11. Valvular Defects- Exam 3 Flashcards
Hemi-Fontan Procedure
(Bi-directional Cavopulmonary Anastomosis)=
Anastamosis PA/Right atrial appendage
SVC is patched
Intracardiac Completion Fontan=
intra-atrial lateral baffle directs IVC flow to the SVC which is connected to the right PA. a fenestration is made inside a pressure relief
Extracardiac Completion Fontan=
conduit outside the RA carrying flow from the IVC to the SVC to the right PA
Absent Pulmonary Valve=
Rare defect
Pulmonary valve tissue not formed or incomplete
4+ PI
what does an Absent Pulmonary Valve cause
Flood pulmonary arteries (pulmonary overcirculation)
Absent Pulmonary Valves cause flooding of the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary overcirculation). What does this in turn cause
Massive dilation of Pulmonary Arteries
- Lead to extrinsic compression of the bronchial airway
- leads to abnormal development of bronchial tree
Absent Pulmonary Valve is associated with what
VSD
what type of shunting does an Absent Pulmonary Valve cause
Respiratory impairment
R–> L shunting
systemic desaturation
Compression of airway = compromised sats
Absent Pulmonary Valve treatment
Plication of the Pulmonary Arteries
Pulmonary Valve Replacement
VSD Closure
Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum
(PA w/IVS)=
AKA. TOF with Absent Pulmonary Valve
Complete atresia of pulmonary valve Pulmonary valve fails to form late in development RV and Tricuspid Valve Hypoplastic PA is normal size Large ASD will decompress RA
with a PA w/IVS, Severe hypoplasia of RV results in creation of what
Coronary Artery Sinusoids= Fistula between the RV and coronaries
* Can be catastrophic
describe the flow/shunting for PA w/IVS
Pulmonary Blood flow entirely dependent on PDA
Requires PGE-1 infusion after birth
R–> L shunting atrially
with a PA w/IVS, what is Coronary perfusion dependent on
Coronary perfusion dependent on increased driving forces of obstructed RV (RV increased resistance is good)
-Decompressing RV = Ischemia
PA w/IVS treatment
- PGE-1 to maintain duct patency
- RV dependent Sinusoids= Balloon atrial septostomy to decompress the RA
- NO RV dependent Sinusoids= Open the atretic Pulmonary valve via transcatheter or surgical valvotomy
- Systemic to PA shunt or PDA stent= Need shunt b/c RV is poorly compliant and hypertrophied. Poor RV output
PAw /IVS post-op course
Prone to hemodynamic instability
Possibly delay chest closure
PAw /IVS length of stay
1-2 weeks
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD=
Aka. TOF with Pulmonary Atresia (Extreme form of TOF)
- Failure of the development of the pulmonary valve
- Underdeveloped RV outflow tract and main PA
- Branch PAs may be confluent and fed by ductus or discontinuous and hypoplastic.
- Normal development of the RV
- Large VSD
- May have an ASD
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD: branch PA’s may be discontinuous. describe the flow in this case
Discontinous – Pulmonary blood flow provided via Aortopulmonary Collaterals
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD: describe the mixing
Complete intracardiac mixing
Systemic desaturation/ cyanosis
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD: describe collateral flow
Aortopulmonary collaterals
-Porgressive stenosis
-Hypoxemia
“True pulmonary arteries” are hypoplastic
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD: Confluent branch PAs which are fed by ductus require what treatment
Complete surgical repair
- Placement of RV to PA conduit (Rastelli Procedure)
- Close VSD
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD: Hypoplastic branch PAs with aortopulmonary vessels require what treatment
- Surgical approach is varied and patient specific
- Unifocalization of Aortopulmonary (A-P) collaterals
- RVOT reconstruction= Staged or do it all together and incorporate AP collateral unifocalization into the RVOT conduit
- Eventual closure of the VSD after RVOT reconstruction/ unifocalization= Ensure pulmonary flow adequate
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS)=
- Pulmonary Valve and/or RV outflow tract is restricted
- PS causes obstruction to the ejection of blood from the RV (forces increased RV tension development)
- Increased work load of the ventricle
- Severe and/or Prolonged = RV Hypertrophy
what is the incidence rate of Pulmonary Stenosis
10% of Congenital Heart Diseases
Range from Mild to Severe
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS): what are the 3 types?
Supravalvular Stenosis
Valvular Stenosis
Subvalvular Stenosis (Infundibular)
Supravalvular Stenosis=
Pulmonary artery lumen above the pulmonary valve opening is narrowed
Can be main or branch PA
Valvular Stenosis=
Leaflets of PV thickened/ fused at edges
Valve doesn’t open fully
May see post-stenotic dilation of the main PA
Valve may be bicuspid
Subvalvular Stenosis (Infundibular)=
RVOT stenosis, below Pulmonary Valve
Obstructed by muscular tissue
Pulmonary Stenosis may be classified by RV Pressure.
Mild=
Mild: 45mmHg or less
Pulmonary Stenosis may be classified by RV Pressure.
Moderate=
Moderate: 46-89mmHg
–start trying to intervene
Pulmonary Stenosis may be classified by RV Pressure.
Severe=
Severe: 90mmHg (suprasystemic)
–Will develop right heart failure
PS in infancy is always _____
severe
with PS, If there is an ASD- what will happen
Right to left shunting will occur
-Cyanosis
Moderate pulmonary stenosis (or higher), will see ___
RVH
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis
If the defect is purely valvular:
Balloon valvuloplasty
Commisurotomy - incise the fused commisures via direct vision
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis
Infundibular Stensosis:
Hypertrophied muscle in the outflow tract is resected
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis
Supravalvular Stenosis:
Depends where stenotic lesion is
Remove stenosis/ balloon angioplasty or stent
Patch repair/ enlargement (eyeball like)
Aortic Stenosis=
Acyanotic lesion
Narrowing of the aortic valve or thickening of the leaflets, bicuspid or unicuspid valve
Aortic Stenosis incidence rate

Aortic Stenosis is associated with what
PDA, MS, or Coarctaction
