Congenital Flashcards
BAV screening
First degree relatives
Secundum ASD anatomy
Absence of tissue in region of fossa ovalis (center of septum)
Secundum ASD shunt
Left to right shunt
RA and RV enlargement
Holt Oram Syndrome
Heart-hand syndrome
TBX5 mutation, AD
Associated with secundum ASD
Secundum ASD EKG
RAD, RBBB from RV overload
R wave notches in inferior limb leads
Secundum ASD closure indications
Symptoms class I No symptoms class IIa No PVD - PASP < 50% systemic, PVR < 1/3 SVR, no R to L shunt on pulse ox
Sinus venous defect
Superior portion of septum, posterior to fossa ovalis
A/w anomalous RUPV
L-> R -> RV overload
Sinus venous defect treatment
Surgical closure if
impaired functional capacity
R enlargement
No cyanosis or PVD
Primum ASD
Partial A-V canal defect, inferior portion of septum
A/w Downs
AV valves abnormal, on same level, MV usually cleft
R enlargement
RBBB and LAD
Primum ASD treatment
Surgical closure if
impaired functional capacity
R enlargement
No cyanosis or PVD
Primum ASD associated lesions
- Secundum ASD
- VSD
- PS
- Subaortic stenosis - abnormal MV insertion in LVOT
- Left SVC
- Coarctation
Complete AV canal defect
Atrial defect above valve, ventricular below
One big AV valve
L->R shunt -> PVD
Huge R sided enlargement
Must be repaired in infancy or Eisenmenger’s develops
Look for anomalous PVs
RV volume overload, no ASD
Anomalous PV repair if
Qp:Qs > 1.5
Symptoms
RV enlargement
Indication to close VSD
LV enlargement
Muscular VSD
bordered by myocardium
Perimembranous VSD
Beneath commissure between R and posteirior cusps and remote from L cusp
Infundibuluar, outlet supracristal VSD
- Lies beneath commissure between R and L cusps
- Aortic prolapse
- Earlier closure to prevent AR
Sub-aortic and sub-pulmonary VSD
Should be closed to prevent AR
PDA closure
- LA or LV enlargement with net L to R shunt
- PASP < 50% systemic & PVR < 1/3 systemic
Pulmonary stenosis associated with
Noonan’s syndrome
PS severe
PG > 65
Peak vel > 4
MG > 35
PS treatment
Balloon if mod-severe and HF, cyanosis or exercise intolerance without other reasons
Surgical if ineligible or failed balloon
20 years after Pulm balloon valvotomy complications
Arrhythmias
RV enlargement
TR
PR
Indications for coarctation repair
HTN + significant coarctation
Arm/leg peak-peak grad >20 or mean doppler systolic > 20
Arm/leg >10 or mean doppler systolic > 10 with collateral flow
Arm/leg or doppler > 10 + decreased LV function or AF
