Umbilical vein
brings oxygenated blood from placenta to fetus
Ductus Venosus
short cut from umbilical vein to IVC
Foramen Ovale
R atrium –> L atrium
Ductus Arteriosus
blood from Pulmonary Artery –> Aorta (directs blood away from the lungs)
After birth, Ductus Arteriosus:
shunting not needed
Blood flow can continue: 1-5 days
Closure by: 7-14 days
Most common congenital heart defect
VSD
VSD is associated with
Tetralogy of Fallot
Trisomy 21
Physical Exam of VSD
Harsh, holosystolic murmur at LLSB (Left LOWER sternal border)
EKG of VSD will show
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
CXR of VSD will show
Cardiomegaly, increased Pulmonary vascular markings
Tx for VSD
May spont close
Treat CHF (diuretics)
Surgical: Septal occlusion via cardiac cath VS Surgical closure vie median sternotomy*** (preferred)
Preferred surgical tx for VSD
Surgical closure via median sternotomy
