Interventional management of an unusual cause of cyanosis in repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Project description:Arterial desaturation following surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is rare. In most instances, it results from residual right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, causing right-to-left shunt across residual interatrial or interventricular communication. In this report, we present an unusual scenario of arterial desaturation due to a recanalized left cardinal vein in a child with repaired TOF. We also discuss stepwise evaluation that led to successful identification and occlusion of the abnormal venous channel by percutaneous device closure.

Rargb regulates organ laterality in a zebrafish model of right atrial isomerism.

Project description:Developmental signals determine organ morphology and position during embryogenesis. To discover novel modifiers of liver development, we performed a chemical genetic screen in zebrafish and identified retinoic acid as a positive regulator of hepatogenesis. Knockdown of the four RA receptors revealed that all receptors affect liver formation, however specific receptors exert differential effects. Rargb knockdown results in bilateral livers but does not impact organ size, revealing a unique role for Rargb in conferring left-right positional information. Bilateral populations of hepatoblasts are detectable in rargb morphants, indicating Rargb acts during hepatic specification to position the liver, and primitive endoderm is competent to form liver on both sides. Hearts remain at the midline and gut looping is perturbed in rargb morphants, suggesting Rargb affects lateral plate mesoderm migration. Overexpression of Bmp during somitogenesis similarly results in bilateral livers and midline hearts, and inhibition of Bmp signaling rescues the rargb morphant phenotype, indicating Rargb functions upstream of Bmp to regulate organ sidedness. Loss of rargb causes biliary and organ laterality defects as well as asplenia, paralleling symptoms of the human condition right atrial isomerism. Our findings uncover a novel role for RA in regulating organ laterality and provide an animal model of one form of human heterotaxia.

Right atrial myxoma: Unusual location; uncommon association.

Project description:We are presenting a case of the right atrial myxoma found in a case of rheumatic heart disease. During transthoracic echocardiography for the evaluation of a suspected rheumatic valvular heart disease, a diagnosis of severe mitral stenosis with severe mitral regurgitation with the right atrial thrombus was made. On transesophageal echocardiography, a pedunculated mass in the right atrium was confirmed. In the course of surgery, it was found that there is a tumor originating from the right atrial appendage (RAA) which was confused with clot on echocardiography. Rheumatic heart disease and myxomas have different etiopathogenesis, and this coexistence has not been reported. Further, right atrial myxoma arising out of RAA is also being reported for the first time.

A catheter-based interventional strategy redirects hepatic vein flows after Fontan procedure in left isomerism to treat severe hypoxemia.

Project description:Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after the Kawashima procedure causing severe hypoxemia are treated by Fontan surgery that redirects hepatic venous blood to the pulmonary circulation. Alignment of the hepatic venous conduit toward both pulmonary arteries is crucial for their regression. Persistent hypoxemia due to nonregressed malformations in one lung often warrants a repeat surgery to redirect hepatic venous flows. Catheter-based redirection of Fontan flows is not commonly performed as metallic stents and devices may predispose to thrombus formation in the circuit. This report highlights a patient with persistent arteriovenous malformations in the left lung leading to severe disabling hypoxemia that was managed in the catheterization laboratory with an innovative strategy to redirect Fontan flows toward the affected left lung.

Successful balloon dilatation of an infolded polytetrafluoroethylene graft: An unusual cause of early Fontan failure.

Project description:Despite optimal medical management, an 8-year-old boy had persistent pleural drainage following total cavopulmonary connection. Detailed evaluation, including computed tomography angiography, confirmed obstruction at the lower end of the circuit due to infolding of the polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Balloon dilation of the obstruction resulted in prompt resolution of pleural effusion with sustained relief at 1-year follow-up. The case demonstrates the importance of careful assessment in the diagnosis and successful nonsurgical management of an unusual cause of obstruction in the Fontan circuit.

Percutaneous coronary intervention following Fontan procedure.

Project description:Fontan procedure is known to increase the risk of thromboembolic events. However, coronary artery thrombotic occlusion is rarely reported in patients with Fontan procedure. We present a case of a 10-year-old boy with hypoplastic left heart syndrome palliated with a Fontan procedure who presented with myocardial infarction secondary to thrombotic occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery. He underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention with thrombus aspiration, balloon angioplasty, and stent placement, highlighting the necessity of collaboration between congenital and adult cardiologists to treat acute coronary syndrome among this challenging young population.

Long-Term Outcomes and Predictors of Recurrence in Atrial Arrhythmia Ablations Post-Fontan Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis.

Project description:BackgroundSupraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is common in patients who have undergone a Fontan procedure and is poorly tolerated. SVT recurrence rates after catheter ablations are high. Recent data on the outcomes of SVT ablation and the predictors of recurrence in this population are limited.MethodsElectronic medical records of patients who had undergone a Fontan procedure and SVT ablation between January 1, 1995, and October 1, 2023, at a tertiary care center were reviewed. Demographic, clinical, and outcome variables over 5 years were compared between patients with and without SVT recurrence.ResultsTwenty-five patients (56% male, mean age 31.5 ± 7.2 years) with a mean age of 6.1 ± 3.6 years at Fontan surgery were included. Ablation success rate was 92%. Recurrence occurred in 12 (48%) patients, of whom 7 (28%) required repeat ablations. Thirteen (59%) patients had a cardiac hospitalization, and one patient died in the 5-year follow-up period. Atypical (71%) and typical (33%) right atrial flutter were the most common SVTs. Higher brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels pre- (1,702 vs. 242, P = 0.028) and post-ablation (862 vs. 112, P = 0.017) were associated with recurrence. Atriopulmonary (AP) Fontan type (91% vs. 17%, P = 0.0006), number of radiofrequency (RF) applications (48 vs. 14, P = 0.045), post-ablation cardiovascular (CV) hospitalizations (82% vs. 36% P = 0.030), and post-ablation antiarrhythmic prescriptions (1.8 vs. 1.2, P = 0.0256) were more prevalent in patients with recurrence.ConclusionCatheter ablation of SVT in patients with Fontan physiology is associated with a high success rate and a high long-term recurrence rate. Recurrence of SVT is associated with markers of severe heart disease and type of Fontan.

Congenitally corrected transposition with isolated atrial septal defect and apicocaval juxtaposition: a hitherto undescribed cardiac cause of central cyanosis.

Project description:In our practice, we have been struck by the presence of central hypoxemia in individuals with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) with an atrial septal defect (ASD) as the only association, despite existence of normal pulmonary artery pressures. This right to left shunting at the atrial level occurs only in those patients where there is additional presence of apicocaval juxtaposition (ACJ). Patients with CCTGA but without ACJ manifest only left to right shunting at the level of the ASD. We present a case series of patients with CCTGA with intact ventricular septum and incomplete atrial septum with a possible basis for this phenomenon.
