Bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with right ventricular outflow patency: The impact of pulsatility on pulmonary endothelial function [PDF]

, 2001
Objective: Although in vitro studies have suggested the importance of flow pulsatility in endothelial function, few reports have focused on pulmonary endothelial function under decreased pulsatile flow after a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with or ...

Outcomes of bidirectional Glenn surgery done without prior cardiac catheterization

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022
Background Cardiac catheterization is usually done routinely in patients with univentricular hearts before palliative Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with physiological univentricular

Fontan circulation has improved life expectancy for infants born with complex heart disease over the last 50 years but has also resulted in significant morbidity

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 11-16, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The prognosis for infants born with complex heart disease improved dramatically with the introduction of the Fontan circulation 50 years ago. With today's carefully designed and staged operations to a Fontan circulation, life expectancy has increased and most children will survive into adult life.

Survival after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis: Analysis of preoperative risk factors [PDF]

, 2007
ObjectivePrognostic factors for survival after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis for functionally single ventricle are not well defined. We analyzed preoperative hemodynamic and echocardiographic data to determine risk factors for death or ...

Current state of the art in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart condition in which a neonate is born with an underdeveloped left ventricle and associated structures. Without palliative interventions, HLHS is fatal.

Long-term outcomes of patients with single ventricle who do not undergo Fontan palliation

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2023
Background: Patients with single ventricle (SV) without Fontan palliation are uncommon, and their long-term outcomes remain unclear. Methods: Retrospective study of 35 adult patients with SV without Fontan from two tertiary centers.

Factors influencing arterial oxygenation early after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt without additional sources of pulmonary blood flow [PDF]

, 2000
Objectives: Although the arterial oxygen saturation after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunting should theoretically be homogeneous if additional pulmonary flow is obliterated, the arterial oxygen saturation has been found to vary in clinical practice ...

Energetic performance analysis of staged palliative surgery in tricuspid atresia using vector flow mapping

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2017
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.

Impact of home monitoring program on interstage mortality after the Norwood procedure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
ObjectiveWhile early outcome after the Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome has improved, interstage mortality until bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) remains a concern.

Adverse impact of univentricular pacing for the patient with functional single ventricle: successful conversion to cardiac resynchronization therapy

Surgical Case Reports, 2020
Background In a Fontan candidate, univentricular pacing may cause delay in interventricular conduction, which induces asynchronous contraction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is expected to be an effective mode of therapy in such a case.
