Ch 13 Venous Anomalies

Question 1

PL-SVC is what type of heart defect?

Answer 1

Acyanotic, not a critical defect requiring immediate intervention

Question 2

These graphics depict what sort of venous abnormality? Images show no pulmonary veins connecting properly into LA, they all drain directly/indirectly into RA

Answer 2

TAPVR

Question 3

In TAPVR there is no requirement for a present shunt (PDA, ASD, VSD) because it is not a cyanotic heart defect. True or False?

Answer 3

False

Question 4

What is the circulatory pathway of oxygenated blood in cases of TAPVR once it leaves the pulmonary veins?

Answer 4

Pulmonary veins = RA = TV = RV = PA

Question 5

In PAPVR + TAPVR, which echo finding would you expect to find?

Answer 5

Two of the above:
-Dilation of RV/RA
-ASD

(not dilation of LV/LA)

Question 6

These graphics depict what sort of venous abnormality? Images show one or more of the pulmonary veins not connecting to the LA

Answer 6

PAPVR

Question 7

The sonographer decides to perform a bubble study using the patient’s left arm to rule out a persistent left SVC. In the PLAX view, the sonographer notices bubbles/contrast are visualized in the RVOT and none in the coronary sinus. This would be considered positive for a persistent left SVC. True or False?

Answer 7

False

(bubbles must be seen in the RVOT + coronary sinus to be positive)

Question 8

What type of ASD is partial anomalous pulmonary vein return associated with?

Answer 8

Sinus venosus ASD
