Abstract
The OptiFlo TCPC design exhibits lower power losses with better adaptive distribution of hepatic blood to both lungs and lower blood flow disturbances compared with the planar one-diameter offset TCPC model. Its significantly superior hemodynamic performance at higher cardiac outputs (exercise) rationalizes further design and feasibility studies toward a workable clinical model.
