Cardiac magnetic resonance parameters associated with successful conversion from a single ventricular to a one-and-a-half or biventricular circulation in patients with a hypoplastic right ventricle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some patients with pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) or a left ventricle dominant atrioventricular canal defect (LDAVC) with a hypoplastic right ventricle (RV) and univentricular (1 V) circulation may be candidates for conversion to either a complete biventricular (2 V) repair or a one-and-a-half ventricle repair (1.5 V). We sought to identify pre-operative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings associated with successful conversion from 1V to 1.5V or 2V circulation.

Methods

In this single center retrospective study, subjects with PA/IVS or LDAVC and no conotruncal abnormalities were included if they had a 1 V circulation at the time of CMR followed by a surgical intervention intended to convert them to a 1.5 V or 2 V circulati
