Antenatal and postnatal sonographic imaging findings of a single ventricle presenting as double outlet right ventricle with rudimentary left ventricle and single atrium

Russian Open Medical Journal, 2015
Congenital heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Single ventricle is a rare finding and usually of left ventricular morphology. We present here interesting antenatal and postnatal echocardiographic findings of a baby having a rare ...

Transplantation in the single ventricle population [PDF]

Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018
The single ventricle patient population comprises the most complex cohort presenting to the cardiac transplant team, in terms of demographics, anatomic substrate, and unique physiology. It is also the most rapidly growing diagnostic group presenting for heart transplantation.

Septation of the single ventricle: Revisited [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
Septation of a single ventricle into 2 functioning ventricles can provide an alternative to the Fontan operation. However, early experiences with septation reported unacceptable morbidity and mortality. The present study selected only those patients with large volume-overloaded hearts, 2 well-functioning atrioventricular valves, and an absence of ...

Long-term survival in a case of unoperated single ventricle

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2016
Single ventricle is a rare congenital heart dis-ease, typically diagnosed with dyspnea and cyanosis. The number of patients who reach adulthood without having un-dergone surgical treatment is limited due to poor prognosis.

The Pulmonary Circulation in the Single Ventricle Patient

Children, 2017
In recent decades, survival of children with complex congenital heart disease has improved considerably. Specifically, children with a variety of congenital heart defects resulting in ‘single ventricle’ physiology can now undergo palliative surgery that ...

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]

, 1979
The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...

The Role of Myocardial Strain Imaging in the Pre- and Post-Operative Assessment of Patients with Single Ventricle

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
The term “single ventricle” refers to a wide range of cardiac structural and functional abnormalities which cause the morphologically right or left ventricle to be hypoplastic or functionally inadequate.
