Q

Gross path lesions TV atresia

A
  • Absence of connection btw morphologic RA and RV

o Imperforated TV membrane in 5% of cases

  • Complete agenesis/absence of TV → no communication btw RA and RV
    o RV hypoplasia
    o Absent inlet portion of RV

Q

Pathophys TV atresia

A

systemic venous return → RA → ASD → LA → mixes w pulmonary venous return → single AV valve → LV → systemic and pulmonary circulations
o Functionally univentricular heart

  • Normal GA: blood flows from RA → ASD → LA
    o If VSD: will provide pulmonary blood flow (LV → VSD → RV → PA)
     Large VSD: pulmonary overcirculation and ↓ systemic blood flow
  • TGA: pulmonary overcirculation → L-CHF
  • No obstruction to pulmonary blood flow →larger volume of pulmonary venous return → high systemic O2
    o If RVOTO and ↓ pulmonary blood flow → systemic hypoxemia

Q

Goal of sx correction TV atresia

A

separation of systemic and pulmonary circuits
 Provide adequate pulmonary blood flow → ↓ hypoO2
 Prevent pulmonary overcirculation/PH → can lead to LV failure
 Preserve PA anatomy for later sx

Q

Sx correction if no concurrent TGA TV atresia

A

 Systemic to pulmonary shunt performed at 6-8wks
 Primary bidirectional Glenn procedure in older children
* Classic Glenn’s shunt = CrVC → RPA
* No volume/pressure overload of single ventricle compared to systemic-PA shunting
* Provide venous flow to lungs for oxygenation and improve O2 saturation

Q

Sx correction if concurrent TGA TV atresia

A

 Early palliation
* Pulmonary artery banding → ↓ pulmonary blood flow
* Norwood stage 1 procedure if severe stenosis and hypoplastic Ao
 Fontan procedure: only if good ventricular fct, unobstructed systemic blood flow and minimal AV valve regurgitation
* Diversion of systemic venous return → PA bypassing RV
* Definitive palliative sx tx if biventricular repair is not possible
* Ideally: younger, ↓PVR/PAP, adequate PA diameter, normal RA, systemic venous connections, sinus rhythm
o If ↑ venous or RAP → ↑ mean PAP → pleural effusion
o If ↑PVR/PAP → ↓ forward flow → ↓ L side filling → ↓ CO
 Fenestrations btw systemic venous atrium (RA) and pulmonary venous atrium (LA) = safety valve to ensure adequate LV filling
 Total cavopulmonary anastomosis
* Tunnel in RA directing caval blood → PA through anastomosis on underside RPA
* Eliminate diated systemic venous reservoir w ↑ RAP
