Lesions Flashcards
Four types of VSDs and location
Membranous
Inlet
Muscular
Outlet/ Malalignment
How do you estimate size of a VSD?
< 1/3 of aortic valve = small
1/3 to 100% of aortic valve = moderate
> 100% of aortic valve = large
What is the etiology of pulmonary congestion and FTT in a large unrestrictive VSD
LA hypertension from increased left sided flow
Why are inlet VSDs hard to repair in the neonatal period?
Poor integrity of the AV valves, which need to be incorporated into the repair
What VSD type is associated with aortic valve prolapse?
Outlet and perimembranous VSD. - right aortic cusp
What is an EKG finding in ASDs?
RsR’ in lead I and RV conduction delay
What does a gooseneck abnormality on echo represent?
AVSD
Describe two findings of AVSD on echo
In apical 4 chamber, the tricuspid and mitral valve are on the same plane
Gooseneck abnormality from sprung aorta in the absence of the conal septum
Where is the HIS bundle in AVC?
Displaced posteriorly and inferiorly
What is an EKG finding of AVC?
Northwest axis deviation - inferior in 2, 3 and AVF
Rastelli type C AVSD?
common bridging leaflet
When is a primary prevention ICD indicated for TOF?
LVEF < 35 and NYHA 2/3
How do the locations of anomalous PAs differ between truncus and TOF?
Truncus: Anomalous PA will be same side as arch
TOF: Anomalous PA will be opposite side as arch
Describe the arterial switch procedure

- Indications
- Complications
Describe the Rastelli procedure for TGA
- Indications
- Technique
Used in cases of VSD and LVOTO
No arterial switch
Baffling of the blood from the LV through the VSD to the aorta followed by creation of an RV-PA conduit
Three common associations with ccTGA
1) Tricuspid valve abnormallities (most common)
2) VSD
3) LVOTO
Describe the upper and lower extremity sat gradient in dTGA.
- normally
- conditions for reverse gradient
Normally- no gradient. Sats 75-80.
Reverse gradient- dTGA with pHTN.
What EP finding is commonly associated with ccTGA?
Complete heart block
Describe the difference between physiologic and anatomic repair in ccTGA
Physiologic: VSD closure +/- LVOTO repair. Already phsyiologically “normal” so just addressing associated lesions
Anatomic repair:
- Double switch: Atrial and arterial so that the LV is systemic
- Atrial switch with Rastelli if arterial switch is not possible 2/2 LVOTO
How does an aortic ventricular tunnel present?
Similarly to severe AI with bounding pulses, to-fro murmur except that the aortic valve is competent! Can also see this in a sinus of valsava fistula to the LV
