Tricuspid Atresia with Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow
a finding not duly emphasized in previous reports. Comparison of the two groups revealed significant clinical and laboratory differences. Group II patients typically presented with severe congestive heart failure and expired within the first 2 months of life. Group I patients usually presented with mild congestive heart failure which responded to therapy. Five of the latter demonstrated progres...
متن کاملResults of systemic-to-pulmonary artery anastomosis for tricuspid atresia with reduced pulmonary blood flow.
Fifty-six patients with tricuspid atresia and decreased pulmonary blood flow received a systemic-to-pulmonary artery anastomosis as a preliminary operation. Thirty-five had a Waterston shunt, 12 a Blalock-Taussig anastomosis, and nine various other procedures. The age at operation ranged from 2 days to 10 years (median 4.5 months). Pulmonary atresia was present in eight newborn infants. Four pa...
متن کاملTricuspid and pulmonic valve echoes in tricuspid and pulmonary atresia.
An echocardiographic pattern of normal tricuspid valve motion in a patient with tricuspid atresia, and pulmonic valve motion in a patient with transposition of the great vessels and pulmonary atresia were documented. The recordings of the valve motion resulted in an initial erroneous diagnosis. Although M-mode echocardiography is very useful for the initial diagnostic evaluation of critically i...
متن کاملSurgical management of competing pulmonary blood flow affects survival before Fontan/Kreutzer completion in patients with tricuspid atresia type I.
OBJECTIVES To determine the association between surgical management of pulmonary blood flow (PBF) at initial and staged procedures with survival to Fontan/Kreutzer operation (Fontan) in patients with tricuspid atresia. METHODS Infants aged <3 months with tricuspid atresia type I (n = 303) were enrolled from 34 institutions (1999-2013). Among those who underwent surgical intervention (n = 302)...
متن کاملTricuspid Atresia
Left ventricular dimensions and contractility were determined by echocardiography in 33 patients with tricuspid atresia in 1985 and again in 1988. Eight patients remained palliated throughout the 3-year period; neither the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (153±15% of normal vs. 157+19%o, p=NS) nor a load-independent index of contractility (rate-corrected velocity of shortening [VCFc]/end...
