A schematic of an industrial ejector pump. This device transfers the energy of higher-pressure flow to lower-pressure flow, thus elevating the pressure at the outlet. Based on the same concept, flow through the SVC can be assisted by flow through the shunt to obtain a higher pressure at the PA without increasing SVC pressure. PA, Pulmonary artery; SVC, superior vena cava.
