CT surgery (pestana) Flashcards
Done
Baby who has trouble swallowing, stridor, and episodes of respiratory distress w/ “crowing” respirations and hyperextended positioning. Barium swallow shows extrinsic compression of tracheobronchial tree and/or esophagus. Dx?
Vascular rings
What test do you order to differentiate btwn vascular rings and tracheomalacia? Also, which symptom of vascular rings would be missing in tracheomalacia?
Bronchoscopy: shows segmental tracheal compression in vascular rings
Tracheomalacia lack dysphagia
How do you treat vascular rings?
Surgery that divides the smaller of the 2 aortic arches
In general, what’s the best way to Dx morphologic cardiac anomalies?
Echo
What type of shunts cause murmur, pulmonary circulation overload, and long-term damage to pulm vasculature?
L-to-R shunts
Patient in late infancy w/ PMH of freq colds + faint systolic pulm flow murmur and fixed split S2. Dx?
ASD
How do you dx ASD?
Echo
Tx of ASD?
Closure (surgical or cath)
2-3 mo old baby w/ failure to thrive and loud pansystolic murmur @LSB. CXR: increased pulm vasculature markings. Dx?
VSD
Dx of VSD?
Echo
MC site of VSD?
High in membranous septum
How do you treat a typical VSD?
Surgical closure
What type of VSD produces a murmur but otherwise few symptoms?
Small, restrictive VSD low in the muscular septum
2-3 mo old baby w/ small, restrictive VSD low in the muscular septum. Tx?
Obs- most close spontaneously w/in first 2-3 yr of life.
3 day old baby w/ bounding peripheral pulses and a continuous “machinery-like” murmur. Dx?
PDA
Dx of PDA?
Echo
Treatment of PDA in a preemie who hasn’t gone into CHF?
Close w/ indomethacin
Tx of PDA in full-term babies, preemies w/ CHF, and preemies who don’t close w/ indomethacin? 2 options
Surgical closure or embolization w/ coils
What type of shunt p/w murmurs, diminished vascular markings in the lung, and cyanosis?
R-to-L
Which R-to-L shunt is cyanotic but kills by overloading the pulmonary circulation?
Truncus arteriosus
5 yo who is small for their age w/ bluish lips and fingertips, clubbing, and cyanotic spells relieved by squatting. Dx?
ToF
Young child w/ systolic ejection murmur in left 3rd ICS, CXR showing decreased vascular markings and a small heart, and EKG signs of RVH. Dx?
ToF
Dx of ToF?
Echo
Tx of ToF?
