Q

New born Type 1 Esophageal atresia 6.2 cm gap

A
  • Most children’s medical centers consider a gap between proximal and distal esophagus of 6.0 cm or greater to be too long to be reliably closed within the first weeks of life.
  • Plan:
    • Delay the surgery six weeks.
    • Placement of a gastrostomy tube within 24 hours of birth.
    • Stabilize the neonate and can be prepared for delayed primary repair.

Q

The underlying mechanism for the development of CCAM?

A

The underlying mechanism for the development of CCAM is segmental bronchial atresia

perhaps resulting from either:

  1. primary disruption during fetal lung bud development
  2. disruption of the fetal bronchial circulation.

32
Q

Abnormality associated with IAA type B

A

Type B: Between the left subclavian artery and the left common carotid artery

also associated with DiGeorge syndrome and absence of the thymus).

33
Q

What is the mortality for surgical management of a device adverse event ?

A

The mortality for surgical management of a device adverse event (2.6%) is 20-fold higher than for primary elective ASD closure (0.13%, P<0.0001).

34
Q

what patients are at highest risk of pulmonary HTN crisis

A

Patients with complete AV canal operated on later in life

(i.e., 9-24 months of age).

35
Q

What anomaly when occurring with truncus has the highest mortality?

A

The combination of:

  • interrupted aortic arch
  • and*
  • severe truncal valve regurgitation

carries a particularly high risk.

36
Q

Anomalies associated with truncus arteriosis

A

Associated Abrnomaities

IAA (B) or coarcation 10-20%

37
Q

Pathophysiology of truncus arteriosis

Pathophysiology

Pulmonary over flow

With increase in PVR failure

38
Q

AAOCA

incidence

A

incidence 0.1 - 0.3

39
Q

cTGA

when does failure typically present?

A

ccTGA

RV failure will occur in the 3rd or 4th decade of life

.

40
Q

cTGA

Is cerebral abscesses an issue?

A

No

In the absence of severe pulmonary stenosis, these patients do not have right-to-left shunting and hence are not at risk for cerebral abscesses.

41
Q

cTGA

Morphology fo the tricuspid valve

A

The morphologic tricuspid valve, which is the systemic atrioventricular valve, is the arteriovenous valve that tends to fail in these patients.

This valve frequently has an Ebsteinoid morphology and may be displaced into the ventricle.

42
Q

conduction isues with cTGA

A

The conduction system of these hearts is abnormal and typically courses anterior to the mitral valve and posterior to the pulmonary valve.

This long pathway is associated with an elevated risk of developing of third-degree (complete) atrioventricular heart block.

43
Q

Epidemiology of conduction issues with ccTGA

A
  • Some neonates with ccTGA are actually born with complete heart block,

1/3 of ccTGA patients have third-degree AV block by age 30.

The risk of requiring an AICD is much lower than patients with more common “uncorrected” transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) who have had an atrial switch (Mustard or Senning) procedure

44
Q

on reoperation how should cvp be controlled for intracardiac shunts

A

CVP should be > 6

45
Q

A

think ebstein

46
Q

  1. cyanosis
  2. cardiomegaly
  3. malar rash
  4. hepatomegaly
  5. peradoxical embolus
47
Q

A

50%

48
Q

Echo findings consistent with Ebstein

A
  1. Septal leaflet : apical displacement > 8mm/m2
  2. Dialated RV
  3. Delayed closure of the TV (.65ms after the MV )
49
Q

Decision-making process for neonate with Ebstein

A
  • if dependent on PGE1: need surgical intervention
  • if stable with good SaO2: BT shunt for palliation
  • If CHF: TV repair
50
Q

RV failure after adult Epstein repair

A

Consider bilatteral cavo-pulmonary shunt

(over ASD fenestration - which would lead to worsening cyanosis )

51

A

% of Truncus arteriosus associated with

IAA (B) or coarcation 10-20%

Q

% of Truncus arteriosus associated with Right aortic arch ?

A

Right aortic arch 25-30%

53
Q

A

Persistent left superior vc: 10%

54
Q

Genetic syndromes associated with Truncus arteriosus?

