A

reversal of shunt in descending Ao (pink fingers, blue toes) ie differential cyanosis
(pt with unrepair TOF have cyanosis of upper and LE)
(Pt’s with coarcation and anomaloous return of PV do not have cyanosis)

19
Q

ASD Closure

A

QP:QS>1.5-2 with vol o/l signs (right heart enlargement)

20
Q

ASD Sx

A 
Fixed split S2
Pulm outflow murmur
RBBB
RAD
RAE
21
Q

Noonan’s syndrome

A 
Pulmonary stenosis 2/2 dysplastic valve
high pitched systloic click
cresendo decrescendo murmur 
S2 widely split (wider = worse)
delayed S2 2/2 prlonged ejection time from PS
lengthens and peaks later with worse obstruction
developmental delay
short stature
predilection for leukemia
22
Q

PFO

A

~25% population

23
Q

PFO etiology

A

1) First 2 months dev crescent wall (septum primum) divides LA/RA with hole called ostium primum
2) Eventually crescent wall closes off ostium primum -> 2nd hold forms in septum primum - ostium secundum
3) 2nd septum (septum secundum) grows and partially covers ostium primum - hole called fossa ovalis
4) IVC blood directed across fossa ovalis via eustacian valve in RA
5) Birth - LAP rises as lungs perfuse -path through foramen ovales forced shut by LAP>RAP (was held open as RAP>LAP - kept flap of septum secundum open.
6) Septal aneurysm makes potential path more likely to open

24
Q

Shone complex

A

Left heart obstructive dz

supravalvular MS, Parachute MV, coarctation of Ao, subvavlular AS, AS

25
Q

TOF

A

Coronary anamoly - LAD from RCA - relevant if surgical procedure at RVOT -> can ligate LAD -> instead of RVOT patch can use RV->MPA conduit

26
Q

Benign coronary anamoalies

A

1) Seperate origen of right conus artery
2) Seperate ostia of LAD and Cx (no LM)
3) Origen of LCx from RCA or right sinus of valsalva (coursing posterior to aorta)

27
Q

D-TGA

A

origin of RCA from posterior CC

origin of both RCA/LCx posterior CC

28
Q

QP:QS Calculation

A

MVO2=(3*SVC)+IVC/4

big artery-big veins
lung artery-lung vein

PV-PA

29
Q

L-TGA

A

RCA from ANTERIOR CC
systemic RV dysfxn
heart block 2/2 unusual location of AV node and HIS bundle -> high grade AVB possible
VSD

30
Q

Eisenmengers

A

cyanosis, R->L shunt
usually from defect distal to TV
ie VSD, PDA, ASVD full
unlikely with TOV even with VSD because subpulmonic stenosis protects pulm circ from inc’d pressure

31
Q

L-TGA - congentially corrected TGA

A

can present in adulthood if no other associated lesions

anteriorly placed conduction system - incidence of CHB high (2%/year)

32
Q

Tricuspid atresia s/p fontan

A

Protein losing enteropathy
edmema, pleural effusion, low albumin, diarrhea
Dx: Check stool alpha 1 antitypsin level

33
Q

Tricuspid/pulmonary atresia repair

A

Glenn - SVC->disconnected RPA (this didn’t work as well beacuse encouraged right lung pulm AVM and cyanosis)
OR
Bidirectional Glenn -> main PA trunk disconnected -> SVC-> RPA (now SVC blood to both lungs)

NEXT:
Fontan - IVC blood to lungs:
1) Classic - RAA->main PA (no glenn performed here -> all blood (SVC&IVC) go into RA->RAA->main PA)
2) Tunnel from IVC to RPA - offset to prevent competitive flow with glenn - lung not used to all this flow and can cause initial pulm HTN/resisteance - back pressure on fontan tunnel may be high -> lateral tunnels are often fenestrated into RA along way to allow for pop-off valve to relieve some of back pressure - later once lungs get used to pressure and pulm resistance lowers fenestrations are closed with closure device
(fontan hemodyn can fail with any cause of pulmn HTN because relies on systemic venous pressure exceeding PAP

higher prssure in hepatic vein from backflow can cause cirrhosis and HCC

Poor toleration of atrial arrythmias
coagulaopahty
PLE

34
Q

VSD Repair

A 
PVR=(mPAP-PCWP)/CO
normal ~1.5 (still L->R shunting)
Check QP:QS - pulm blood flow : systemic blood flow
vol o/l on echo (enlarged RV chambers)
PVR:SVR >2/3 high risk for closure VSD

When PVR inc’s with time with VSD -> R->L shunting/eisengengers, pulm/syst pressure ratio inc’s
cyanosis -> higher risk for closure

35
Q

Classic fontan

A

Direct connection RA-> PA
(Modern operations ie lateral tunnel or extracardiac conduit exclude RA)
Significant risk of atrial arrythmias - interatrial re-entrant tachycardia - fibrosis from surgery
DCCV for tx - TEE r/o atrial thrombus
Work up for FONTAN obstruction
if recurrent - antiarrythmics or ablation
can do surgical revision of fontan

36
Q

ASD

A

PE
TTE bubble study - need valsalva to make RAP>LAP
Fixed split S2
Pulmonic outflow murmur (soft systolic ejection murmru)

If large
RH enlargement
iRBBB
inc'd pulmonary vascularity
pulm HTN
Repair considerations
RH enargement without other explanation
if pulm HTN need to carefully consider
early repair better
less atrial arrythmias
less eisenmengers
37
Q

Aoritc coarct

A 
brachiofemoral pulse delay
Rib notching (enlargement of collaterals)
38
Q

Coronary artery fistula

A

Closure (surgical or perc)
Class I - large fistulae (asx)
-small fistula if documented ischemia, arrythmias, syst/diast dysfxn, chamber enlargement, endartitis

39
Q

ASD repair

A

QP:QS>1.5 and RH chamber enlargement

If QP:QS<1.0 then right to left shunting (Eisengengers) and should not be closed
