What is A Tribute to Ajit Yoganathan's Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Lab: A Survey of Its Contributions to Our Understanding of the Physiology and Management of Single-Ventricle Patients about?

## Introduction: Among patients with congenital heart disease, those born with only a single working ventricle represent a particularly complex sub-population, typically requiring multiple surgeries and suffering from high levels of mortality and morbidity. their cardiac care is complex and has evolved considerably since surgical palliation was first introduced more than 50 years ago. improvements in treatment have been driven both by growing clinical experience and by knowledge gained through experimental and computational studies of blood flow in these patients. the cardiovascular fluid mechanics lab at the georgia institute of technology, founded 30 years ago by dr. ajit yoganathan, has pioneered work in this field. ## Methods: In this review, key contributions of dr. yoganathan's cardiovascular fluid dynamics lab are surveyed, including experimental flow loop studies as well as computational fluid dynamics analyses that address many of the critical challenges that cardiologists and surgeons face in treating these patients, including how to reconstruct cardiovascular anatomy to minimize power loss, balance blood flow distribution at key bifurcation points, and avoid other unfavo
