A
  1. RV sinusoids
  2. Coronary-cameral fistulae
  3. RV-dependent coronary circulation (significant portion of LV supplied by fistulae fed by hypertensive RV)
137
Q

What can happen is you decompress an RV in the setting of significant RV-dependent myocardial circulation?

A

Irreversible myocardial ischemia (usually fatal)

138
Q

Pulmonary valvuloplasty is a class I indication for what?

A
  1. Critical PS (present at birth, cyanosis, ductal-dependent)
  2. Valve with peak to peak cath or peak echo >40mmHg
  3. Clinically significant pulmonary valvar obstruction with RV dysfunction
139
Q

What is a class I indication for ASD device closure?

A

Hemodynamically significant ASD with suitable anatomic features

140
Q

What are 2 class IIa indications for ASD device closure?

A
  1. ASD with transient R-L shunting and sequalae of paradoxical emboli like stroke or recurrent TIA
  2. ASD with transient R-L shunting and cyanosis who don’t need pop-off
141
Q

What is a class IIb indication for ASD device closure?

A

ASD at risk of thromboembolic events (transvenous pacing system, indwelling catheters, hypercoaguability)

142
Q

What are the 2 main reasons to do a BAS?

A
  1. Improve mixing (d-TGA)
  2. Improve ASD restriction with obstruction or stenosis of AoV (HLHS)

*Rarely needed in right heart obstructive lesions

143
Q

Why do you have to be cautious if doing a BAS for tricuspid atresia?

A

Redundant atrial septum can disrupt the RA/IVC junction

144
Q

Is a BAS ever done for TAPVR?

A

No- septum isn’t usually location of obstruction

145
Q

Is a BAS more straightforward for d-TGA or HLHS?

A

d-TGA: Flap of fossa ovalis is thin and easy to tear with balloon catheter

*BAS can be performed up to a few weeks of age (after this, atrial septum may be too thick to balloon successfully in any lesion without significant risk of disruption of normal tissue… blade septosotmy will then be needed)

146
Q

What is the risk of BAS in HLHS?

A
  • Tissue may be very thick with minimal to no opening at time of delivery
  • Procedure usually done emergently and immediately after delivery
  • May require various techniques (transseptal or radiofrequency access to LA, use of dilation balloon (cutting) and stent placement)
  • Simple balloon septostomy in HLHS with thick restrictive atrial septum may avulse the pulmonary veins (tissue with least resistance will give way) during BAS
147
Q

What should be considered as a cause of exertional cyanosis in a patient s/p Mustard?

A

R-L shunt via baffle leak

148
Q

What should be done for a baffle leak?

A

Closure either via surgery or in the cath lab with a septal occluder device

149
Q

What cath-based intervention can be done for baffle obstruction s/p Mustard?

A

Stent placement

150
Q

What are factors which may affect the pressure gradient across a coarctation?

A
  • LV dysfunction with low CO
  • Large PDA
  • Multiple collateral decompressing the aorta
151
Q

DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, proximal skeletal myopathy, growth failure, neutropenia, organic aciduria

A

Barth syndrome (X-linked)

*3-methylglutaconic aciduria type II

152
Q

What needs done prior to a cath for someone with Barth syndrome?

A

CBCdiff to assess for neutropenia, may need G-CSF and may adjust antibiotics as indicated
