A STUDY OF SURGICAL OPTIMIZATION FOR CONGENITAL HEART DISEASES BASED ON COMPUTATIONAL HEMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS

摘要

A system to be able to quantitatively estimate the quality of CHD surgery has been developed. The V&V processes for grid and boundary condition independent have been carried out, and a good correspondence has been obtained at in-vitro visualization measurement. Due to the grid numbers being reduced to an efficient size, the simulation process is able to be performed using a personal computer at an available short time; 3-4 hours. The results indicate that computational hemodynamic analysis will be applied into the process of surgical optimization. In a further study, a serial of before and after cases regarding Norwood surgery will be analyzed, as well as systems to be developed for further stage treatments; Glenn and Fontan treatments.
