Magnetic resonance imaging--the evaluation of choice in residual shunt after congenital heart disease surgery?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate anatomic diagnosis presents a dilemma in patients with residual shunt after corrective surgery for congenital heart disease. We describe a patient who, after atrial septal defect repair, developed dyspnea and central cyanosis despite normal pulmonary arterial pressures and right heart chamber size. A role for early MRI is suggested.

Right ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...

Multimodality cardiovascular imaging plays a central role in caring for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). CHD clinicians and scientists are interested not only in cardiac morphology but also in the maladaptive ventricular responses and extracellular changes predisposing to adverse outcomes in this population. Expertise in the applications, strengths, and pitfalls of these cardiovasc...
متن کاملShunt operations improved thrombocytopenia in a patient with congenital cyanotic heart disease.
Cardiac and vascular intervention in thrombocytopenic congenitally cyanotic patients is more dangerous. Thrombocytopenia in these patients is related to immune thrombocytopenia, polycythemia, hyperviscosity, pseudothrombocytopenia, and drugs. Herein we report on a thrombocytopenic 8-year-old girl with tricuspid valve atresia and pulmonary valve stenosis admitted for catheterization. Thrombocyto...
