Energetic performance analysis of staged palliative surgery in tricuspid atresia using vector flow mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Staged palliative surgery markedly shifts the balance of volume load on a single ventricle and pulmonary vascular bed. Blalock-Taussig shunt necessitates a single ventricle eject blood to both the systemic and pulmonary circulation. On the contrary, bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt release the single ventricle from pulmonary circulation. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of tricuspid atresia patient who underwent first palliative surgery and second palliative surgery. Volume loading condition was assessed by energetic parameters (energy loss, kinetic energy) intraoperatively using vector flow mapping. These energetic parameters can simply indicate the volume loading condition. CONCLUSION Vector flow mapping was useful tool for monitoring volume loading condition in congenital heart disease surgery.

Truncus arteriosus, tricuspid atresia and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage: a unique form of univentricular heart.
We present the first reported case of truncus arteriosus, tricuspid atresia and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into a retro-aortic innominate vein in a neonate in whom successful palliation was performed using a two-staged procedure. An early repair after presentation along with a re-routing of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage at the time of the second stage should be undertaken...

Background. The Fontan operation is the usual goal of therapy for children with tricuspid atresia. The influences of morphology and different management strategies on survival and subsequent suitability for this procedure are crucial but unstudied in an unselected population during the Fontan era. Methods and Results. The fates of 237 consecutive infants with tricuspid atresia were reviewed (19...

متن کاملSurgical management of tricuspid atresia.
Tricuspid atresia is one of the less common forms of congenital heart disease. The results of palliative surgery in 72 children are presented. Cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography are essential for precise definition of the anomaly. There is a 20% incidence of obstruction at atrial septal level. Closed atrial septostomy is of value in such cases in infancy. In most there is a reduced p...
متن کاملStaged Fontan's operation for unguarded tricuspid orifice with pulmonary atresia.
We report a rare case of unguarded tricuspid orifice with pulmonary atresia, which is devoid of any guarding valvular tissue at tricuspid annulus. A left Blalock-Taussig shunt was constructed on the 17th day of life. At 4 years of age, a bidirectional Glenn's operation was performed for the further growth of the pulmonary bed and the volume reduction of the left ventricle. Finally, an extracard...
