The disagreement between the patient data and the hemodynamic parameters of the baseline shunt when using implant-time dimensions and the agreement that was obtained by reducing the shunt diameter by 22% in our simulations.
| Patient data | Shunt conforming to implant-time dimensions | Shunt with 22% diameter occlusion | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean aortic pressure (mmHg) | 56.4 | 58.5 | 52.9 |
| Mean pulmonary pressure (mmHg) | 14.7 | 38.6 | 16.0 |
| Shunt pressure gradient (mmHg) | 41.7 | 19.9 | 36.9 |
| Mean shunt flow (ml s−1) | 9.7 | 9.6 | 10.4 |
| Shunt resistance (mmHg ml−1 s) | 4.3 | 2.1 | 3.5 |
