VALVULAR DEFECTS Flashcards
complete AVC Palliation
Shunt (Qp/Qs) Too much flow Not enough flow
Complete AVC Repair Staged repair
HFP/BDG
Complete AVC Repair Final stage
Fontan
Absent Pulmonary Valve
Rare defect
Pulmonary valve tissue not formed or incomplete
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
AKA.
TOF with Absent Pulmonary Valve
Absent Pulmonary Valve Respiratory impairment
R L shunting systemic desaturation
Compression of airway = compromised sats
Absent Pulmonary Valve Treatment:
Plication of the Pulmonary Arteries Pulmonary Valve Replacement VSD Closure
Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA w/IVS)
Complete atresia of pulmonary valve Pulmonary valve fails to form late in development. PA is normal size
Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA w/IVS) RV and Tricuspid Valve
hypoplastic. 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) ASD
Large ASD will decompress RA
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum
Pathophysiology
Pulmonary Blood flow entirely dependent on PDA
Requires PGE-1 infusion after birth
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum shunting
R L shunting atrially
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum coronary perfusion
ependent on increased driving forces of obstructed RV (RV increased resistance is good)
Decompressing RV = Ischemia
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum Treatment:
PGE-1 to maintain duct patency
RV dependent Sinusoids Balloon atrial septostomy to decompress the RA
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum Treatment: NO RV dependent Sinusoids
Open the atretic Pulmonary valve via transcatheter or
surgical valvotomy
Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum 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: and LOS
Prone to hemodynamic instability Possibly delay chest closure
Length of Stay: 1-2 weeks
Pulmonary Atresia
with Intact
Ventricular Septum CHARCTERISTICS
- ASD 2. Atretic Pulmonary Valve 3. PDA 4. Hypoplastic RV 5. Hypoplastic TV
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD
Aka.
TOF with Pulmonary Atresia (Extreme form of TOF)
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD is
Failure of the development of the pulmonary valve
Underdeveloped RV outflow tract and main PA
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD branch PA may be
confluent and fed by ductus or discontinuous and hypoplastic.
Discontinous – Pulmonary blood flow provided via Aortopulmonary Collaterals
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD RV
Normal development of the RV
Pulmonary Atresia – with VSD (VSD + ASD)
arge VSD May have an ASD
Wide variations
Pulmonary Atresia – With VSD
PathophysiologY
Complete intracardiac mixing
Systemic desaturation/ cyanosis
Pulmonary Atresia – With VSD aortopulmonary collaterals
Porgressive stenosis Hypoxemia
“True pulmonary arteries” are hypoplastic
Pulmonary Atresia – With VSD repair
Confluent branch PAs which are
fed by ductus. Complete surgical repair Placement of RV to PA conduit (Rastelli Procedure) Close VSD
Pulmonary Atresia – With VSD repair Hypoplastic branch PAs with aortopulmonary vessels
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) prevalence
10% of Congenital Heart Diseases
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS) what is it?
Pulmonary Valve and/or RV outflow tract is
restricted
Range from Mild to Severe
Pulmonary Stenosis (PS) causes
bstruction 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 Types
Supravalvular Stenosis
Pulmonary artery lumen above the pulmonary valve opening is
narrowed Can be main or branch PA
Pulmonary Stenosis Types 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 Types subvalvular stenosis
RVOT stenosis, below Pulmonary Valve Obstructed by muscular tissue
Pulmonary Stenosis
Pulmonary Stenosis
May be classified by RV Pressure
Mild: 45mmHg or less
Moderate: 46-89mmHg
Severe: 90mmHg (suprasystemic) Will develop right heart failure
PS in infancy is always
severe
(PS ) If there is an ASD –
Right to left shunting will occur
Cyanosis
Moderate pulmonary stenosis (or higher), will see
RVH
