Prophylactic Pulmonary Artery Reduction in a Young Female with Severe Pulmonary Hypertension from Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of severely dilated pulmonary artery (PA) associated with severe pulmonary hypertension from congenital heart disease remains controversial, primarily due to its rare nature and concern for perioperative unpredictable complications. Herein, we report a 25 year-old female with a severely dilated PA (up to 73 mm), who was successfully treated by a PA graft replacement by creating a Y-shaped conduit using a 28 mm hemashield tube in the main PA and a 20 mm hemashield tube in both proximal parts of the branch PA.

We describe the first application in Greece of a telemetrically adjustable device for pulmonary artery banding (FloWatch-PAB device) in a 2-month-old baby, weighing 3.6 kg, with congenital heart disease (complete atrioventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension). The surgical application of the device was easy, the postoperative course of the patient was smooth, and the telemetric reg...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES As cardiac septal defects are frequently associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, hemodynamic assessment is essential before deciding on surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for assessing cardiac shunts and for quantifying pulmonary artery systolic pressure in patients with cardiac septal defects....

Electrocardiographic-gated 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was performed on a 30-year-old man who presented with a complete endocardial cushion defect (ECD) and severe pulmonary hypertension diagnosed when he was 3 years old. Multiplanar reconstruction image showed the common atrium without an atrial septum, a large ventricular septum defect, and a small right ventricle due to...

A 42-year-old woman with Down syndrome had been diagnosed with an atrioventricular septal defect when she was an infant. The family refused a surgical intervention at that time. Three months ago, she was urgently admitted to our center with an uncontrolled non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS), with extensive repolarization alterations and elevated troponin T. Because of he...

A 24-year-old patient was admitted for dyspnoea and syncope. He had a previous history of complete atrio-ventricular septal defect and trisomy 21. At the age of 6 months, in 1984, cardiac catheterization revealed a quasi-systemic pulmonary arterial hypertension with a bidirectional shunt corresponding to an Eisenmenger syndrome. Corrective cardiac surgery was not performed at this time because ...
