DOI: 10.1007/s00246-021-02599-w
Abstract: It is unclear whether residual anterograde pulmonary blood flow (APBF) at the time of Fontan is beneficial. Pulsatile pulmonary flow may be important in maintaining a compliant and healthy vascular circuit. We, therefore, wished to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2020.07.019
Abstract: Abstract Background: Mounting evidence supports the role of pulmonary hemodynamic alternations in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Previous studies have demonstrated that changes in pulmonary blood volumes measured on CT are associated with histopathological markers of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2021.02.023
Abstract: PURPOSE Limited diagnostic options exist for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) who cannot undergo CT-angiogram (CTA). CT-ventilation methods recover respiratory motion-induced lung volume changes as a surrogate for ventilation. We recently demonstrated that pulmonary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ppedcard.2021.101367
Abstract: Abstract Neonates with ductal-dependent blood flow require a stable source of pulmonary blood flow as their initial palliative procedure. This may be accomplished with either a surgical shunt, e.g., a Blalock- Taussig- Thomas (BTT) shunt… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)31212-4
Abstract: For single ventricle patients referred for superior cavopulmonary connection (SCPC) who have antegrade pulmonary blood flow (APBF), there is uncertainty regarding the relative merits of maintaining ABPF. We sought to study the outcomes following SCPC… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/aaff7b
Abstract: We previously reported that apparent lung mass varies across the phases of 4D computed tomography (4DCT) images. We hypothesize that these variations correspond to the physiologic changes in pulmonary perfusion induced during normal tidal breathing,… read more here.
