Q

describe TOF embryology

A

Aorta and PA start as a single tube (truncus arterosis) divided by the spiral septum. The spiral septum grows down and attaches to the ventricular septum which:
◦Isolates the ventricles
◦Isolates the aorta and the pulmonary artery

Q

TOF w/Pulmonary Atresia=

A

TOF with PA (pseudotruncus arteriosus) is a severe variant in which there is complete obstruction (atresia) of the RVOT, causing an absence of the pulmonary trunk during embryonic development

Q

describe shunting and flow of a TOF w/ PA

A

blood shunts completely from the right ventricle to the left where it is pumped only through the aorta. The lungs are perfused via extensive collaterals from the systemic arteries, and sometimes also via the ductus arteriosus

Q

why does a TOF result in cyanosis

A

TOF results in low O2 of blood due to the mixing of blood in the LV via the VSD and preferential flow of the mixed blood through the aorta (because of the obstruction to flow through the pulmonary valve)
-In TOF w/PA this R→L shunt is significantly worse

Q

why do children either Squat or go to the knee chest position during a TET spell

A

will increase aortic wave reflection=
-increasing pressure on the left side of the heart, decreasing the right to left shunt (think clamping distal to outflow)
◦thus decreasing the amount of deoxygenated blood entering the systemic circulation.
