Vascular Changes in Pulmonic Stenosis and Tetralogy of Fallot Studied
نویسنده
چکیده
were confirmed in both isolated pulmonary stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot but were more marked in pulmonic stenosis. Intimal fibrosis in the pulmonary vessels on the other hand gave the impression of being greater in the cases of tetralogy of Fallot than in pulmonic stenosis even within the same age group, but this difference is not statistically significant. Intimal fibrosis was even more pronounced in tetralogy of Fallot with a previous shunt operation. The intimal fibrosis is thought to be based on organization of thrombi. The explanations for the medial atrophy and the widening of the arterial lumen

متن کاملEarly post operative mortality of Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...

The recent introduction by Blalock (1) of an operative procedure for the successful treatment of the tetralogy of Fallot has focused considerable attention on the various manifestations of this condition. It has also indicated the need of more information to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis, as well as in the preoperative and postoperative treatment of the patients with this disease. The pres...
متن کاملThree-dimensional changes in regional right ventricular curvature and function in tetralogy of fallot
Background Many patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have residual pulmonic stenosis and/or regurgitation after surgical repair, leading to maladaptive right ventricular (RV) remodeling. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently the gold standard for evaluating RV size and function. Analysis of regional volume and three-dimensional (3D) curvature of the RV from CMR images may prov...
