Right ventricular failure due to coronary artery ligation and subsequent treatment with a cavopulmonary shunt

ABSTRACT: A porcine microarray study of right ventricular failure due to coronary artery ligation of the right ventricular free wall and subsequent treatment of right ventricular failure by volume unloading using a shunt between superior vena cava and the pulmonary artery (Glenn-shunt) 1. Surgical preparation with a 12 mm graft between superior vena cava and pulmonary artery, the graft is then clamped - Baseline sample using a biopsy needle. 2. After surgical preparation the coronary arteries of the right ventricular free wall are ligated, then heart failure develops over 120 minutes - Failure sample using a biopsy needle. 3. The shunt is then opened and the superior vena cava closed between the shunt and right atrium, diverting the blood from superior vena cava through the shunt for a period o
