Impact of Free-Breathing Phase-Contrast MRI on Decision-Making in Fontan Surgical Planning
JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH(2019)
摘要
Fontan surgical planning ranks proposed surgical options according to their hemodynamics assessed by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling. CFD commonly utilizes blood flow acquired under breath-holding (BH) conditions. Ignoring the free-breathing (FB) effect on blood flow waveforms may impact the ranking of surgical options. This study investigates such a potential impact by including ten Fontan patients who had blood flow acquisitions under both BH and FB conditions. A virtual surgery platform was used to generate two surgical options for each patient: (1) a traditional Fontan conduit and (2) a Y-graft. These options were ranked based on clinically relevant hemodynamic metrics: power loss (PL) and hepatic flow distribution (HFD). No difference was found in the ranking of options between using FB and BH flow acquisitions. The findings indicated that decision-making is not affected by the types of flow acquisition for Fontan surgical planning.
