Early diastolic clicks after the Fontan procedure for double inlet left ventricle: anatomical and physiological correlates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
M mode echocardiograms and simultaneous phonocardiograms were recorded in four patients with early diastolic clicks on auscultation. All had double inlet left ventricle and had undergone the Fontan procedure with closure of the right atrioventricular valve orifice by an artificial patch. The phonocardiogram confirmed a high frequency sound occurring 60-90 ms after aortic valve closure and coinciding with the time of maximal excursion of the atrioventricular valve patch towards the ventricular mass. One patient had coexisting congenital complete heart block. The M mode echocardiogram showed "reversed" motion of the patch towards the right atrium during atrial contraction. Doppler flow studies showed that coincident with this motion there was forward flow in the pulmonary artery with augmentation when atrial contraction coincided with ventricular systole. The early diastolic click in these patients was explained by abrupt cessation of the motion of the atrioventricular valve patch towards the ventricular mass in early diastole. In one patient atrial contraction led to a reversal of this motion and was associated with forward flow in the pulmonary artery.

Fourteen patients with double inlet left ventricle and nine patients with tricuspid atresia had biplane left ventricular angiography with simultaneous measurement of left ventricular pressure by micromanometer.

متن کاملDouble-Inlet Left Ventricle Before and After Septation
Septation is one of the surgical choices for double-inlet left ventricle, yet postoperative hemodynamics have not been well defined. We studied ventricular volume characteristics in 10 patients with double-inlet left ventricle before and after septation. Preoperative end-diastolic volume (EDV) of the ventricle was 291±111% (±SD) of normal and ejection fraction (EF) was 0.59± 0.07. Postoperative...

Doppler echocardiography was used to evaluate blood flow in the pulmonary artery in 14 patients 2 to 42 months (mean (SD) 17 (12) months) after a modified Fontan operation incorporating a direct atriopulmonary anastomosis. Preoperatively six patients had tricuspid atresia, six had a double inlet left ventricle, and two had pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum. The postoperative r...

Complete septation of a double inlet left ventricle with left anterior subaortic outlet chamber was carried out successfully as a staged procedure during the first two years of life in a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension and an abnormal left atrioventricular valve. In contrast with isolated pulmonary artery banding, which rarely has led to a satisfactory septation or modified Fontan op...
