Summary 1. An anastomosis was made between the right atrial appendage and the main pulmonary artery. 2. In acute experiments, the venous pressure was demonstrated to drive venous return through the lungs without benefit of the pumping action of the right ventricle. 3. In chronic experiments, the anastomosis acts similarly to a tricuspid insufficiency. No deleterious effects were seen in the course of two months observations on such dogs.

Artificial Maintenance of the Systemic Circulation without Participation of the Right Ventricle
A pump of 50 cc. reservoir capacity, only 10 cm. in diameter, was placed in the systemic circuit between the left auricular appendage and the left common carotid artery in each of 10 dogs so that the…

TLDR
There is a genuine concern that, despite the refinement of the surgical procedures in the past 20 years, continuing attrition might be inevitable, and this adverse effect can lead to a decline in functional capacity, and premature late death.
A Prelude to Fontan
TLDR
In the decades preceding the Fontan operation, there was an intensive experimental and clinical quest to bypass the right heart, but clinically only partial bypass (superior cava–right pulmonary artery anastomosis) was applied successfully.

Dynamics of Complete Right Ventricular Failure in Dogs Maintained with an Extracorporeal Left Ventricle
By replacing the left ventricle of a dog with an extracorporeal pump, complete failure of the right ventricle (e.g., fibrillation) caused marked elevation of central venous pressure, the Degrees of…
Dynamic Responses of the Right Ventricle following Extensive Damage by Cauterization
TLDR
Results are considered evidence that the cauterization procedure and others of a similar nature do not produce right heart failure and, therefore, would not be expected to cause venous congestion.
Experience With Palliative Surgery for Tricuspid Atresia
TLDR
Although long-term results have yet to be carefully evaluated, the follow-up for more than 5 Years of several operated children has demonstrated that a certain number of selected patients have benefited greatly from this procedure.
Stenosis of the Tricuspid Valve
The tricuspid or right atrioventricular valve is significantly larger than the mitral, is of more delicate construction and is divided into three major leaflets rather than two. These two valves are…
