Congenital Anomalies Flashcards
secundum asd
located mid IAS, most common
close to fossa ovalis
primum asd
located inferior portion of IAS, associated with mv and av defects
sinus venosus asd
located in superior part of IAS, near entrance of SVC
common atrium asd
absence or near absence of ASD forming a single common atrial chamber
coronary sinus asd
near coronary sinus, inferior portion of IAS
primum asd results from
when the septum primum fails to fuse with the endocardial cushion during separation of atria
sinus venosus asd is associated with
partial anomalous pulmonary venous
for a right to left shunt
the PVR has to be greater than the SVR
also Qp/Qs less than 1
for a left to right shunt
PVR less than SVR
Qp/Qs greater than 1
Qp is…
pulmonic flow
normally right heart output
Qs is…
systemic flow
left heart output
what does the computer need to calculate Qp/Qs ratio
- LVOT diameter (PLAX)
- LVOT VTI (PW)
- RVOT diameter (2-d from PSAX)
- RVOT VTI (PW)
what to look for on echo for an ASD
- view IAS in PSAX apical 4 and 5 and subcostal
- is IAS is aneurysmal
- use color doppler with PRF less than 40
- look for RA enlargement
bubble study
is positive you will see a burst of bubbles cross from right to left within the 3-4 beats after injection, repeated with valsalva
if bubbles are seen in the left heart after 5 beats…
may indicate an intrapulmonary shunt
angel wings closure repair
transcatheter device for asd
2 disk system
amplatzer PFO occluder
patients who have had a cryptogenic stroke from embolus, 2 flat disk are unfolded on each side
perimembranous vsd
between right and non coronary cusp
most common vsd
usually high on septal wall, usually aneurysmal
trabecular or muscular VSD
usually by the paps, low on the septal wall in the muscular part close to the apex
may have a swiss cheese pattern
outlet VSD
between rvot and lvot
associated with AV prolapse
seen in psax, plax sub5
inlet VSD
bordered by mv, and tv
associated with atrioventricular septal defect
inlet vsd in seen in
PSAX (MV & pap level), AP4 and sub4
VSD echo findings
view ivs, plax, psax, ap4 5 3
eval with color doppler
what to look for an VSD
left atrial enlargement
LV enlargement
RVH
AV prolapse
