We reviewed the records of 135 patients with tricuspid atresia and 120 patients with double-inlet ventricle who underwent modified Fontan procedure from 1973 to June 1985. This represents 67% of the total number of patients undergoing the procedure during this period. There were 32 (12%) in-hospital
In 11 of 21 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed complete heart block, congestive heart failure with signs of non-immune hydrops fetalis was seen. In all 11 fetuses, cardiac malformations were present: complete atrioventricular canal with levocardia, situs inversus viscerum, and polysplenia: 5 cases;
At 6 years of age, a girl with tricuspid atresia underwent a Björk modified Fontan procedure with implantation of a Carpentier Edwards bioprosthesis between the right atrium and the right ventricle. Ten years later she developed increasing edema, ascites and pleural effusions. The work-up showed
A patient with tricuspid atresia, Potts' anastomosis, and longstanding pulmonary hypertension expired following expansion of an aneurysm of the pulmonary artery trunk. The aneurysm compressed the atria, obstructing an obligatory atrial septal defect, the superior vena cava and the right pulmonary
Nineteen children aged between 1.5 and 9.8 years (10 patients younger than 4 years) underwent total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) for complex congenital heart defects other than tricuspid atresia. Diagnoses included double inlet left ventricle (n = 11), transposition of the great arteries with a
BACKGROUND
In severe right heart obstruction (RHO), redistribution of cardiac output to the left ventricle (LV) is well tolerated by the fetal circulation. Although the same should be true of severely regurgitant tricuspid valve disease (rTVD) with reduced or no output from the right ventricle,
OBJECTIVE
To describe our experience in prenatal diagnosis and perinatal management of congenital atrioventricular heart block, as well as pacemaker treatment in the neonate.
METHODS
A total of 13 fetuses are included. The diagnosis of atrioventricular dissociation was established by Doppler heart
The results of the modified Fontan procedure were examined in 77 patients 18 years of age and older who underwent operation at this institution between October 1973 and December 1986. This series represents 16% of the patients undergoing the modified Fontan operation during that period. Of the 77
BACKGROUND
Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a disorder characterized by abnormal and often profound enteric protein loss. It's relatively uncommon complication of Fontan and other complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) procedures. Because of the complexity and rarity of this disease process, the
Chemical pleurodesis consists of the fusion of both pleural layers after contact with certain substances, and is used in the treatment of prolonged or recurrent pleural effusions refractory to other therapeutic approaches. This procedure has been extensively used in adults with malignant pleural
