略的发展。尽管有了这些改善，但长期的并发症仍令人担忧，如肺动静脉畸形和导管内血栓形成，这可能会降低术后的生活质量。我们用计算流体力学模拟了手术的优化设计，以获得更好的生存质量，并在Fontan和Glenn手术中找到了最佳的吻合口。该技术可应用于不同类型的小儿心脏手术的设计，以期提高术后生活质量。

Early survival after Fontan procedure has improved dramatically for the development of perioperative surgical treatment and strategy based on each surgeon's experience and scientific data. Despite of these improvement, there are still concerns about long-term complications, i.e. pulmonary arteriovenous malformation and thrombus formation in the conduit, which can less the quality of life after surgery. We simulated the optimal design of procedures with computational fluid dynamics to gain the better quality of survival and the optimal anastomosis was developed both in Fontan and Glenn procedure. This technique could be applied to designing of the different type of pediatric cardiac surgery, which is expected to lead the better quality of life after surgery.
