Rare venous connection causing severe hypoxia after Fontan operation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a rare case of cyanosis following the Fontan operation with right-to-left shunting at the venous level, that is, an azygos venous to pulmonary venous connection. Few cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to azygos vein have been reported; however, there have been no reports describing the connection from azygos vein to pulmonary vein, which results in desaturation after Fontan operation. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) was a useful tool to depict this vascular malformation.

Angiographic demonstration of incoordinate motion of the ventricular wall after the Fontan operation.
OBJECTIVE To study regional wall motion of the systemic ventricle in patients after the Fontan operation. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Systemic ventricular angiograms of 15 patients after the Fontan operation and of 11 unoperated patients with a univentricular atrioventricular connection were digitised frame by frame. Strict criteria for abnormal wall motion were used so that minor abnormalities were ...
متن کاملModifications of the Fontan operation applicable to patients with left atrioventricular valve atresia or single atrioventricular valve.
Two modifications of the Fontan operation are proposed for prevention of pulmonary venous obstruction in patients with left atrioventricular valve atresia or single atrioventricular valve. In the first technique, a bipedicled flap of right atrial wall is used to separate systemic and pulmonary venous drainages; an atriopulmonary connection is constructed by use of the right atrial appendage, an...

Results CSOA was preoperatively diagnosed in 2 of 6 patients by late phase coronary angiography findings, intraoperatively in 3, and postoperatively in 1. Coronary venous drainage was through the left superior vena cava (LSVC) to innominate vein in 3, through Thevesian veins to right atrium in 2, and both in 1. 3 patients needed surgical treatment without any mortalities. The first patient with...

Two cases are presented. In the first patient (8-year-old boy) after Glenn operation without closure of pulmonary outflow from the common ventricle (SV-PA) despite transcatheter SV-PA closure increased mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) (22 mm Hg) remained. After 6 months of sildenafil therapy he was catheterized again. His mPAP dropped to 10 mm Hg and a Fontan operation was subsequently per...
متن کاملCASE STUDY Reversal of protein losing enteropathy with prednisone in adults with modified Fontan operations: long term palliation or bridge to cardiac transplantation?
Protein losing enteropathy (PLE), defined as severe loss of serum protein into the intestine, occurs in 4–13% of patients after the Fontan procedure and carries a dismal prognosis with a five year survival between 46% and 59%. Chronically raised systemic venous pressure is thought to be responsible for the development of PLE in these patients, with perhaps superimposed immunological or inflamma...
