WI analysis elucidated that inspiration acts as a sucking driving force and increases the pulmonary blood flow in the Fontan circulation. Respiratory complications compromise efficiency in the Fontan circulation. It was also revealed that the pulmonary blood flow was mutually dammed up and sucked in by increases and decreases in atrial pressure.
