Assessment of intraatrial lateral tunnel anatomy and venous blood flow in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in Fontan circulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In patients (pts) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) post completion of the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) with an intraatrial lateral tunnel, deviations of the tunnel from an ideal tubular shape are common. However, little is known about frequency and potential adverse effects of such shape deviations. Therefore, we sought to analyze intraatrial lateral tunnel anatomy, dimensions and blood flow in children with HLHS with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Quantitative analysis of extracardiac versus intraatrial Fontan anatomic geometries.
BACKGROUND There exists large geometric variability among total cavopulmonary connections (TCPC) because of the patient-specific anatomies and the chosen surgical procedure. In this study we present quantitative comparison of the geometric characteristics of the extracardiac and intraatrial Fontan anatomies, the two commonly used TCPC procedures. METHODS A method of centerline approximation o...
متن کامل10 Fontan Surgery : Experience of One Cardiovacular Center
In order to establish a normal, in-series circulation physiologically, very different from the circulation in parallel which the children are born with single ventricle, doctors Fontan and Baudet (2) and Kreutzer (3) concurrently developed surgical treatment of patients with tricuspid atresia to achieve a passive flow through the pulmonary vascular bed (1). Management strategies for patients wi...

The Fontan operation is the definitive step in creating a compatible circulation in SV patients. This type of procedure may fail due to the known decrease survival rate, and the inability of the systemic venous blood to pass through the lungs, which leads to further complications in the patient. To improve the Fontan circulation an injection jet shunt (IJS) from the single ventricle to the Font...
متن کاملManagement of the failing Fontan circulation
The ‘Fontan circulation’ has evolved to include a variety of surgical procedures designed to overcome the absence of two distinct ventricular chambers. w1ew3 Inherent to this circulation is chronic elevation of right atrial and vena caval pressure, and absence of a dedicated power source to serve the pulmonary circulation, making low pulmonary vascular resistance and optimal systemic ventricula...
متن کاملMonitoring of central venous pressure and stroke volume variation in a case with a ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation and Fontan circulation
Background Patients with complex congenital heart disease increasingly undergo noncardiac surgeries because of advancements in surgical techniques and medical management. In Fontan circulation, maintaining an adequate transpulmonary gradient is essential for preserving both pulmonary blood flow and cardiac output. However, intraoperative circulatory monitoring of Fontan patients has not been es...
