DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27138
Abstract: The phenomenon of coronary steal is well known in the setting of HLHS (Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome) early after the Classical Norwood Operation. We report a rare case of an infant with HLHS [Severe Aortic… read more here.

Transseptal access for left heart structural interventions in the setting of prior atrial septal defect closure

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28548
Abstract: A transseptal puncture is critical for “left‐sided” structural heart interventions. Procedures such as transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (MitraClip) and left atrial appendage (LAA) closure (Watchman) require precise puncture of the interatrial septum (IAS), and the presence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cnm.3678
Abstract: We propose a mathematical and numerical model for the simulation of the heart function that couples cardiac electrophysiology, active and passive mechanics and hemodynamics, and includes reduced models for cardiac valves and the circulatory system.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12579
Abstract: We report a 15‐year‐old male with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) after Fontan operation with recurrent, drug‐resistant atrial tachycardia. With the use of electro‐anatomical mapping system (EnSite) an atrial flutter (AFl) with reentry activation around… read more here.
