Sildenafil 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 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 کاملNeurohormonal activation late after cavopulmonary connection.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with cavopulmonary connection have higher levels of vasoactive/water-salt regulating hormones and if so, whether hormone levels are related to postoperative haemodynamics and postoperative follow up. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS 20 patients (New York Heart Association functional class I-II), mean age 11 years (...
متن کاملEstablishment of total cavopulmonary connection without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
OBJECTIVE To minimize deleterious postoperative influences of cardiopulmonary bypass on the pulmonary circulation immediately after the Fontan type procedure, total cavopulmonary connection was achieved without use of cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS Since April 1996, 15 patients including five patients with visceral heterotaxy, in whom no intracardiac procedure was needed, have undergone this...
