What is the echo protocol for identifying the location of Ostium primum ASD?
Assess degree of shunt with QP:QS ratio
36
What is the treatment of Ostium Primum ASD? What should be used?
Percutaneous device closure of the primum ASD is not an option due to 1. Proximity to the AV values and AV node 2. Woven Dacron Patch must be used
37

Investigate for a residual defect or leak around the patch repair and assess the AV valves
38

Inferior (CS lies within the AV groove)
42

Several SV related anomalies
43
What are Patent foramen ovale?
Closure at birth due to LT>RT atrial pressures (25% remain patent (PFO))
44
Flow will be what with PFOs?
LT > Right unless eisenmengers
45
What are echo features for PFOs?5
1. Look for flap 2. Small shunt (2-10mm) 3. Doppler often appears angular, with a winding path as it moves its way around the flap 4. High velocity 5. Contrast echo is useful to assess
46
What is the best way to look for PFOs?
TEE
47
In terms of Echo and ASD what do we look for?5 (anatomically)
1. RT sided chamber enlargement in both the RA and RV 2. RV volume overload 3. Paradoxical septal motion 4. Document the shunt direction 5. An ASD may permit a paradoxical embolism resulting in a stroke/TIA
48
How many planes should we image from with echo for ASD?
Multiple planes
49
In terms of echo detection for ASDs, transthoracic echo sensitivity from what window is the best ?
Subcostal window, when proper protocol is followed and decreased colour scale with zoom
50
What is contrast injections for ASD/PFO?
Peripheral venous injections of contrast material (microbubbles) show passage of micro-bubbles into the LA from RA even when flow is most LT >> RT. *this is due to the temporary time period in the cardiac cycle when RA pressure exceeds LA pressure*
51
In terms of contrast injections for ASD/PFO microbubbles,what may be used?
Agitated saline or commercial product
52
In terms of contrast injection for ASD/PFO we should see what to determine positive for PFO?
Agitated saline bubbles in the LA within 3 beats if positive for PFO
53
What structures and functions do we use to assess for ASD?5
1. RV size 2. RA size 3. TV annulus size 4. TR 5. RT heart volume
54
Ventricular septal defects are located where?
Within the IVS
55
What are different types of VSD? 4
1. **Membranous VSD (70-80%)** 2. Inlet VSD (5%) 3. Muscular VSD (trabecular 10-20%) 4. Outlet VSD (infundibular 5%)
56
VSDs are normally a type of what disorder?
Acyanotic CHD, Usually not serious enough to cause hypoxia
57
How does VSDs usually shunt blood?
Lt >>>> Rt shunting
58
VSD can occur in how many positions in the IVS?
Various positions
59
What is important to determine in terms of VSD?
Amount of blood moving across the IVS
60
How common is Gerbode VSD?
Rare
61
What is atrioventricular septal defect?
A spectrum of lesions characterized by deficient atrioventricular septation and a variety of AV valve abnormalities
62
What are things we see with AVSD?2
1. AV canal defect 2. **Endocardial cushion defect**
63
What are two main sub types of AVSD?
1. Complete AVSD 2. Incomplete AVSD
64
AVSD has a associations with what chromosomal disorder?
Strong association with T21
65
What do we see post operatively with AVSD?
AV (MV/TV) regurg
66
What are three things we see with complete AVSD?
1. Primum ASD 2. Inlet VSD 3. Common AV valve (MV/TV merged into 1)
67
What are some things we see in a partial/ incomplete AVSD?2
1.Primum ASD 2. Cleft in the anterior MV leaflet *Absence of an inlet VSD *Distinct MV and TV (each with a complete and separate annulus)
68
What is Shunt quantification Qp:Qs used for?3
1. ASD 2. VSD 3. PDA
69
What does Qp stand for?
Volume of blood going to lungs (pulmonary)
70
What does Qs stand for?
Volume of blood going to the aorta (systemic)
71
The volume of blood flow (Q) across an intracardiac shunt can be determined by what?
Measurements of stroke volume at 2 intracardiac sites
72
In most cases we can see shunt quantification where? (QP/QS)
1. Qp: Uses SV for RVOT (diameter +VTI) 2. Qs: Uses SV for LVOT (diameter + VTI)
73
In the normal heart, flow through the left and right sides of the heart are what? What does this mean?
Equal therefore normal Qp:Qs is
74
A hemodynamically significant shunt has what type of ratio?
Qp:Qs > 1.5:1
75
What does this image demonstrate?
ASD flow is represented by cylinders 1. Flow enters the RA from the LA through the ASD 2. Flow to the lungs through the TV and RVOT flow is increased 3. Flow entering the LA through the pulmonary veins increased
76
What does this image demonstrate?
PDA flow represented by cylinders Note that 1. Flow shunts from descending aorta to the pulmonary artery 2. Flow to lungs is increased 3. Flow to the pulmonary veins, LA, MV, LV, and LVOT are increased
76
What does this diagram demonstrate?
VSD Flow represented by cylinders Note that: 1. Flow from the LV enters the RV through the VSD 2. RVOT flow is increased 3. Flow to the lungs is increased 4. Flow to the pulmonary veins and MV is increased, this may lead to dilation of the LA and RA
77
What is the site of measurements?
78
RVSP is the absence of what?
RV outflow obstruction
79
How do we calculate RVSP with VSD?
80
VSDs are usually small and about what?
5-6 m/sec, if large in adult, eisenmenger's will set in
81
What do we report in terms of intracardiac shunts? What did we need to do for a successful interrogation? 4
1. Location (describe the actual name if you can) 2. When the heart is not immediately visible from parasternal view (try looking for situs abnormalities form the subcostal window) 3. Interrogate every heart thoroughly for VSD/ASD 4. Classify and quantify the VSD/ ASD using colour and spectral Doppler
