چکیده

Recent significant improvement in surgical management of patients with univentricular palliations has resulted in an increasing number of patients with complex univentricular heart repairs surviving to heart transplantation. Heart transplantation in these patients can be challenging and may require extensive vascular reconstruction during transplantation. Herein, we describe the surgical reconstruction in a complex patient that was required prior to heart transplantation.

Staged surgical repair of functional single ventricle in infants with unobstructed pulmonary blood flow.

OBJECTIVE The infant with a functional single ventricle (SV) and unobstructed pulmonary blood flow (UPBF) requires early protection of the pulmonary vascular bed to ensure suitability for a subsequent Fontan procedure. Systemic obstruction by aortic arch obstruction, subaortic stenosis, or combination of both, has been widely recognized as an important risk factor for poor outcome in children w...

Comparison of Hybrid and Norwood Strategies in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome SURGERY | REVIEW

The Norwood-based strategy for single ventricle palliation has improved with technical innovations and refinements over the last decades; such as regional cerebral perfusion during aortic arch reconstruction [1], placement of a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) shunt rather than a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt [2, 3], and the concept of aggressive afterload reduction to maximise oxygen ...

Repair of persistent truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch.

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to analyse experience with repair of truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch. METHODS Between 1993 and 2004, eight consecutive patients underwent repair of truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch. The median age was 6.5 days (range 1-85 days) and median weight was 3.2 kg (range 2.6-4.8 kg). Five patients had type A and 3 patients had type B a...

Background: The Fontan operation is the definitive operation for palliation of complex congenital heart disease with single –ventricle physiology. The use of the extra cardiac conduit has recently been gaining popularity. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of extra cardiac conduit Fontan procedure (off-pump technique) and that of traditional technique (lateral tunnel techniqu...
