A simplified method for quantitating left-to-right shunts from arterial dilution curves.

A simplified method for quantitating left-to-right shunts from arterial dilution curves.

This report presents a new, simple and reliable method of quantitating left-to-right shunts from arterial dilution surves. When indicatior (e,g., indocyanine green) is injected centrally (right venticle or pulmonary artery) and blood is withdrawn rapidly from either the aorta or other central systemic artery, in the presence of a left-to-right shunt to recorded indicator-dilution curve usually ...

A new method utilizing indicator-dilution technics for estimation of left-to-right shunts in infants.

Left-to-Right Shunts

Contrary to the opinion of French pediatrician HenriLouis that isolated ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are universally well tolerated, the subsequent discoveries of Eisenmenger, Abbott, Wood, and others have taught us that the prognosis of left-to-right shunt lesions is not always benign. After more than a century of research, as pediatric cardiologists and congenital heart surgeons, we clai...
