Coarctation of the Aorta with Ventricular Septal Defect
نویسنده
چکیده
From 1965 to 1974, 53 children with coarctation of the aorta (COA) and an associated ventricular septal defect (VSD) underwent cardiac catheterization. Thirty-one patients presented with congestive heart failure. Twenty-five of 27 patients (92%) who underwent cardiac catheterization under age 3 months had either systemic hypertension, a systolic gradient across the coarctation greater than 20 mm Hg or both. Pulmonary hypertension was present in all 25 patients. COA repair was performed in 39 patients and there were seven

A case report of variant scimitar syndrome
Background: Scimitar syndrome (SS) or congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome is a rare anomaly, most commonly including partial pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava, right lung hypoplasia, dextroposition of the heart, and anomalous systemic arterial supply from aorta or one of its branches to the right lung. Case report: A 10-day-old female infant was referred to our hospital...
متن کاملCoarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect in infancy: left ventricular volume and management issues.
Combined coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect. The association of coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect resulting in congestive heart failure in early infancy is not uncommon. The underlying hemodynamic derangements resulting from this combination of lesions depend on a multitude of factors: 1) extent and severity of obstruction of the coarcted segment; 2) siz...
متن کاملClinical, Pathologic, and Hemodynamic Considerations
IN COARCTATION of the aorta, the coexistence of a defect of the ventricular septum tends to prevent development of hypertension in the upper systemic circulation by permitting blood from the left ventricle to pass into the pulmonary circulation. This tendency is accentuated but not fundamentally altered if there is also a patent ductus arteriosus opening into the aorta proximal to the coarctati...
متن کاملSurgical management of coarctation of aorta with ventricular septal defect. Multivariate analysis.
Optimal management of coarctation with ventricular septal defect is difficult. Should one treat the coarctation, the ventricular septal defect, or both? This dilemma was investigated by reviewing 39 successive patients, aged less than 4 months, undergoing coarctation repair without pulmonary artery banding. Twelve hospital deaths occurred. Ventricular septal defect size was graded "blind" accor...
متن کاملMorphology of ventricular septal defect associated with coarctation of aorta.
It is now well established that the morphology of the ventricular septal defect associated with interrupted aortic arch is such as to compromise blood flow to the ascending aorta. Though there is some evidence that a similar mechanism may be operative in coarctation with ventricular septal defect, we are unaware of any necropsy study of this hypothesis. We therefore studied 25 hearts from the H...
