Pulmonary and caval flow dynamics after total cavopulmonary connection.
OBJECTIVE To assess flow dynamics after total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Aarhus University Hospital. PATIENTS Seven patients (mean age 9 (4-18) years) who had previously undergone a lateral tunnel TCPC mean 2 (0. 3-5) years earlier. INTERVENTIONS Pressure recordings (cardiac catheterisation), flow volume, and temporal changes of flow in the la...
متن کاملSildenafil before total cavopulmonary connection.
The surgical palliation first described by Fontan and Baudet 1 as Fontan-type operation or total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) is based on a connection between the systemic venous system and the pulmonary artery tree, excluding the pumping function of the main ventricle. Under these circumstances, the main ventricular chamber acts as a single ventricle, supplying anterograde flow and aspirati...
متن کاملThe total cavopulmonary connection resistance: a significant impact on single ventricle hemodynamics at rest and exercise.
Little is known about the impact of the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) on resting and exercise hemodynamics in a single ventricle (SV) circulation. The aim of this study was to elucidate this mechanism using a lumped parameter model of the SV circulation. Pulmonary vascular resistance (1.96+/-0.80 WU) and systemic vascular resistances (18.4+/-7.2 WU) were obtained from catheterization da...
متن کاملExtracardiac conduit in total cavopulmonary connection
Objective: This study evaluates a new technique of an extracardiac conduit in total cavopulmonary connection in complex congenital heart disease. Methods: Between May 2000 and October 2002, 18 extracardiac conduit surgeries were performed. The patients’ weights ranged from 11 to 29 kilograms, the ages ranged from 1 to 12 years old and 10 patients were male. There were eight patients with tricus...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of rest and exercise hemodynamics in patients with total cavopulmonary connection.
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of a total cavopulmonary connection on the main hemodynamic quantities, both at rest and during exercise, when compared with normal biventricular circulation. The analysis was performed by means of a mathematical model of the cardiovascular system. The model incorporates the main parameters of systemic and pulmonary circulation, the pulsat...
