Congenital Flashcards
Physiology of a conal VSD
(Supra cristal, subpulmonary, subarterial, juxtarterial, Infundibular)
Below pulmonic valve
- intimately related to the right aortic cusp.
- Associated with right coronary cusp prolapse and AI therefore should be repaired.
Route for surgical closure of Infundibular vsd
Through the pa and the pulmonic valve
Conal VSD aka….
Supracristal Sub arterial Subpulmonary Juxtarterial Infundiular
cardiac anomalies associated with unilateral pulmonary genesis
usually relatively benign - PDA and PFO
congenital lobar emphysema- anatomic location
LUL: 40%
RML: 35%
RUL: 20%
congenital lobar emphysema - Male: female
2.5: 1
CCAM - anatomic location
equal all lobes
Radiographic types of CCAM
Type 1: single cyst type
Type 2: many small cysts
Type 3: solid mass
CCAM - male to female ratio
1:1
CCAM - presenting sx
respiratory distress
Lobar emphysema - sx
Tachypnea and respiratory distress
Radiographic appearance of extra lobar sequestration
wedge shaped mass
Radiographic appearance of intralobar sequestration
cyst or solid
Jeune’s syndrome
restrictive chest wall syndrome - causing lung hypoplasia
New born Type 1 Esophageal atresia 6.2 cm gap
- 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.
CDH - mortality rate
Although prenatal diagnosis is accurate, the mortality remains high (80%).
CDH w/ polyhydramnios
Polyhydramnios is both the common prenatal marker for congenital diaphragmatic hernia and a predictor of poor clinical outcome.
Most common type of esophageal atresia
- atresia with tracheal fistula into the distal segment (85-90%)
Types of esophageal atresia
- atresia with no tracheal fistula (5-8%)
- atresia with tracheal fistula into the distal segment (85-90%)
- atresia with tracheal fistula into proximal segment (rare)
- atresia with tracheal fistula into both segments (rare)
- “H-type” tracheal fistula without atresia (5%)
Type 1 esophageal atresia
- atresia with no tracheal fistula (5-8%)
Type 2 esophageal atresia
- atresia with tracheal fistula into the distal segment (85-90%)
Type 3 esophageal atresia
- atresia with tracheal fistula into proximal segment (rare)
Type 4 esophageal atresia
- atresia with tracheal fistula into both segments (rare)
Type 5 esophageal atresia
- “H-type” tracheal fistula without atresia (5%)
The underlying mechanism for the development of CCAM?
The underlying mechanism for the development of CCAM is segmental bronchial atresia
perhaps resulting from either:
- primary disruption during fetal lung bud development
- disruption of the fetal bronchial circulation.
DDx of ring and sling by symptoms:
The focus should be to elucidate symptoms. PA sling will typically have airway symptoms only. Vascular rings will have both respiratory and feeding symptoms.
general definition vascular ring
Abnormality of the aortic arch that results in either a complete or partial encirclement of the trachea or esophagus
general definition of vascular sling
Left PA originates from the right PA and passes between the trachea and esophagus
Anomalies associated with VSD - what % of patients with VSD ? - what are they (8)
Remember that 50% of patients with VSD have associated pathologies
- Trisomy 21
- Left SVC
- TAPVR
- Additional VSD (usually posterior and muscular) PDA
- Accessory orifice to the AV valve
- Aortic arch abnormalities
- Conotruncal - TOF, DORV, Transposition
- How common is late operation required after repair of TOF?:
The frequency of Late Operation following at TOF Repair:
- 10%-15%
