Orthotopic Heart Transplantation following univentricular palliation: new challenges for the congenital cardiac surgeon

چکیده
Method 2013-2014: 23 congenital cardiac patients underwent heart transplantation. 13 of them: previous univentricular palliation: hypoplastic left heart syndrome (n = 8), dtransposition of great arteries+criss-cross-heart (n = 1), unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect (n = 1), pulmonary atresia+intact ventricular septum (n = 1) and grown-up patients (GUCH) (n = 2: 1 double-inlet-leftventricle and 1 tricuspid atresia).

Surgical strategies to facilitate heart transplantation in children after failed univentricular palliations: the role of advanced intraoperative surgical preparation.
OBJECTIVES Heart transplantation in children after univentricular palliation is a technical challenge. As the national referral centre for heart transplantation in children, we review national trends in transplantation and describe technical innovations used in the current era. METHODS Children undergoing heart transplantation were separated into patients with (i) structural congenital heart ...
متن کاملOrthotopic Heart Transplantation in Patients with Univentricular Physiology
Parallel advancements in surgical technique, preoperative and postoperative care, as well as a better understanding of physiology in patients with duct-dependent pulmonary or systemic circulation and a functional single ventricle, have led to superb results in staged palliation of most complex congenital heart disease (CHD) [1]. The Fontan procedure and its technical modifications have resulted...
متن کاملOrthotopic liver transplantation from cardiac death donors in the mouse: a new model and evaluation of cardiac death time
Objective(s): The goal of this research was to develop a mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) model from donor-after-cardiac-death (DCD) grafts. Materials and Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the sham group. The mice in the experimental group were divided into three groups according to the warm ischemia time (WIT) of liver graft: normal LTx, WIT 30 minut...
متن کاملChylopericardium following orthotopic lung transplantation.
Chylopericardium is an uncommon condition, reported to occur following routine cardiac surgery, orthotopic heart transplantation, cardiac trauma, intrathoracic tumors, or infection. It has not, to date, been reported following uncomplicated orthotopic lung transplantation. This article describes chylopericardium following bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation.
متن کاملThrombocytosis in the Setting of Isomerism and a Functionally Univentricular Heart.
Introduction Bodily isomerism, also known as heterotaxy, is a unique entity in which there is mirror imagery in various organ systems. Those with isomerism will often have congenital malformations of the heart requiring functionally univentricular palliation. Anecdotally, thrombocytosis has been noted with higher frequency in patients with isomerism. This study aimed to determine the prevalence...
