Norwood Procedure for Palliation of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Conduit vs Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt.
Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergo a series of operations to separate the pulmonary and systemic circulations. The first of at least 3 operations occurs in the newborn period, with a stage I palliation. The goal of stage I palliation is to provide pulmonary blood flow and create an unobstructed systemic outflow tract. Advances in surgical techniques and intraoperative and pos...
متن کاملThe prevalence of right to left shunt in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with increased pulmonary hypertension
Background: One of the important etiologies for cryptogenic stroke is paradoxical embolization secondary to Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Foramen ovale can secondarily reopen due to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) which is common among the older age. PAH is known as a frequent and life threatening complication of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PFO between COP...
متن کاملFontan Operation in a Patient with Severe Hypoplastic Right Pulmonary Artery, Single Ventricle, and Heterotaxy Syndrome.
Assessment of the pulmonary circulation status including pressure, resistance, size, and absence of anatomical distortion, is crucial to the successful Fontan operation. Most patients are found to have acceptable pulmonary arteries after previous palliation, although some degree of distortion is not uncommon. However, in rare instances, some patients have only one functioning lung with another ...
متن کاملRight ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt related complications after Norwood procedure.
OBJECTIVE The right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) shunt in the Norwood procedure (NP) for children with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome (HLHS) provides stable early hemodynamics and improves survival in many centers. However, lower pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio causes early cyanosis and may require earlier second-stage procedure. The aim of the study was to present shunt-related resu...
متن کاملRight-to-Left Shunt
The patient is a 25-year-old woman transferred to Hermann Hospital 3 days after admission to an outlying facility.
