Preoperative single ventricle function determines early outcome after second-stage palliation of single ventricle heart
BACKGROUND Second-stage palliation with hemi-Fontan or bidirectional Glenn procedures has improved the outcomes of patients treated for single-ventricle heart disease. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze risk factors for death after second-stage palliation of single-ventricle heart and to compare therapeutic results achieved with the hemi-Fontan and bidirectional Glenn procedur...
متن کاملEmergency department use after stage II palliation for children with single ventricle lesions.
BACKGROUND Infants born with a single cardiac ventricle require a 3-stage surgical palliation performed during the first few years of life for long-term survival. We aimed to determine the extent to which the emergency department services were used between the second and third surgical stages. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent stage II palliation at ...
متن کاملHybrid versus Norwood strategies for single-ventricle palliation.
BACKGROUND Hybrid and Norwood strategies differ substantially in terms of stage II palliative procedures. We sought to compare these strategies with an emphasis on survival and reintervention after stage II and subsequent Fontan completion. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 110 neonates with functionally single-ventricle physiology who underwent stage I palliation between 2004 and 2010, 75 (69%) infants...
متن کاملSimultaneous complex single ventricle palliation and tracheoplasty for heterotaxy syndrome.
Although isomerism of the bronchial tree is an integral part of hetrotaxy syndrome, the association of congenital tracheal stenosis is rare in this group of disorders, and it has not yet been thoroughly described in the literature. This condition is potentially life-threatening and precludes single ventricle palliation. This report presents the case of a 5-month old infant with symptomatic cong...
متن کاملPredictive modeling of the virtual Hemi-Fontan operation for second stage single ventricle palliation: two patient-specific cases.
Single ventricle hearts are congenital cardiovascular defects in which the heart has only one functional pumping chamber. The treatment for these conditions typically requires a three-staged operative process where Stage 1 is typically achieved by a shunt between the systemic and pulmonary arteries, and Stage 2 by connecting the superior venous return to the pulmonary circulation. Surgically, t...
