Connection to an AP resulted in a transient fetal hemodynamic response that tended to normalize over hours. In this short-term evaluation, cardiac structure and function was preserved. However, the system results in non-physiologically elevated venous pressure and pulsatile flow, which should be corrected to avoid later impairment in cardiac function.
