TL;DR: The current state of the art in the understanding and treatment of HLHS during the stages of care is presented, including perioperative care, interstage monitoring, and management strategies, and issues surrounding the genetics, developmental outcomes, and quality of life are addressed.

TL;DR: The recent development of a fully open-source SimVascular software package, which provides a complete pipeline from medical image data segmentation to patient-specific blood flow simulation and analysis, is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively compare three available methods for treatment of outlets to prevent backflow divergence in finite element Navier-Stokes solvers, including adding a stabilization term to the boundary nodes formulation, constraining the velocity to be normal to the outlet, and using Lagrange multipliers to constrain the velocity profile at all or some of the outlets.

TL;DR: In this article, a patient-specific fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis of a total cavopulmonary connection is presented, which includes large portions of the pulmonary circulation, and a simple approach to construct variable-thickness blood vessel wall descrip- tion is proposed.

TL;DR: A computational framework for multiscale modeling and simulation of blood flow in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients is presented and it is observed that PV loops do not change significantly after CABG but that both coronary perfusion and local hemodynamic parameters near the anastomosis region change substantially.
