Q

Total Anomalous (TAPVC / TAPVR)=

A

Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs back to the RA or a vein flowing into the RA and NOT to the left side of heart.
–In other words, blood simply circles to and from the lungs and never gets out to the body. (2 separate circulations)

22
Q

describe obstructed TAVPR

A
  • the pulmonary veins run into the abdomen, passing through the diaphragm.
  • This squeezes the veins and narrows them, causing the blood to back up into the lungs (RA, RV pressures increase).
  • Causes symptoms early - deadly if not recognized and surgically corrected

35
Q

Partial Anomalous (PAPVC / PAPVR)=

A

-oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins back to the RA ans LA.
-In other words, the pulmonary return blood is divided
between the LA and RA in the return to the heart.

36
Q

what is a PAPVR associated with

A

ASD (sinus venosis or secundum)

37
Q

with a PAPVR, how many of the PV’s drain into the RA

A

One or more of the 4 PV’s drain to the RA

38
Q

what has been used with some success to decompress the venous circuit and improve cardiac output in cases of a restrictive inter-atrial communication.

A

Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS)

39
Q

Since an ASD is imperative to survival – it is better if it is restrictive or non-restrictive

A

non-restrictive

40
Q

what is the goal of surgical treatment

A

The goal of surgical repair is to recreate an unobstructed venous inflow to the left side chambers and repair of the associated anomalies, such as closure of atrial septal defect (ASD).

41
Q

when is surgical repair performed emergently

A

in the newborn period for newborns with TAPVR and
obstructed pulmonary veins. Some of these children will actually require ECMO prior to surgery because of their marked hemodynamic instability

42
Q

what is one of the true pediatric emergencies

A

Obstructive TAPVR

43
Q

_____ is normally corrected without complications.

A

PAPVC

44
Q

_____ still carries significant morbidity and mortality in low volume centers, (due to the severe hemodynamic and metabolic compromise).

A

TAPVC

45
Q

____% of patients undergoing repair of TAPVC require multiple interventions due to recurrent ____ after initial successful correction, (with an ______ poor outcome at each representation).

A

10-15%
stenosis
increasingly

46
Q

when do Children with TAPVR without obstruction to

the pulmonary veins typically undergo surgical repair electively

A

days or weeks after the diagnosis is made.
–although the surgery is not emergent, there is generally little benefit to be gained by waiting more than one or two months.

47
Q

In TAPVR surgical repair, the pulmonary veins frequently return to a common confluence behind the?

A

LA

  • -resulting in a normal connection of PV->LA
  • -All other abnormal routes for pulmonary venous drainage are tied off.
48
Q

what cases have the higher surgical mortality or death rate

A

when surgery is performed emergently in critically ill
newborns with obstructed pulmonary venous return.
–This is because they are very sick going to surgery.

49
Q

Critically ill newborns who do survive the surgery may require what?

A

a prolonged period of post-operative intensive care

50
Q

CPB: Arterial + Venous Cannulas

A

Arterial: aortic
Venous:
–PAPVR (larger child) Bicaval
–TAPVR (newborn) Single Atrial

51
Q

CPB: Temperatures

A
  • Hypothermia: Circulatory arrest will be utilized partially or completely
  • -DHCA or intermittent depending on exposure and visualization
52
Q

In the past, almost all infants with TAPVC were repaired using _____ and ______. Now it can be performed with ______ and _______ perfusion.

A

profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest

53
Q

what is the benefit of using circ arrest

A

allowing a bloodless field with excellent exposure of the pulmonary venous confluence without the need for unnecessary manipulation or clamping of the pulmonary veins

54
Q

what is the benefit of using circ arrest

A

allowing a bloodless field with excellent exposure of the pulmonary venous confluence without the need for unnecessary manipulation or clamping of the pulmonary veins

Q

On occasion, it is helpful to introduce brief periods of _______ during the most critical portions of the operation to optimize surgical exposure with a nearly bloodless field
