Absent Pulmonary Valve - what happens?
Rare defect

4+ PI
Flood pulmonary arteries (pulmonary overcirculation)
Massive dilation of Pulmonary Arteries
Lead to extrinsic compression of the bronchial airway leads to abnormal development of bronchial tree.
Associated with VSD
Absent Pulmonary Valve associated with what?
VSD
Absent Pulmonary Valve leads to?
Massive dilation of Pulmonary Arteries
Lead to extrinsic compression of the bronchial airway leads to abnormal development of bronchial tree.
Absent Pulmonary Valve AKA ?
AKA. TOF with Absent Pulmonary Valve
Absent Pulmonary Valve treatment? (3)
Plication of the Pulmonary Arteries
Pulmonary Valve Replacement
VSD Closure
Absent Pulmonary Valve shunting?
R -> L shunting
systemic desaturation
Absent Pulmonary Valve respiratory involvement ?
Respiratory impairment
Compression of airway = compromised sats
Absent Pulmonary Valve three aspects?
- Absent Pulmonary Valve
- Dilated Pulmonary Arteries
- VSD
Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA w/IVS)
what fails to form?
valves involed how?
Complete atresia of pulmonary valve Pulmonary valve fails to form late in development RV and Tricuspid Valve Hypoplastic PA is normal size Large ASD will decompress RA Severe hypoplasia of RV results in creation of Coronary Artery Sinusoids* Fistula between the RV and coronaries * Can be catastrophic
Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA w/IVS) what is created by the severe hypoplasia of RV?
Severe hypoplasia of RV results in creation of Coronary Artery Sinusoids*
Fistula between the RV and coronaries
* Can be catastrophic
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum: Pathophysiology
Pulm BF? shunting?
Pulmonary Blood flow entirely dependent on PDA
Requires PGE-1 infusion after birth
R-> L shunting atrially
Coronary perfusion dependent on increased driving forces of obstructed RV (RV increased resistance is good)
Decompressing RV = Ischemia
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum: Pathophysiology
Coronary perfusion dependent on what?
Coronary perfusion dependent on increased driving forces of obstructed RV (RV increased resistance is good)
Decompressing RV = Ischemia
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum: treatment? 4
- PGE-1 to maintain duct patency
RV dependent Sinusoids - Balloon atrial septostomy to decompress the RA
- NO RV dependent Sinusoids
Open the atretic Pulmonary valve via transcatheter or surgical valvotomy - Systemic to PA shunt or PDA stent
Need shunt b/c RV is poorly compliant and hypertrophied
Poor RV output
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum Post operative course:
Prone to hemodynamic instability
Possibly delay chest closure
Length of Stay: 1-2 weeks
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum characteristics? 5
- ASD
- Atretic Pulmonary Valve
- PDA
- Hypoplastic RV
- Hypoplastic TV
Pulmonary Atresia–with VSD
AKA
Aka. TOF with Pulmonary Atresia (Extreme form of TOF)
Discontinous–Pulmonary blood flow provided via Aortopulmonary Collaterals
Normal development of the RV
Large VSD
May have an ASD
Wide variations
Pulmonary Atresia–with VSD
Failure of the development of the pulmonary valve
Underdeveloped RV outflow tract and main PA
Branch PAs may be confluent and fed by ductus or discontinuous and hypoplastic.
Pulmonary Atresia–with VSD
AKA
Aka. TOF with Pulmonary Atresia (Extreme form of TOF)
Wide variations
Pulmonary Atresia–with VSD -
how is pulm BF affected?
Discontinous–Pulmonary blood flow provided via Aortopulmonary Collaterals
Normal development of the RV
Pulmonary Atresia–with VSD
VSD - size
Large VSD
May have an ASD
Wide variations
Pulmonary Atresia–w VSD Pathophysiology 3
Complete intracardiac mixing -Systemic desaturation/ cyanosis Aortopulmonary collaterals -Porgressive stenosis -Hypoxemia “True pulmonary arteries” are hypoplastic
Pulmonary Atresia–With VSD
Confluent branch PAs which are fed by ductus what is done?
Complete surgical repair
Placement of RV to PA conduit (Rastelli Procedure)
Close VSD
Pulmonary Atresia–With VSD
Hypoplastic branch PAs with aortopulmonary vessels what is done?
-Surgical approach is varied and patient specific
-Unifocalization of Aortopulmonary (A-P) collaterals
-RVOT reconstruction
Staged or do it all together and incorporate AP collateral unifocalization into the RVOT conduit
-Eventual closure of the VSD after RVOT
reconstruction/unifocalization
Ensure pulmonary flow adequate
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS)- % of CHD
10% of Congenital Heart Diseases
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS) - is what?
Pulmonary Valve and/or RV outflow tract is
restricted
Range from Mild to Severe
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS) causes what?
PS causes obstruction to the ejection of blood from the RV (forces RV tension development)
Increased work load of the ventricle
Severe and/or Prolonged = Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
Pulmonary Stenosis Type
Supravalvular Stenosis
Pulmonary artery lumen above the pulmonary valve opening is narrowed
Can be main or branch PA
Pulmonary Stenosis Type: Valvular Stenosis
Leaflets of PV thickened/ fused at edges
Valve doesn’t open fully
May see post-stenotic dilation of the main PA
Valve may be bicuspid
Pulmonary Stenosis Type: Subvalvular
Stenosis (Infundibular)
RVOT stenosis, below Pulmonary Valve
Obstructed by muscular tissue
Pulmonary Stenosis - May be classified by RV Pressure- Mild?
45mmHg or less
Pulmonary Stenosis - May be classified by RV Pressure - Moderate???
46-89mmHg
Moderate pulmonary stenosis (or higher), will see RVH
Pulmonary Stenosis - May be classified by RV Pressure - Severe??
90mmHg (suprasystemic)
Will develop right heart failure
PS in infancy is always severe
Pulmonary Stenosis if there is an ASD what will occur?
Right to left shunting will occur
Cyanosis
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis - If the defect is purely valvular?
Balloon valvuloplasty
Commisurotomy-incise the fused commisures via direct vision
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis, Infundibular Stensosis?
Hypertrophied muscle in the outflow tract is resected
Repair of Pulmonary Stenosis, Supravalvular Stenosis??
Depends where stenotic lesion is
Remove stenosis/ balloon angioplasty or stent
Patch repair/ enlargement (eyeball like)
Pulmonary Stenosis - types?
A. Supravalvular
B. Valvular Stenosis
C. Subvalvular/Infundibular Stenosis
