Single Ventricle Strategy for Uhl's Anomaly of the Right Ventricle

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2010
Uhl's anomaly is a rare condition and surgical techniques are few and have had variable success. We present a novel and successful surgical technique to treat this difficult condition.

Reexpansion of previously collapsed ventricles: the slit ventricle syndrome

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1982
✓ This study reports six cases of hydrocephalic children with the “slit ventricle syndrome” who evidenced reexpansion of the ventricular system following insertion of high-resistance valves and anti-siphon devices. The authors contend that slit ventricles and subsequent ventricular coaptation can be prevented by elimination or early replacement of low ...

Pulmonary hypertension and the right ventricle in hypoxia

Experimental Physiology, 2013
•  What is the topic of this review? Studies a,contabs,longabsre reviewed showing that hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and subsequent remodelling expose the right ventricle to increased afterload, and that this is occasionally a cause of high‐altitude

Lymphangioma of the Left Ventricle

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2012
Cardiac lymphangiomas are one of the rarest types of cardiac tumors. We describe the case of a 31-year-old male with a large left ventricular lymphangioma which was totally excised on cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgical management of this rare cardiac tumor is reviewed.

Vitamin D concentration and lateral cerebral ventricle volume in older adults.

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2013
SCOPE Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an enlargement of the lateral cerebral ventricles in rodents. The effect of low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) on lateral cerebral ventricle volume has not been studied yet in humans.

Ependymomas of the Third Ventricle

Neurosurgery, 1994
Third ventricular ependymomas are rare tumors that have not been specifically examined. Four cases of these tumors are reported. The presenting symptoms included headache, ataxia, vertigo, and Parinaud's syndrome. All the patients underwent computed tomographic scanning and cerebral angiography, followed by craniotomy and microsurgical resection of the

Effect of diastolic flow patterns on the function of the left ventricle

, 2013
Direct numerical simulations are used to study the effect of intraventricular flow patterns on the pumping efficiency and the blood mixing and transport characteristics of the left ventricle. The simulations employ a geometric model of the left ventricle

Surgical Treatment of Double Inlet Ventricle ("Single Ventricle")

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1986
The surgical techniques described are the result of an evolution over a number of years in the performance of the septation operation and the modified Fontan-Kreutzer repair for patients with double inlet ventricles. Those with associated pulmonary stenosis are best palliated by a classical Blalock-Taussig or Goretex shunt if an operation is required ...