A
  1. Chromosome 22q11 deleto ( DeGeorge Syndrome)
55
Q

Clinical presentation of DiGeorge Syndrome

A

While the symptoms can be variable they often include:

  1. congenital heart problems
  2. specific facial feature
  3. frequent infections
  4. developmental delay
  5. learning problems,
  6. cleft palate.
  7. absent of hyplastic thymus
  8. Parathyroid issues – hypocalcemia

Associated condition include kidney problems, hearing loss, and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or Graves disease.

56
Q

Physiologic changes with a Glenn Shunt

A
  • reduces the volume load on the ventricle ⇒ improves its diastolic function and provides more efficient flow of blood into the pulmonary circulation.
  • superior vena cava inflow results in decreased total blood volume returning to the single ventricle.
  • with mild tricuspid valve insufficiency, it is important to reduce the volume load to the heart and to prevent progressive worsening of tricuspid regurgitation.
  • Cerebral perfusion pressure is actually decreased after the Glenn procedure.
57
Q

Arrhythmia complication after Mustard procedure

A

This is in contrast to up to 80% of patients with atrial arrhythmias late after atrial-type switch operations (Mustard or Senning operations)

58
Q

Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenosis is the most commonly seen complication requiring re-intervention following arterial switch.

59
Q

  • No difference in freedom from reoperation (> 90% at 5 years).
63
Q

Results of Tricuspid replacement :

Biologic Valve choice:

  • Freedom from structural degeneration @ 9 years?

####

A
  • Freedom from structural degeneration is nearly 100% at 9 years
  • non-structural dysfunction is high (73%) due to pannus formation on the ventricular side of the cusps

####

  • %? of patients require a pacemaker ?
  • %? of patients need a pacemaker in 10 years ?

66
Q

Results of Tricuspid replacement :

Thrombosis

% of prosthetic valve rate ?

more so tissue or mechanical?

A

Thrombosis of prosthetic tricuspid valves occurs at a rate of 1% per patient-year.

Mechanical: Thrombosis was more common with past mechanical prostheses (Smeloff-Cutter, Bjork-Shiley) than with current bileaflet valves.

Bioprosthetic: valve thrombosis is rare.

67
Q

Results of Tricuspid replacement :

Thrombosis of prosthetic valve - does thrombolytics work?

A

If a tricuspid prosthesis does clot, however, thrombolytic therapy has a reported success rate of over 80%.

68
Q

Repair of pulmonary atresia with VSD

How to evaluate the conduit size

A

If the ratio of the RV to the LV systolic pressures exceeds 0.85, the likelihood of a successful biventricular repair is low,

and the VSD patch should be fenestrated. This patient’s ratio is 0.72, so additional interventions are not indicated

69
Q

Components of the TOF

A
  1. RVOT obstruction – at several possible levels
  2. Anterior malalignment VSD
  3. Aorta dextroposition
  4. RV hypertrophy ( compensatory)

70
Q

treatment of a cyanotic TET patient who does better in the prone position

pathology?

treatment?

A

Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and absent pulmonary valve have rudimentary pulmonary valve leaflets that lack 3-dimensional cusp-like anatomy with central deficiencies. –> pulmonary regurgitation and stenosis

PA can become aneurysmal –> block the trachea

  • artery falls away when they are prone
  • A LeCompte manuaver can fix this obstruction
71
Q

Adult patient with TOF repair as a child

How to determine if pulmonary valve surgery is necessary

A

MRI has proven to be the best tool for serial assessment of RV volumes.

The size of the RV (usually as measured by RV end-diastolic volume indexed to body surface area) at which pulmonary valve replacement is recommended varies from 140-160 mL/m2.

72
Q

Current recommendations for pulmonary valve replacement

A

Because of this natural history, current recommendations for pulmonary valve replacement include indexed RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) >150 mL/m2 and RV systolic pressure >2/3 systemic.

73
Q

Qp:Qs

calculation

A

Qp:Qs = (Ao sat - SVC sat) / (PV sat - PA sat)

Hi - Lo O2 sat /Hi - lo O2 sat

74
Q

Forms of Sinus venosus repair

A

Typical:

Patch repair to baffle blood flow to the RA and close the VSD

if drainage is high into the SVC (at the level of the azygous)

Warden Repair: (1) SVC is transected above the pulmonary veins (2) pulmonary veins are baffled to the RA

OR: two patch technique - intracardiac patch used to baffle the PV and close the ASD (this is associated with sinus node dysfunction)
