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

基于每位外科医生的经验和科学数据，围手术期手术治疗和策略的发展大大提高了Fontan手术后的早期生存率。尽管有这些改善，但仍存在对长期并发症的担忧，即肺动静脉畸形和管道内血栓形成，这可能会降低术后生活质量。为了获得更好的生存质量，我们用计算流体力学模拟了手术的优化设计，并在Fontan和Glenn手术中开发了最佳吻合口。该技术可用于设计不同类型的小儿心脏手术，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.
