Q

PFO

A

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small channel that has little hemodynamic consequence; it is a remnant of the fetal foramen ovale.
In some cases the PFO can be larger and require treatment
Channel from birth
Normally closes due to pressure changes very early in life
“flap valve”

18
Q

How does PFO close?

A

The initial inflation of the lungs causes
changes:
Decreases PVR results in increased blood flow from PA.
That increased amount of blood flows from the RA to the RV and into the PA’s and less blood flows through the foramen ovale to the left atrium
In addition, more blood returns from the lungs which increases the pressure in the LA.
The increased LA pressure and decreased RA pressure (due to pulmonary resistance) forces blood against the septum primum causing the foramen ovale to close.
This action functionally completes the
separation of the heart into two pumps

26
Q

what size ASD may result in a clinically remarkable left-to-right shunt?

A

large ASD (>9mm)

Blood will shunt from the LA to the RA.
This extra blood from the left atrium may cause a volume overload of both the RA and the RV (RA dilatation-> RA fibrosis) .
If untreated, this condition can result in enlargement of the right side of the heart and ultimately heart failure

27
Q

ASD present -> Increased right sided volume -> _______ -> Tricuspid annular dilatation (TR) -> Pulmonary congestion -> Pulmonary hypertension

A

Right atrial and ventricular dilatation

28
Q

ASD present -> Increased right sided volume -> Right atrial and ventricular dilatation -> _______ -> Pulmonary congestion -> Pulmonary hypertension

A

Tricuspid annular dilatation (TR)

29
Q

ASD present -> Increased right sided volume -> Right atrial and ventricular dilatation -> Tricuspid annular dilatation (TR) -> Pulmonary congestion -> _______

A

Pulmonary hypertension

30
Q

ASD present -> _____ -> Right atrial and ventricular dilatation -> _____ -> Pulmonary congestion -> Pulmonary hypertension

A

Increased right sided volume

Tricuspid annular dilatation (TR)

31
Q

Any process that increases the pressure in the

LV can cause worsening of what??

A

the left-to-right shunt.
It also works on the right heart
Included are systemic HTN which increases the pressure that the LV has to generate in order to open the aortic valve

32
Q

ASD pathophysiology: The RV will have to push out more blood than the left ventricle due to the L-> R shunt.
This constant overload of the right side of the heart will cause what??? and eventually what?
Qp/Qs??

A

an overload of the entire pulmonary vasculature.
(Pulmonary over-circulation)
Qp/Qs > 1.5/1.0 is a problem
Eventually pulmonary HTN will develop

33
Q

In an ASD – The pulmonary hypertension will cause the heart to have what two things increased – ??

A

The pulmonary hypertension will cause the
RV to face increased afterload (PVR) in addition to the increased preload that the shunted blood from the LA to RA caused

34
Q

In an ASD - The RV will be forced to generate higher tension/pressures to try to overcome the pulmonary HTN.
This may lead to what???

A

right ventricular failure

dilatation and decreased systolic function of the RV

35
Q

If an ASD is left uncorrected?
Pressure in the right heart___left heart
RA pressure___ LA pressure

A

Pressure in the right heart>left heart
RA pressure> LA pressure
The pressure gradient reverses across the ASD the shunt will reverse a right-to-left shunt (R->L) will now exist.
This shunt reversal phenomena is known as Eisenmenger’s syndrome
Once right-to-left shunting occurs, oxygen-poor blood gets shunted to the left side of the heart.
This will cause signs of cyanosis.

36
Q

Eisenmenger’s syndrome?

A

The pressure gradient reverses across the ASD the shunt will reverse a right-to-left shunt (R->L) will now exist.
This shunt reversal phenomena is known as Eisenmenger’s syndrome
Once right-to-left shunting occurs, oxygen-poor blood gets shunted to the left side of the heart.
This will cause signs of cyanosis.

37

Arterial -?
Venous: ? 2 options?
Venting: ?

