Extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
We report the case of a 6-year-old child who underwent definitive conversion to the Fontan circulation using a newly conceived operative technique. This new procedure allows the operation to be performed as a totally extracardiac operation and is based on the hydrodynamic principles of the total cavopulmonary connection.

Total cavopulmonary connection to one lung

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2004
The status of pulmonary circulation is of utmost importance to the success of the modified Fontan operation. Pulmonary artery distortion, hypoplasia of the total pulmonary vascular bed, and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance are all risk factors for adverse outcome after modified Fontan operations. In cases of irreparable acquired atresia of one or

Modified technique for total cavopulmonary connection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994
The laterolateral anastomosis between the superior vena cava and the pulmonary artery trunk is presented as a modified technique for total cavopulmonary connection. This procedure was successfully performed on a 9-year-old girl, associated with the exclusion of the right atrium, for the treatment of tricuspid atresia and transposition of the great ...

Exercise Tolerance in Extracardiac Total Cavopulmonary Connection

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2009
Cardiopulmonary adaptation during exercise was compared in patients with an extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection and controls with biventricular repair of Fallot's tetralogy. Heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory frequency, and transcutaneous oxygen saturation increased with treadmill exercise intensity below grade 3 in patients who had ...

Total cavopulmonary connection via a thoracotomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2002
We report a patient who underwent a total cavopulmonary connection with an extracardiac conduit through a right thoracotomy. The thoracotomy approach was useful in circumventing possible hazardous complications at the sternal reentry for the completion of a staged Fontan due to previous mediastinitis in this patient.

Total Cavopulmonary Connection with Extraatrial Tunnel

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2002
Between April 1997 and February 2000, total cavopulmonary connection with an extraatrial tunnel was used to treat 9 cases of complicated congenital heart disease: single ventricle (4), double-outlet right ventricle (3), mitral atresia (1), and tricuspid atresia (1). There was no mortality.

Extracardiac Direct Total Cavopulmonary Connection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
We report a successful extracardiac direct total cavopulmonary connection without prosthetic materials performed in a 3-year-old boy with tricuspid atresia, infundibular pulmonary stenosis, and normally positioned great arteries. The transected pulmonary trunk was bought down posterolaterally with respect to the right atrium and was anastomosed end-to ...
