Conversion of atriopulmonary or lateral atrial tunnel cavopulmonary anastomosis to extracardiac conduit Fontan modification.
OBJECTIVE Obstruction of the atriopulmonary anastomosis or the lateral atrial tunnel cavopulmonary anastomosis in the Fontan circulation for univentricular physiology may result in dilation of the right atrium or the right atrial free wall that is incorporated in the lateral atrial tunnel, respectively. Secondary detrimental sequelae may consist of supraventricular dysrhythmias, thromboembolism...
متن کاملInstantaneous pressure-flow velocity relations of systemic venous return in patients with univentricular circulation.
OBJECTIVE To assess the pressure and flow velocity relations and respiratory variability of the systemic venous and hepatic venous return in patients with univentricular circulation. PATIENTS 15 selected patients who had undergone cavopulmonary anastomosis (10) or atriopulmonary anastomosis (5). Mean age at operation was 55.1 months (range 9 to 145). Studies were done at 75.5 (32.6) months (m...
متن کاملInitial syncope associated with alternating attacks of supraventricular tachycardia and atrioventricular block long after surgical correction of tricuspid atresia.
The Fontan procedure has become a generic term to define a surgical procedure that orients the systemic venous return directly to the pulmonary arteries, and has been used as a palliative operation for pulmonary atresia, tricuspid atresia, double inlet ventricle and complex single ventricle. The earliest type of Fontan procedure was a simple atriopulmonary anastomosis between the right atrium a...
متن کاملModified Fontan conversion: an alternative technique for grown-up patients
Method A 28-year-old woman (tricuspid atresia/Blalock-Taussing shunt) underwent atriopulmonary Fontan procedure at the age of 3. At 25-year follow-up, she developed a progressive worsening in functional class and palpitations, despite antiarrhythmic treatment. Imaging studies showed no stenosis in the atriopulmonary connection. She underwent Fontan conversion. The right atrium (RA) was extremel...
متن کاملTotal cavopulmonary and atriopulmonary connections are associated with reduced heart rate variability.
AIM To determine whether cavopulmonary connections are associated with abnormalities of heart rate variability. METHODS Heart rate variability was studied by 24 hour Holter monitoring in 39 patients (mean (SD) age 12.2 (4.1) years) who underwent cavopulmonary connection operations (partial in 12, total in 13, and atriopulmonary in 14). Two control groups were used: 18 healthy children (11.1 (...
