Q

Tet Spells: What a Child Will Do

A

Squatting and the knee chest position will increase aortic wave reflection, increasing pressure on the left side of the heart decreasing the right to left shunt (think clamping distal to outflow)

Thus decreasing amount of deoxygenated blood entering the systemic circulation

41
Q

Central Shunt

A

Ascending aorta to the main PA

42

Advantages of Central Shunt

A

Applicability to small children with small peripheral vessels
Prevention of distortion of pulmonary arteries
Provision if equal pulmonary blood flow to both lungs
Lower occlusion rate (compared with the CBTS or MBTS techniques)
Avoidance of subclavian artery steal
Ease of closure during corrective repair

43
Q

When is surgery for TOF done?

A

When the infant is young; when the condition warrants, palliation is done (more often on TOF w/ PA)

44
Q

What correction is preferred over palliation?

A

Corrective surgery and is performed in the first few months of life (Less RV hypertrophy)

45
Q

Total repair of TOF Risk

A

iniitally carried high mortality risk
The risk has gone down steadily over the years
Surgey is now often carried out in infants

46
Q

The open-heart surgery for TOF is designed to:

A
  1. Relieve the RVOT stenosis by careful resection of the muscule
  2. Repair the VSD with a Gore-TEx patch or a homograft patch

*Additional reparative or reconstructive surgery may be done on patients as required by their particular cardiac anatomy

47

Two ways of TOF Repair

A

Transannular vs. Non-transannular

Q

Why would pacing wires be needed in surgically correcting TOF?

A

Due to large VSD patch

52
Q

Intracardiac incision for TOF reapir

A

will be a right atrotomy or right ventriculotomy- depending on the severity RVOT obstruction; tis will disrupt the conduction system

53
Q

57
Q

How quickly will the heart warm during surgical repiar?

A

Quickly; be prepared for lots of cardioplegia!

58
Q

What hsould you be careful with during surgical repair?

A

Your RV was stressed pre-op

Be careful of vasodilators post-op since low BP can worsen RV dysfunction

59
Q

What will you need during surgical repair to keep the blood pressure up?

A

Ionotropes

60
Q

What pressures will stay high post-op for a while?

A

CVP and RV pressures may stay high post op for a while

61
Q

Why is ECMO a possibility after surgical repair?

A

Due to RV dysfunction

62
Q

How do you deal with high hematrocrits?

A

know this in advance

63
Q

Why should you be careful with MUF?

A

It will be easy to get the HCt at 50% + (most likely will add volume pulled off when your warming)

65
Q

DORV

A

Double outlet right ventricle

66
Q

What is DORV?

A

The Aorta and Pulmonary artery both originate from the RV and blood form the LV passes across a VSD into the RV ito reach the great arteries

Pulmonary circulation is very high pressure with increased blood flow (as with a large VSD)

67
Q

68

CT

A

Conal tissue

69

A

TOF on one end to TGA on the other end

70
Q

Majority of cases of DORV occur with what?

A

Pulmonary stenosis and VSD, behaving as a severely cyanotic TOF

Classified according to the VSD location
One of the ways that DORV is diagnosed is by the location of the VSD

71
Q

A

Pulmonary stenosis and VSD, behaving as a severely cyanotic TOF

Classified according to the VSD location
One of the ways that DORV is diagnosed is by the location of the VSD

72
Q

Symptoms of DORV

A

Baby tires easily, especially when feeding
Bluish skin color (lips may be blue)
Clubbing (thickening of the nail beds) on toes and fingers
Failure to gain weight and grow
peripheral edema
Dyspnea

73
Q

Complications of DORV

A

CHF
Pulmonary HTN
irreversible damage to the lungs due to untreated high blood pressure in the lungs

74
Q

Types of DORV

A

Sub-aortic VSD
Sub-pulmonary VSD (Tausigg- Bing)
Doubly Committed VSD
Non-commited VSD

75
Q

What is the most common type of DORV?

A

Sub-aortic VSD

76
Q

Sub-aortic VSD

A

pathophysiology depends on the degree of PS. With PS, the pulmonary blood flow is decreased with variable cyanosis (like TOF).
In the absence of PS, the pulmonary blood flow is increased, resulting in heart failure (like a VSD)

77
Q

Sub-Pulmonary VSD DORV AKA

A

Taussig -Bing

78
Q

Sub- Pulmonary VSD DORV

A

PA preferentially receives LV oxygenated blood
Desaturated blood from the RV streams to the aortta9 Like with TGA)
This Taussig-Bing anomaly is a typical example of DORV with sub-pulmonary VSD
Similar to TGA

79
Q

Doubly Committed VSD DORV

A

Infundibular septum is absent leaving both aortic and pulmonary valves related to the VSD
CLinical features depend on the presence or absence of pulmonary stenosis

80
Q

Non Committed VSD DORV

A

The non-committed VSD is remote from the aortic and pulmonary valve
Most patients with non-committed VSD undergo single ventricular w/ palliative strategies

Univentricular appearance
Heart appearance

81
Q

Two basic types of repair for DORV

A

Anatomic- restores circulation w/ two ventricles

Univentricular- only one ventricle is functional

83
Q

Surgery: Subaortic VSD DORV

A

Intra-ventricular tunnel (LV–> VSD–> Ao)
Low risk
Age 6 months
Rastelli procedure for PS

84
Q

Intra-ventricular Tunnel: Subaortic VSD DORV

A

Channels (tunnel/patch) LV blood through the VSD to the oarta (LV–> VSD–> Aorta)
Uses of a patch (polytetrafluoroetylene [PTFE] that corresponds to the circumference of the aorta)

85
Q

Intra-ventricular Tunnel: Subaortic VSD DORV

A

Channels (tunnel/patch) LV blood through the VSD to the oarta (LV–> VSD–> Aorta)
Uses of a patch (polytetrafluoroetylene [PTFE] that corresponds to the circumference of the aorta)

86
Q

A

Complex intra-ventricular tunnel to Ao or PA
With infundibular resection
Close VSD to PA plus
Arterial switch procedure

87
Q

Surgery: Doubly Committed VSD DORV

A

Intra-ventricular tunnel (LV–> VSD–> Aorta)
PS or obstruction of the RVOT due to the tunnel may necessitate the creation of a right ventricle outflow patch or even a Rastelli)
The VSD, which is typically large, usually does not create difficulty in channeling left ventricular blood to the oarta with an intra-ventricular tunnel

88
Q

Surgery: Non-Committed VSD DORV

A

Most difficult to correct
Univentricular repair
Complex intra-ventricular tunnel to Ao or PA patch/baffle

Q

CPB Case Notes: DORV

A

Amazingly variable in length, severity, and can be difficult post-op in pressure regulation
Will resemble pump runs for TOF
Univentricular repairs will be of the Fontan Procedure nature
Depending on pre-op lung damage and pulmonary hypertension- ECMO again may be warranted

Make sure you know how you are going to deal with high hematocrits in severe cyanotic conditions
Be careful with MUF since it will be easy to get the HCt at 50% + (most likely will add volume pulled off when you’re warming)
