Right-to-Left Shunting through the Unidirectional Valved Patch after Closure of Ventricular Septal Defect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Postoperative transesophageal echocardiography images of a patient undergoing unidirectional valved patch closure of ventricular septal defect in the setting of severe pulmonary hypertension are presented. The images and videos elegantly demonstrate a functioning valve without any obstruction to the left ventricular outflow.

Urgent Surgical Intervention for Embolized Cardiac Occluder Devices: A Case Series
Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension secondary to increased pulmonary vascular resistance
(PVR) is one of the most important determinants of operative morbidity and mortality as well as long-term survival after repair of a left-to-right shunt. We read with interest the paper of Talwar et al. [1] about the use of a unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for ventricular septal defect (VSD) correction in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The reported result looks very optimistic....
متن کاملRight ventricular infarction complicated by right to left shunting through an atrial septal defect: successful treatment with an Amplatzer septal occluder.
A 68 year old woman presented with right ventricular myocardial infarction complicated by refractory hypoxaemia. She was found to have a significant right to left shunt at the atrial level through a previously undiagnosed ostium secundum atrial septal defect. Percutaneous closure of the atrial septal defect with an Amplatzer septal occluder resulted in prompt improvement in her oxygenation and ...

A 6-month old female alpaca cria presented to The Ohio State University for evaluation of a cardiac murmur. Echocardiography revealed a left-to-right shunting patent ductus arteriosus, a restrictive left-to-right shunting perimembranous ventricular septal defect, and secondary moderate left atrial and ventricular dilation. Aortic root angiography demonstrated a type IIA patent ductus arteriosus...

We present the case of a patient who underwent a Nikaidoh procedure for total correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and pulmonary stenosis (PS). A young girl, 2 years and 4 months of age, weighing 3400 g at birth, was diagnosed with TGA, VSD, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), with valvular ...
