Q

Total Anomalous (TAPVC / TAPVR)=

A

Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs back to the RA or a vein flowing into the RA and NOT to the left side of heart.
–In other words, blood simply circles to and from the lungs and never gets out to the body. (2 separate circulations)

Q

with a infracardiac TAPVR, how does it drain and what does this cause

A

  • Severe CHF (obstructive)
  • Associated w/asplenia
  • Death in a few days

Q

describe obstructed TAVPR

A
  • the pulmonary veins run into the abdomen, passing through the diaphragm.
  • This squeezes the veins and narrows them, causing the blood to back up into the lungs (RA, RV pressures increase).
  • Causes symptoms early - deadly if not recognized and surgically corrected

35
Partial Anomalous (PAPVC / PAPVR)=
-oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins back to the RA ans LA. -In other words, the pulmonary return blood is divided between the LA and RA in the return to the heart.
36
what is a PAPVR associated with
ASD (sinus venosis or secundum)
37
with a PAPVR, how many of the PV's drain into the RA
One or more of the 4 PV’s drain to the RA
38
what has been used with some success to decompress the venous circuit and improve cardiac output in cases of a restrictive inter-atrial communication.
Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS)
39
Since an ASD is imperative to survival – it is better if it is restrictive or non-restrictive
non-restrictive
40
what is the goal of surgical treatment
The goal of surgical repair is to recreate an unobstructed venous inflow to the left side chambers and repair of the associated anomalies, such as closure of atrial septal defect (ASD).
41
when is surgical repair performed emergently
in the newborn period for newborns with TAPVR and obstructed pulmonary veins. Some of these children will actually require ECMO prior to surgery because of their marked hemodynamic instability
42
what is one of the true pediatric emergencies
Obstructive TAPVR
43
_____ is normally corrected without complications.
PAPVC
44
_____ still carries significant morbidity and mortality in low volume centers, (due to the severe hemodynamic and metabolic compromise).
TAPVC
45
____% of patients undergoing repair of TAPVC require multiple interventions due to recurrent ____ after initial successful correction, (with an ______ poor outcome at each representation).
10-15% stenosis increasingly
46
when do Children with TAPVR without obstruction to | the pulmonary veins typically undergo surgical repair electively
days or weeks after the diagnosis is made. --although the surgery is not emergent, there is generally little benefit to be gained by waiting more than one or two months.
47
In TAPVR surgical repair, the pulmonary veins frequently return to a common confluence behind the?
LA - -resulting in a normal connection of PV->LA - -All other abnormal routes for pulmonary venous drainage are tied off.
48
what cases have the higher surgical mortality or death rate
when surgery is performed emergently in critically ill newborns with obstructed pulmonary venous return. --This is because they are very sick going to surgery.
49
Critically ill newborns who do survive the surgery may require what?
a prolonged period of post-operative intensive care
50
CPB: Arterial + Venous Cannulas
Arterial: aortic Venous: --PAPVR (larger child) Bicaval --TAPVR (newborn) Single Atrial
51
CPB: Temperatures
- Hypothermia: Circulatory arrest will be utilized partially or completely - -DHCA or intermittent depending on exposure and visualization
52
In the past, almost all infants with TAPVC were repaired using _____ and ______. Now it can be performed with ______ and _______ perfusion.
profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest | bicaval cannulation and low flow hypothermic
53
what is the benefit of using circ arrest
allowing a bloodless field with excellent exposure of the pulmonary venous confluence without the need for unnecessary manipulation or clamping of the pulmonary veins
54
what is the benefit of using circ arrest
allowing a bloodless field with excellent exposure of the pulmonary venous confluence without the need for unnecessary manipulation or clamping of the pulmonary veins
55
On occasion, it is helpful to introduce brief periods of _______ during the most critical portions of the operation to optimize surgical exposure with a nearly bloodless field
circulatory arrest
56
Similarly some centers have advocated the use of ____ during resuscitation. In few cases, it has been adopted after the repair to support neonates with residual _____.
ECMO | pulmonary hypertension
57
Case Notes: Pre and Post ____ is a big possibility
ECMO
58
Case Notes: Birth weights tend to be ____
small
59
Case Notes: The pulmonary blood flow undergoes a BIG change and can _____ the body
shock | think Qp/Qs
60
Case Notes: These cases tend to be _____ cases
“CALL IN”
61
Case Notes: Even post septostomy, they can still _____
struggle
62
Case Notes: Pulmonary HTN must ______ in order for complete restoration of normal circulation
decrease
63
Case Notes: Look for small weight children in severe ____
distress
64
Case Notes: Impressive _____ may develop
acidosis
