Atrioventricular conduction tissues in univentricular hearts of left ventricular type.
Univentricular heart of left ventricular type is defined as the condition in which the entirety of atrial inputs is committed to a main chamber exhibiting trabecular pattern of left ventricular type, usually in the presence of another chamber in the ventricular mass which has a right ventricular trabecular pattern. This condition can occur with two atrioventricular valves, a common atrioventric...
متن کامل“Functionally” Univentricular Hearts: Impact of Pre-Natal Diagnosis
Within the last few decades the pre-natal echocardiographic diagnosis of congenital heart defects has made substantial progresses, particularly for the identification of complex malformation. "Functionally" univentricular hearts categorize a huge variety of heart malformations. Since no one of the patients with these congenital heart defects can ever undergo a bi-ventricular type of repair, ear...
متن کاملCurrent treatment and prognosis in children with functionally univentricular hearts.
For more than 30 years Fontan-type procedures have been performed for surgical treatment in patients with functionally univentricular hearts. Advances in proper patient selection, staging of the Fontan palliation, and modifications of the surgical technique resulted in continuous improvement of the surgical results during the past two decades. However, increasing experience with medium term and...
متن کاملIs the extracardiac conduit the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts? The extracardiac conduit is not the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts.
There is, perhaps, no disease entity that better exemplifies the complexities, challenges, and creative innovations characteristic of the evolution in congenital heart disease care than the univentricular heart. The univentricular heart encompasses an array of uncommon and severe inborn cardiac malformations that share a similar physiology, with pulmonary and systemic venous return predominantl...
متن کاملIs the extracardiac conduit the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts? The extracardiac conduit is the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts.
Fontan palliation for single-ventricle patients was first described in 1971.1 The original approach was in the form of a classic atriopulmonary Fontan connection, bypassing the nonfunctional right ventricle. After recognizing the long-term complication of an atriopulmonary connection (right atrial dilation, arrhythmias, and thrombus formation), modifications have been made. The atriopulmonary c...
