Abstract:

Computational fluid dynamics is an intuitive and visualised method, which facilitates the simulation of cardiovascular system under physiological and pathological states with multidisciplinary intergration. Computational fluid dynamics can work in estimation of hemodynamics preoperation, evaluation of blood flow of structure region postoperation and surgical approach simulation. The research progress of computational fluid dynamics in surgical approach simulation for congenital heart disease is reviewed in this paper.

Key words: computational fluid dynamics, congenital heart disease, surgical approach, simulation
