Severe Persistant Cyanosis in a Newborn Due to Prominent Eustachian Valve

ABSTRACTThe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. Involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. A full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic e...

Dyspnoea after pneumonectomy.

We report the case of a 61 yr old male, who developed a severe right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale, in the absence of elevated right-sided heart pressures, two months after a left-sided pneumonectomy. This is considered to be a rare complication after pneumonectomy. However, taking into account the approximately 20% incidence of patent foramen ovale in the general population, we ...

Dynamics of interatrial shunting in children with obstruction of the tricuspid and pulmonic valves.

The interatrial pressure-flow dynamics in patients with right-to-left shunting at the atrial level in the presence of right heart obstruction were studied. In tricuspid atresia most of the right-to-left gradient occurred during right atrial systole. This gradient, as well as the cineangiocardiograms, indicated that almost all systemic venous return was transferred from the right to the left atr...

Assessment of left-to-right atrial shunting after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty by transesophageal color Doppler flow-mapping.

To evaluate left-to-right shunts after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty, we studied 15 consecutive patients by using transesophageal color Doppler flow-imaging system. Transesophageal color Doppler examinations were performed five times in each patient (before valvuloplasty and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months after valvuloplasty). No shunt flow was observed before valvuloplasty. O...

Right sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.

Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
