transcatheter closure of fenestration after modified fontan operation in children
background: fenestration in the modified fontan operation allows right-to-left shunting, which reduces the fontan pathway pressure and improves cardiac output. however, on account of the fact that persistent right-to-left shunting results in cyanosis and paradoxical emboli, fenestration closure is recommended after recovery from the fontan operation. methods: this study recruited 3 patients who...
متن کاملTranscatheter Closure of Fenestration with Detachable Coils After the Fontan Operation
We report our experience in 13 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of Fontan fenestration with the Cook detachable coils. These patients underwent the extracardiac type Fontan operation with a short conduit fenestration (n=7) or lateral tunnel type with a punch-hole fenestration (n=6). Fenestration closure was done at the mean age of 5.1+/-2.4 yr, average of 32 months after the Fontan ...
متن کاملBaffle fenestration with subsequent transcatheter closure. Modification of the Fontan operation for patients at increased risk.
Ventricular dysfunction, elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, and residual distal pulmonary artery distortion contribute to early mortality after a Fontan operation; they may be transient or reversible. A baffle fenestration, allowing right-to-left shunting, maintains cardiac output and limits right atrial pressure. A baffle fenestration was surgically created at the time of a modified Fonta...
متن کاملLate status of Fontan patients with persistent surgical fenestration.
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to determine the effects of creating a systemic-to-pulmonary venous atrial-level communication (fenestration) at the time of the Fontan procedure on late outcomes. BACKGROUND Fenestrations are frequently performed during Fontan procedures, but late consequences are not well described. METHODS Patient characteristics were compared between those with and w...
متن کاملRurality and event-free survival in patients with heart failure.
BACKGROUND Evidence of health disparities between urban and rural populations usually favors urban dwellers. The impact of rurality on heart failure (HF) outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVE We compared event-free survival between HF patients living in urban and rural areas. METHODS In this longitudinal study, 136 patients with HF (male, 70%; age, mean ± SD 61 ± 11 years; New York Heart Associati...
