DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data in patients operated on between 1972 and 1986 (follow up 5-19 years (mean 12 years)). PATIENTS All 60 patients undergoing a Fontan type procedure at the National Heart Hospital, London, during the study period (mean age (SD) 12.3 (6.8) years). RESULTS Posto...
متن کاملAntithrombotic therapy after cerebral hemorrhages.
Cerebral Hemorrhages To the Editor: Oral anticoagulation (OAC) generally increases the likelihood of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). When there is an indication for OAC in a patient with a history of ICH, the clinician is in the difficult situation of assessing risks and benefits of OAC. In the absence of data from clinical trials, Eckman et al1 have used a decision-analysis model to compare th...
متن کاملAntithrombotic Therapy After Peripheral Angioplasty
Peripheral arterial disease affects approximately 12% of adults and 20% of adults over 70 years (Hiatt et al., 1995). This disease results from one or more lesions in the arterial system of the lower extremity that restrict blood flow. The restriction of blood flow during ambulation may cause intermittent claudication, i.e. muscular pain due to lack of blood supply. About one fifth of people wi...
متن کاملTHERAPY AND PREVENTION SURGERY Dynamics of right heart flow in patients after Fontan procedure
In seven patients who underwent Fontan procedures but in whom no valves were inserted, dynamics of right heart flow were evaluated with the use of a catheter-tipped velocity transducer, pulsed Doppler echocardiography, and angiocardiography. Right atrial (RA) contraction caused a forward flow to the pulmonary artery (PA) and a backward flow to the inferior vena cava (IVC). Backward flow to the ...
متن کاملArterial stiffness in adult patients after Fontan procedure
OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is a risk factor of atherosclerosis and cardio-vascular complications. The aim of the study was to determine whether peripheral vascular function might be an early marker of impaired health status in patients with a single ventricle after Fontan procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty five consecutive adults (11 women and 14 men) aged 24.7 ± 6.2 years aft...
