Fontan Surgical Planning
Cardiovascular simulations for patients with single ventricles undergoing the Fontan procedure can assess patient-specific hemodynamics, explore surgical advances, and develop personalized strategies for surgery and patient care. We have been playing an important role in translating image-based cardiovascular simulation into clinical applications. A good example is Fontan surgical planning, which pre-operatively optimizes hemodynamics for Fontan patients, thereby improving patient outcomes. We have been using our in-house Fontan surgical planning platform to assist clinicians from the United States and worldwide in optimizing surgical and interventional strategies for real-world patients.
