Comparison of lateral tunnel and extracardiac conduit Fontan procedure.
The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of lateral tunnel (LT) and extracardiac conduit (ECC) Fontan procedures at a single institution. From April 1995 to December 2006, 165 Fontan procedures were performed (67 LT, 98 ECC). Pre-, intra- and postoperative variable values were compared between two different techniques. Operative mortality was 5 (3 LT, 2 ECC). Immediate postoperativ...
متن کاملConversion 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 کاملResults of an extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation.
OBJECTIVE Extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation has the theoretical advantage of growth potentiality of the extracardiac tunnels. The mid-term results of this technique and morphologic change of the lateral tunnel were studied. METHODS Clinical data were reviewed in 42 patients who underwent extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation between November...
متن کاملOptimal conduit size for extracardiac Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Lack of conduit growth potential and thrombogenicity are the main drawbacks of the extracardiac Fontan operation (ECFO). Optimal size of the conduit according to the patients age and inferior vena cava diameter has not been established. OBJECTIVES We set out to ascertain whether the optimal dimensions of the conduit could be determined before an ECFO. METHODS Actual and expected ...
متن کاملTransvenous approach to pacemaker lead implantation for sinus node dysfunction after extracardiac lateral tunnel Fontan conduit placement
Introduction Sinus node dysfunction (SND) affects 9% of patients with single-ventricle physiology that are palliated via the Fontan procedure, and pacemaker implantation has become the most common cardiac procedure in this population. It has been shown that in addition to the increased procedural risk inherent to open surgery, the epicardial approach is associated with higher pacing thresholds,...
