Central vs RVPA shunt selection in Norwood remains uncertain; novel Level 5 data are hypothesis-generating and require prospective validation.
This paper describes a multiscale mathematical modeling approach to study pulmonary and coronary arterial perfusions in the Norwood circulation.
Migliavacca et al. (2004) studied Norwood circulation. Norwood procedure (Central shunt vs modified Blalock-Taussig shunt) was evaluated. The Norwood procedure involves three stages of operative corrections, utilizing either a central or modified Blalock-Taussig shunt to establish pulmonary perfusion in the first stage.