A

Arterial :Aortic
Venous:Bicaval (total CPB)
Single Atrial if the infant is small and DHCA is anticipated
Venting: may use direct venting with a flexible since the heart is open

43
Q

for ASD surgical procedure
CPG??
Case time? Temp?

A

Cardioplegia: Antegrade, usually a single dose will suffice

:Case is very, very quick, 5-10 min pump run
Will XC, Stay warm “drift down temp”
Can be challenging: (on CPB, XC, give CP, warm, correct Ca++,lytes, ABG’s, off CPB-MUF)

44
Q

The ventricular septum consists of??

A

Inferior muscular portion

Superior membranous portion

45
Q

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a defect in the?

A

ventricular septum, the wall dividing the left and right ventricles of the heart.

46
Q

Regions of VSDs?

A

Inlet
Outlet (supracristal)
Peri-membranous Septum
Muscular Septum

47
Q

VSD %s?
Membranous
Muscular %
Supracristal (Outflow) %

A

75%
20%
5%

48
Q

Muscular ventricular septal defect is found in four locations:

A

anterior, mid-ventricular, posterior, apical

•Muscular VSDs are found in the lower part of the septum. They’re surrounded by muscle.
(most close on their own during early childhood)

49
Q

Membranous VSD located where?

A

The membranous portion, which is close to the atrioventricular node, is most common in adults and older children
Membranous VSDs are located near the heart valves
These VSDs can close at any time

50
Q

Supracristal is what type of VSD? and where are they found?

A

outflow tract VSD sub-valvular in nature

Outlet VSDs are found in the part of the ventricle where blood leaves the heart.
These are the rarest type of VSD.

51
Q

In supracristal VSDS – what two things can be considered synonymous?

A

The crista supraventricularis can be considered synonymous with the infundibular (or conus) ventricular septum

52
Q

Rarest type of VSD?

A

Outlet VSD (supracristal VSD)

53
Q

The infundibular (or conus) septum separates what two things?

A

the tricuspid and pulmonary valves and accounts for the more superior placement of the pulmonary valve relative to the aortic valve.

54
Q

infundibular (or conus) septum provides what ??

A

This portion of the septum also provides muscular rigid support for the aortic valve, especially the right coronary cusp (think prolapse)

55
Q

VSD -
During systole, some of the blood from the ___ leaks into the right ventricle, passes through the lungs and reenters the___ via the pulmonary veins and left atrium

A

left ventricle

left ventricle

56
Q

2 net effects of VSD?

A

First, the circuitous refluxing of blood causes volume overload on the LV.
Second, because the left ventricle normally has a much higher systolic pressure (~120 mm Hg) than the right ventricle (~20 mm Hg), a L–>R shunt persists
this leakage of blood into the right ventricle elevates right ventricular pressure and volume, causing pulmonary hypertension

57
Q

When are VSD effects more noticeable ?

A

This effect is more noticeable in patients with larger defects, who may present with breathlessness, poor feeding and failure to thrive in infancy.
Patients with smaller defects may be asymptomatic.

58
Q

Cardiac Septation

A 
Occurs at Day 27
Lasts 10 days
The formation of the cardiac septa occur
simultaneously
During this time, no major changes in external
appearance
59
Q

Ventricular septation - how is it formed?

A

The ventricular septum is formed by the outgrowth of the muscular ridge at the interventricular foramen.
The ventricular septum grows upward from the apex of the heart to the base of the heart

60
Q

VSD Cannulation
Arterial?
Venous?
Venting

A

Arterial: Aortic
Venous: Bicaval (Total CPB)
Single Atrial if the infant is small and DHCA is anticipated
Venting: may use direct venting with a flexible since the heart is open

61
Q

VSD – CPG? Temp? Time?

A

Cardioplegia: Antegrade, usually a single dose will suffice

Case is quick depending on VSD location
Case may be 32°C, or DHCA if a small infant
Can be challenging, but usually you have more time with VSD
Ventricular function may be related to of the length of time the VSD has been present

62
