Long-term outcomes of functional single ventricles associated with heterotaxy syndrome.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2023
OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to determine the long-term surgical outcomes of patients with functional single ventricles associated with heterotaxy syndrome, risk factors for mortality, and factors associated with Fontan stage completion.

Systolic and Diastolic Function of the Fetal Single Left Ventricle

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2014
The functionally single fetal right ventricle demonstrates reduced longitudinal relative to circumferential contraction velocities and deformation, a pattern similar to the normal fetal left ventricle. Altered diastolic properties are also present, with greater reliance on atrial contraction for right ventricular filling.

Challenges of Caring for Functionally Single Ventricle Patients in Africa

World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, 2019
Surgical palliation has remarkably improved survival of functionally single ventricle (FSV) patients born in developed nations but such outcomes have not occurred in Africa. The poor care coverage for FSV patients in Africa exists within the larger sphere of deficient health care for children born with congenital heart defects (CHDs) in Africa ...

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Children With Fontan Repair of Functional Single Ventricle

Pediatrics, 1998
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the neurodevelopmental status of children after Fontan repair of functional single ventricle and to examine the relationship between cognitive function and selected patient characteristics.Study Design. Neurodevelopmental tests including the Stanford-Binet Intelligence (IQ) scale and the Developmental

Neurocognitive Outcomes for Children with Functional Single Ventricle Malformations

Pediatric Cardiology, 2007
Only 25 years ago, the diagnosis of hypoplastic left heartsyndrome was associated with certain infant or neonatalmortality. During recent decades, exciting developments inperioperative care and surgical techniques have enabledvast improvements in early survival rates as high as80–90% [6, 9, 25].

Ventricular function in the single ventricle before and after Fontan surgery

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991
To better delineate the importance of ventricular function in patients with a single ventricle and assess its relation to outcome after the Fontan procedure, 47 patients with a single ventricle were studied. Ventricular ejection fraction was estimated by radionuclide angiocardiography. Before Fontan surgery, ejection fraction was 0.57 +/- 0.10 (mean +/-

Extracardiac conduit fontan for children with heterotaxy and functionally single ventricle

Cardiology in the Young, 1998
AbstractChildren with functionally single ventricle in the setting of visceral heterotaxy (isomerism) may present a surgical challenge at the time of Fontan completion because of anomalies of systemic and pulmonary venous drainage. We have used an extracardiac conduit in this population to direct inferior caval venous blood to the pulmonary arteries ...

Evidence of impaired longitudinal strain in pre-Fontan palliation in functional single left ventricle.

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND We evaluated two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography longitudinal strain (L2DSE) in functionally single left ventricles (LV). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with functionally single LV. We divided patients into two
