Staged surgical repair of functional single ventricle in infants with unobstructed pulmonary blood flow.
OBJECTIVE The infant with a functional single ventricle (SV) and unobstructed pulmonary blood flow (UPBF) requires early protection of the pulmonary vascular bed to ensure suitability for a subsequent Fontan procedure. Systemic obstruction by aortic arch obstruction, subaortic stenosis, or combination of both, has been widely recognized as an important risk factor for poor outcome in children w...
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 کاملSingle-stage surgical repair of airway gastric fistula after esophagectomy
Airway gastric fistula (AGF) is a rare but catastrophic complication after esophagectomy. Surgical repair with viable tissue interposed between the airway and alimentary tracts remains the definitive treatment. However, it is challenging for surgeons, and only anecdotally described in sporadic case reports due to the complexity of the techniques necessary for successful surgical intervention. H...
متن کاملTorsional mechanics of the left ventricle in patients after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to test the hypothesis that alteration of left ventricular (LV) torsional mechanics occurs in patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and is associated with right ventricular (RV) volume overload and changes in LV configuration. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-five TOF patients aged 19.0 ± 8.1 years and 27 age-matched healthy controls were studied. The LV and ...
