Chd Flashcards
Success of fontan procedure for tricuspid atresia depends on
HIGH systemic venous pressure and maintaining both low PVR and low left atrial pressure
For triscuspid atresia failed fontan procedure what may be necessary
Heart transplant
What is Tricuspid atresia surgical management
Fontan procedure
Tricuspid atresia -babies are cyanotic at birth and require “this” to survive
Prostaglandin E1 infusion with or without other palliative procedure
For tricuspid atresia- what is necessary for blood to flow from the left ventricle into the pulmonary circulation
PDA or VSD
Tell me exactly what is the problem with tricuspid atresia
Absence or permanent closure of the tricuspid valve
Tricuspid atresia-what is the left ventricle and right ventricle
Small right ventricle large left ventricle
Tricuspid atresia can have transposition of the great vessels
Dextrotransposition
Nondextransposition
What is the flow of blood for tricuspid atresia
Blood goes from RA- asd or pfo to LA- through mitral valve to vsd- to pulmonary artery
If no VSD- blood flows through pda
Signs of symptoms of tricuspid atresia
Clubbing in older children Tachypnea Prominent a waves Abnormal pulses Hepatic enlargement Heart failure
What is ebstein anomaly
Downward displacement of the valve because of abnormal attachment of valve leaflets
What is the most common type of ASD
Ostium secundum at the level of foremen ovale
What ASD is associated with mitral regurgitation
Located low in atrial septum
What ASD is located high in atrial septum
Sinus venous
What type of shunt is ASD
Left to right shunt b/w the 2 atria
For ASD what can air bubbles lead too
Paradoxical Emboli that can lead to heart attacks and strokes
Treatment of ASD
Early repair is advocated
Banding of pulmonary artery to reduce the magnitude of left to right shunt
What infection can occur with ASD
Recurrent pulmonary infections
What should be avoided in ASD
Increase in SVR-worsen left to right shunting
ASD what is commonly seen post op
Svt and about conduction is common
In ASD what will volatiles and positive pressure ventilation do to shunting
Decrease svr
Ppv will increase pvr and decrease the shunt
What may present post op with VSD
3rd degree heart block may present
What shunt has Recurrent pulmonary infections and CHF are common
VSD left to right
True or false
Small VSD close during childhood spontaneously
True
