Stent implantation in surgical cavopulmonary conduit: report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite advances in Fontan surgery, obstruction in extracardiac ducts may occur and cause clinical deterioration. We report two cases of stent implantation for correction of stenosis in the Fontan surgery. Ascites was a common clinical sign; a patient was protein losing enteropathy. All procedures were angiographically and clinically successful.

Vascular stenoses and hypoplasia in children are often associated with congenital heart disease or occur as a residual lesion or complications after surgical repair. Among these lesions, branch pulmonary artery stenoses are the commonest, other lesions include coarctation of aorta, stenosis of systemic veins after Fontan repairs, post-operative pulmonary venous stenosis, aortopulmonary collater...
متن کاملVenous cannulation for extracorporeal circulation after total cavopulmonary connection with extracardiac conduit.
We report two cases of venous cannulation after a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) with extracardiac conduit. Venous cannulation was performed via side graft sutured to the extracardiac conduit in an end-to-side fashion. The first case was a 3-year-old girl, who suffered from an atypical inferior vena cava obstruction after TCPC. The obstruction region was distal to the anastomosis site of...

Patients who develop a severe stenosis in biological pulmonary conduits previously implanted for pulmonary outflow trunk reconstructions are treated either by surgical re-replacement, or by transcatheter stent-valve implantation through a femoral vein access. A catheter-based sub-xyphoidian access through the right ventricle for stent-valve positioning in a pulmonary conduit has rarely been pro...

BACKGROUND A malpositioned heart with apicocaval juxtaposition may complicate the management of patients with functional single ventricles when total cavopulmonary connection is performed. We reviewed our experience with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection in patients with apicocaval juxtaposition with a special focus on route selection and outcomes. METHODS Of 68 patients who underwe...
متن کاملAcquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
