CASE REPORT Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn associated with pulmonary atresia and intact interventricular septum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neonates with pulmonary atresia and intact interventricular septum (PAIVS) do not have pulmonary vascular disease secondary to their heart abnormality. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn has not been described in association with this condition. The case is reported of a female neonate born with PAIVS, who preoperatively had no clinical evidence or any risk factors for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, but whose postoperative course was highly suggestive of persistent pulmonary hypertension; necropsy confirmed the features of pulmonary vascular disease.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn associated with pulmonary atresia and intact interventricular septum.
Neonates with pulmonary atresia and intact interventricular septum (PAIVS) do not have pulmonary vascular disease secondary to their heart abnormality.

متن کاملAn unusual case of congenitally unguarded tricuspid valve orifice associated with pulmonary valve atresia and intact ventricular septum.
We report on a premature neonate who presented with cyanosis soon after birth. She was found on echocardiography to have an unguarded tricuspid valve orifice associated with pulmonary valve atresia and an intact interventricular septum. Owing to the small-sized pulmonary arteries, she was initially managed conservatively with prostaglandin infusion, and at one year of age underwent a successful...
متن کاملA case of severe pulmonary hypertension associated with common arterial trunk and VSD in a 9 years old child
Background: Common arterial trunk (CAT) is a rare congenital heart disease, and often leads to the early development of pulmonary hypertension and disability. Among the critical structural heart defects, the frequency of CAT is 3%, which reflects the severe hemodynamic disturbances. The natural course of the disease is characterized by a high mortality rate up to 88% during the first year of li...
متن کاملDevelopment of the ductus arteriosus in right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
We studied the morphology of the ductus arteriosus in 14 infants, ages 2--90 days. Eight (group 1) had pulmonary atresia (structural and functional) with an intact interventricular septum; six (group 2) had pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect. The inferior angle of the ductus arteriosus at the aortic junction was measured in each patient. In group 1, this angle was obtuse in all ...
متن کاملRare case of squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa metastasizing to interventricular septum in a young adult detected by 18F-FDG PET-CT
Metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. Despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. Tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...
