Heart transplantation in single-ventricle physiology with failed fontan circulation
Methods Between 1986 and 2011, 179 children underwent heart transplantation for cardiomyopathy and end-stage congenital heart disease. Fifteen patients had single-ventricle physiology and underwent Fontan procedure. Five patients (mean age 6.6±1.2, range 2-14, years old) had failed Fontan circulation. Interval between Fontan procedure and failing circulation was 8-14 years. Indications for hear...
متن کاملSingle ventricle physiology: surgical options, indications and outcomes.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Among the most frequently encountered congenital heart malformations are those with so-called single ventricle physiology, in which there is only one ventricle to pump blood to the pulmonary and systemic vascular beds, respectively. Long-term survival is possible, based on the principle of right heart bypass, whereby the ventricle pumps blood only to the systemic circuit, wher...
متن کاملOrthotopic heart transplantation for failing single ventricle physiology.
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of incremental risk factors for early mortality in children undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) for failing single ventricle physiology. METHODS Between 1988 and 2002, 25 patients (mean age 9.3+/-7.1 years) underwent OHT for complex congenital heart disease (CHD) with a functional right (15 patients) or left (10 patients) single ventricle. Palliative staging...
متن کاملCurrent management of infants and children with single ventricle anatomy.
Children with single ventricle anatomy are among the most complicated and challenging patients encountered in pediatric cardiology. Current management involves staged surgical procedures, beginning with neonatal palliation and followed by a bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis in infancy and culminating in the Fontan procedure. The Fontan procedure, despite separating the circulation, remain...
متن کاملRudimentary ventricle in univentricular physiology.
We thank Yurekli et al. [1] for their comment. In our study, we chose to evaluate ventricular function in patients with functionally single-ventricle hearts by echocardiographic analysis of the main systemic pumping chamber without regard to the contractile effects of the diminutive ventricle. We showed that natriuretic peptide levels decreased during the treatment protocol for UVH [2]. This re...
