A computational investigation on the total cavopulmonary connection circulation assisted by an axial flow pump by Can Jin, Xudong Liu, Yong Wu, Shengzhang Wang, Shengzhang Wang, Junming Zhu

“…The constant-speed pump generated more stable spiral flow patterns in the TCPC structure, reducing energy loss by 21.3% compared to the variable-speed pump, and the wall shear stress distribution in the inferior vena cava (IVC) region was found to be closer to physiological conditions.ConclusionsAccording to the results, we confirm that the constant speed mode in powered Fontan circulation has significant advantages in maintaining blood flow stability, optimizing energy efficiency, and promoting organ-specific venous return.…”
