A

Incomplete fusion of the endocardial
cushions which form primum atrial septum, A-V valves, and inlet ventricular septum

A deficiency or absence of septal tissue immediately above and/or below the normal plane of A-V valves. The valves are abnormal in shape and/or function

Q

Morbidity/mortality of AVSD?

High what can prolong life?
repaired btwn 4-6month % survival?

A
  • Children with a complete AV canal fail to thrive in the first few months of life.
  • Patients may survive the first few years of life if the PVR is high
  • High PVR decreases left to right shunting, increases LVEF
  • If AV canal is repaired between 4-6 months of life, survival is >80%

Q

AV septal defects occur at the embryonic age of what?

A

of 34-36 days when fusion of the endocardial

Q

AVSD embryology end result — •If the leaflet opens preferentially toward a ventricle, what occurs?

A

•If the leaflet opens preferentially toward a ventricle, (limiting flow to the other ventricle), hypoplasia occurs and creates an unbalanced AVSD

Q

Complete AVSD - where is defect? AV valve?

A

All chambers can mix
Defect is one in which there are defects in all structures formed by the endocardial cushions.
•Therefore, there are defects (holes) in the atrial and ventricular septal, and the AV valve remains undivided or “common”.

Q

Partial AVSD AKA

A

This type of atrial septal defect is referred to as an ostium primum atrial septal defect, and is usually associated with a cleft in the mitral valve that causes the valve to leak (mitral regurgitation-MR)

22
Q

Partial AVSD

Ostium Primum ASD w/MV cleft

A

Partial mixing

23
Q

Partial AVSD Considerations (3)

A

Conduction system disruption (A-V node displaced inferiorly between coronary sinus and ventricular crest)
•Coronary sinus ostium often displaced
•Associated anomalies: PDA, persistent LSVC

24
Q

Delineated vs.

Non-delineated flow

A

Partial AVSD - delineated

Complete AVSD - non-delineated

25
Q

Delineated vs.

Non-delineated flow

A

Partial AVSD - delineated

Complete AVSD - non-delineated

26
Q

Transitional AVSD

A

looks similar to the complete form of atrioventricular septal defect, but the leaflets of the common AV valve are stuck to the ventricular septum, thereby effectively dividing the valve into two valves and closing most of the hole between the ventricles

27
Q

a transitional atrioventricular septal defect behaves more like a what?

A

partial atrioventricular septal defect, even thought it looks more like a complete atrioventricular septal defect

28
Q

Surgical Correction of AVSD is all about what?

A

It’s all about pulmonary blood flow

29
Q

Palliative Surgical Correction of AVSD for excessive pulmonary flow: how? (increase what? decrease what?)

A
  • PA Band:
  • Increases PVR
  • Decreases Pulmonary Flow
  • Decreases Pulmonary Over-circulation
30
Q

Palliation surgery for AVSD for insufficient pulmonary flow: how: for who?

A

In patients with inadequate pulmonary flow/hypoxemia, a Blalock-Taussig-Thomas
shunt or central shunt will be used

31
Q

Surgical Repair of AVSD Palliation repair types?

A

PA Band
B-T Shunt
Central Shunt

32
Q

The treatment of choice for an AVSD is what?

A

complete surgical repair

33
Q

Surgical Correction of AVSD •Two Types of Complete Repair?

A
  • Bi-ventricular Repair

* Univentricular Repair

34
Q

Surgical Correction of AVSD •Two Types of Complete Repair?

A
  • Bi-ventricular Repair

* Univentricular Repair

35
Q

Bi-ventricular Repair
The VSD is often closed with?
The ASD is often closed with?
Valve repair technique?

A
  • synthetic patch (Dacron).
  • pericardial patch

•Attempt to repair the abnormal valve.
This is accomplished by suturing/cutting the cleft (the cut in the valve leaflets) to recreate a two-leaflet mitral valve.
•The tricuspid valve may also be repaired.

36
Q

Surgical Goals of Univentricular Repair?

culminates in what?

A

•The eventual goal of surgical repair is to separate pulmonary and venous outflow, and is usually done with staged procedures,
culminating in the Fontan Procedure

37
Q

Univentricular Repairs AVSD - stage 1

A

Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt: usually performed within the first few days after birth, and establishes a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt between the brachiocephalic artery or the right subclavian artery, to the right pulmonary artery via (usually) a tubed homograft or synthetic graft.

38
Q

Univentricular Repairs AVSD - stage 2

A

Bi-Directional Glenn Procedure or Hemi-Fontan
:usually performed at 4-6 months after birth as a bridge to Fontan completion. The BT shunt and pulmonary artery band is usually removed. The
superior vena cava is then attached to right
pulmonary artery, creating a systemic venous
-to-pulmonary connection

39
Q

Hemi-Fontan Procedure
(Bi-directional Cavopulmonary Anastomosis)
•Anastamosis where?

A
  • Anastamosis PA/Right atrial appendage

* SVC is patched

40
Q

Hemi-Fontan Procedure
(Bi-directional Cavopulmonary Anastomosis)
•Anastamosis where?

A
  • Anastamosis PA/Right atrial appendage

* SVC is patched

41
Q

Univentricular Repairs AVSD - stage 3

A

Fontan Completion:
Usually performed at 2-3 years of age; the inferior vena cava is connected to the right pulmonary artery via a tunnel like patch within the right atrium (Lateral Tunnel Fontan), or by creating a conduit for IVC flow outside the right atrium (Extracardiac Fontan)

42
Q

Fontan Intracardiac two aspects?

Univentricular Repairs AVSD

A

Atrial Baffle
Lateral Tunnel

connect IVC and SVC inside RA kinda so no blood flows into the RA thus non goes into the heart it just goes straight into the pulmonary arteries
Fontan Fenestration present

43
Q

Fontan Extracardiac procedure?

Univentricular Repairs AVSD

A

shunt from IVC to pulmonary arteries outside of RA
and SVC is connected directly to pulmonary arteries and so none goes into RA thus heart
Fontan Fenestration present

44
Q

Fontan Fenestrations act as what?

A

fenestration acts as a pop-off valve

45
Q

Why is atrioventricular canal a concern? (3)

A

•If not treated, this heart defect can cause lung
disease.
•larger volume of blood than normal must be
handled by the right side of the heart.
•causes higher volume than normal and higher
pressure than normal in the blood vessels in the lungs

46
Q

Why is atrioventricular canal a concern? (3)

A

•If not treated, this heart defect can cause lung
disease.
•larger volume of blood than normal must be
handled by the right side of the heart.
•causes higher volume than normal and higher
pressure than normal in the blood vessels in the lungs

47
Q

What if Atrioventricular canal goes untreated?

A
  • The lungs are able to cope with this extra volume of blood at high pressure for a while.
  • lungs become damaged by this extra volume of blood at high pressure.
  • The blood vessels in the lungs get thicker.
  • With time, these changes in the lungs become irreversible
48
Q

CPB Circuit Considerations of AVSD

•Palliation stage - shunts

A

Shunts: Usually done early with small size to

prevent damage caused by flow and pressure

49
Q

CPB Considerations of AVSD use or not?
PA Band?
BT shunt?
Central shunt?

A

May/may not utilize CPB (standby)
PA Band: off CPB
BT shunt: off CPB
Central Shunt: both on and off CPB

50
