The goal of this project is to create an experimental flow loop that mimics a Fontan circulation that includes a compliant anatomical structure. The system will include structures that can be adjusted so that a variety of physiological pressure and flow conditions can be attained. These parameters will be recorded and include a feedback system. The deliverables will be a flow loop that is fully-functional where feedback can be obtained and elements can be adjusted automatically.
