Experimental set-ups for simulating the circulation following the Norwood operation, with modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (A) and Sano shunt (B). The mock loops include a 3D patient-specific anatomical model. The Berlin Heart EXCOR simulates the single ventricle. C_UB = lumped compliance for upper body district, R_UB = lumped resistance for upper body district, C_LB = lumped compliance for lower body district, R_LB = lumped resistance for lower body district, C_S = lumped compliance for pulmonary district, R_S = lumped resistance for pulmonary district, C_prox = proximal compliance compensating for rigid 3D model.
