Q

Surgical plan for correction of subvalvular aortic stenosis

A
  • Diffuse form:
  • (basically a septal myectomy or Ross kono
  • or a Nicks procedure)
    • Aortoseptal approach
      • Preserve the aortic valve if normal
      • Septal resection or patch
      • Ross-Kono procedure vs a mechanical prosthesis
    • Valve-preserving technique
      • Incision through the left and non coronary commissure into the roof of the LA and across the mitral (Nicks procedure?)
      • Replacethe mitral and patch the annulus/roof of the LA
      • Reclose the aorta preserving the aortic root

Q

Ebstein’s Anomaly

Features of the tricupid valve

A
  • Septal leaflet is always affected
  • Posterior leaflet: almost always
  • Anterior leaflet involvement is unusual, but is usually large and sail-like
  • The leaflets are typically adherent to the RV wall

50
how does tye 1A tricuspid atresia present ?
Cyanosis - Most tricuspid atresia type 1 presents with cyanosis
51
How does Type 1B, tricuspid atresia present?
The presentation depends mainly on the subtype **Cyanosis** is mainly type 1- Type 1A**, 1B,** tricuspid atresia DILV with reduced PVF (PS or pulmonary atresia) Congestive heart failure: Type IIc – tricuspid atresia DILV with TGA from the rudimentary chamber
52
how does tricuspid atresia Type IIc present?
The presentation depends mainly on the subtype Cyanosis is mainly type 1- Type 1A, 1B, tricuspid atresia DILV with reduced PVF (PS or pulmonary atresia) **Congestive heart failure**: _Type IIc_ – tricuspid atresia DILV with TGA from the rudimentary chamber
53
Most common cause of delayed paralysis after TAAA repair
The most frequent inciting factor for delayed-onset spinal cord injury is postoperative hypotension, which should be considered relative to the patient’s preoperative baseline blood pressure. Etz CD .. Griep "Paraplegia after extensive thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair: does critical spinal cord ischemia occur postoperatively?" JCTVS 2008
54
The frequency of hemodynamically PDA in infants with birth weight \< 1750?
45%
55
The frequency of PDA in patients with a birthweight \< 1200g ?
85%
56
Rx for the medical closure of a PDA
Indomethacin 0.2mg/kg infused over 20 minutes at 12 and 24 hours.
57
How to address a calcified PDA
1. Sternotomy 2. CPB 3. Ductal flow can initially be achieved by inverting LPA while cooling 4. Cool to 28-32 5. Patch the PDA 6. Need DHCA
58
Should a PDA be closed on an asymptomatic adult
Yes - Risk of having endocarditis If feasible, a transcatheter closure should be performed
59
Closing a PDA through a left thoracotomy a tear occurs in the LPA
Control bleeding with manual pressure. Bypass: LA to the Descending aorta
