The Effect of Additional Pulmonary Blood Flow on Timing of the Total Cavopulmonary Connection

, 2012
Background. The staged Fontan procedure is used to palliate functionally univentricular hearts. The effect of additional pulmonary blood flow combined with a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt in these patients remains a controversial subject.

Early Versus Later Bicavopulmonary Connection in Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The bicavopulmonary connection (BCPC) is a crucial palliation for single‐ventricle physiology, improving haemodynamics by alleviating ventricular volume overload. While traditionally performed at 4–6 months, the optimal timing is debated, with a trend toward earlier intervention to reduce interstage mortality.

Conversion of atriopulmonary Fontan to extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection improves cardiopulmonary function.

, 2006
Experimental studies showed that extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection provides superior hemodynamics than atriopulmonary Fontan. METHODS:: We prospectively assessed the impact of conversion of atriopulmonary Fontan to extracardiac total ...

A Multicenter, Open‐Label Study to Assess the Safety of Nebulized Tissue Plasminogen Activator for the Acute Treatment of Pediatric Plastic Bronchitis: The PLATyPuS Trial

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 677-687, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare complication of surgically palliated congenital heart disease (CHD). Fibrin casts obstruct airways and can cause respiratory distress. There are no therapeutics approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat PB, but inhaled tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) has been

Managing the Giant: A Novel Approach in Orthotopic Heart Transplantation With Extreme Left Atrial Enlargement

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This case report highlights an innovative surgical approach in orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) for a patient with the largest recorded giant left atrium, measuring a biplanar volume of 1906 mL. The patient, a 63‐year‐old man with severe heart failure and a history of mitral and aortic valve replacements, presented with atrial ...

Relationships of maternal hemodynamics in the third trimester with fetal umbilical artery doppler indices, estimated fetal weight and birth weight in women with and without congenital heart disease

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 170, Issue 1, Page 361-369, July 2025.
Abstract Objective To compare differences in maternal hemodynamics, measured non‐invasively by impedance cardiography and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)—at rest and with high‐intensity exercise—between pregnant women with corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) and low‐risk (LR) pregnant controls, and to correlate these findings with umbilical ...

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 199, Issue 2, Page 51-71, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena
