Vasopressin After the Fontan Operation.
BACKGROUND Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation is common and increases morbidity and hospital length of stay. Vasopressin (VP), a neurohypophysial hormone, has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system. The most notable is increased peripheral vascular resistance, but it may also reduce capillary leakage by tightening endothelial intercellular junctions and reducing capill...
متن کامل[Pulmonary thromboembolism after Fontan operation].
The fatal outcome in an eleven-year-old girl, one month after an extra-cardiac Fontan operation is reported. She was diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and had a Blalock Taussig shunt and a bidirectional Glenn procedure. The Fontan operation was performed using a Dacron conduit, fenestrated with a 6 mm Goretex tube. The first week after the operation she received low molecular weight heparin, the...
متن کاملTranscatheter coil occlusion of residual interatrial communications after Fontan procedure.
OBJECTIVE To assess the use of detachable coils as an alternative method to occlude interatrial communications after Fontan operations. DESIGN Descriptive clinical study of selected patients after Fontan operation with interatrial communications inappropriate for transcatheter umbrella occlusion. SETTING Tertiary paediatric cardiac referral centre. PATIENTS Seven patients after Fontan ope...
متن کاملFontan operation. Hemodynamic factors associated with postoperative outcomes.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The Fontan operation is usually the final palliative procedure in patients with univentricular heart. The objectives of this study were, firstly, to describe the clinical and haemodynamic characteristics of a group of patients with univentricular physiology who had previously been palliated with a bidirectional Glenn procedure and, secondly, to identify risk factors ...
متن کاملOutcome after a "perfect" Fontan operation.
A study was undertaken to determine the early and long-term outcomes dictated by the Fontan state per se (a state in which the force driving pulmonary blood flow is solely or largely a residue, in the systemic venous pressure, of the main ventricular chamber's contractile force) and the transition (by surgery) to it from the state of congenital heart disease under optimal conditions (after a "p...
