Long-term cardiopulmonary exercise capacity after modified Fontan operation.
OBJECTIVE Early circuit separation enhances the long-term success of Fontan haemodynamics. To test this hypothesis, we analysed the postoperative cardiopulmonary capacity in children and adults. PATIENTS Spiroergometry was performed at least twice in 43 patients with a median age of 14 (range: 7-43) years, with a median time interval of 4.6 (1.1-10.4) years between early and late testing. Twe...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory responses to exercise after the Fontan operation.
O riginally described for the treatment of tricuspid atresia, the concept of ventricular exclusion and direction of systemic venous blood from the right atrium immediately into the pulmonary artery has been applied to a variety of forms of single ventricle. Theoretically, this operation should eliminate the right-to-left shunt and decrease the volume of systemic ventricular blood flow. Fontan's...
متن کاملVasopressin After the Fontan Operation.
BACKGROUND Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation is common and increases morbidity and hospital length of stay. Vasopressin (VP), a neurohypophysial hormone, has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system. The most notable is increased peripheral vascular resistance, but it may also reduce capillary leakage by tightening endothelial intercellular junctions and reducing capill...
متن کامل[Pulmonary thromboembolism after Fontan operation].
The fatal outcome in an eleven-year-old girl, one month after an extra-cardiac Fontan operation is reported. She was diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and had a Blalock Taussig shunt and a bidirectional Glenn procedure. The Fontan operation was performed using a Dacron conduit, fenestrated with a 6 mm Goretex tube. The first week after the operation she received low molecular weight heparin, the...
متن کاملExercise capacity and mid-term survival in patients with tricuspid atresia and complex congenital cardiac malformations after modified Fontan-operation.
OBJECTIVE Continued follow-up of the Fontan population group is mandatory in order to evaluate the best approach for long term treatment. We studied exercise capacity and survival in patients with either right atrial to right ventricular (Fontan-Bjoerk, RA-RV) anastomosis or right atrial to pulmonary artery (RA-PA) connection. METHODS Between January 1980 and December 1995 Fontan-Bjoerk modif...
