Excerpt

Evaluation of blood flow characteristics in total cavo-pulmonary connection (TCPC) with CMR remains difficult due to its strong modulation by respiration, and is not yet entirely understood. New approaches using 4D phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC MRI) are promising and can contribute to the understanding of hemodynamics in the Fontan Circulation. Our objective was to compare flow, velocities, wall shear stress (WSS) and circulation in the TCPC using respiratory- and ECG triggered 4D PC MRI. …
