Abstract Background: The assessment of renal function is important to the prognosis of patients needing Fontan palliation due to the reconstructed compromised circulation. To know the relationship between the kidney perfusion and hemodynamic characteristics during surgical design could reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and the postoperative complications. However, the issue is still unsolved because the current clinical evaluation methods are unable to predict the hemodynamic changes in renal artery (RA). Methods: We reconstructed a three-dimensional (3D) vascular model of a patient requiring Fontan palliation. The technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was utilized to explore the changes of… More >
