Congenital Heart Disease

Most common Congenital Cardiac defects 1. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) : 20% isolated 50% with associated anomalies

Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow

Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow

Other type of Lesions

2. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) : 30% 3. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) : 15% isolated 35-50% with associated anomalies

• PDA • AP Window

4. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) : 8-10% 5 T 5. Transposition iti off Great G t Arteries A t i (TGA) : 8-10% 8 10%

• ASD

6. PDA: 5-10% (higher in prematures).

• VSD • AVSD

7 Coarctation of the Aorta: 5 7. 5-8% 8% 8. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) : 5% 9 Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) : 3-4% 9. 3 4%

Palliative procedures to increase Pulmonary blood flow

Cyanotic Heart defects Venous Blood is reaching the systemic circulation • Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) • Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA) • Tricuspid Atresia (TA) • Truncus Arteriosus • Total Anomalous Pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) • Hypoplastic Left Heart syndrome (HLHS)

Left-to-Right Shunting Lesion: Definition • Communication C i ti b between t left l ft heart h t structure t t and d right i ht heart structure allowing blood flow (shunting) from the left heart to the right g heart • No obstruction to right heart blood flow • 2 well-formed ventricles

Left-to-Right Left to Right Shunt Pathophysiology: Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Neonatal Period : -

High PVR

-

No pressure gradient

-

Minimal shunt

-

Asymptomatic

-

Absent murmur

PVR starts to decrease for following g days y ((2-6 weeks))

Left-to-Right Shunting Lesion: Pathophysiology • Decreasing PVR – Increased shunting g with pulmonary over-circulation and

Left-to-Right Shunting Lesion: Long-term Effects • Chronic Volume Overload – Arrhythmia y a – Systolic / Diastolic Dysfunction

volume load (CHF) – Audible murmur – Tachypnea yp / dyspnea y p

• Pulmonary Vascular Disease • Eisenmenger Eisenmenger’s s Syndrome

– Failure to thrive

Left-to-Right g Shunting g Lesion: Timing of Surgical Repair • Technical feasibility • Size • Co-morbidity C bidit

Symptomatic state: Shunt volume Potential for spontaneous closure Potential for irreversible pulmonary vascular disease Potential for or presence of related pathophysiology • Endocarditis risk • Prolapse aortic leaflet with VSD

Calculation of Shunt Volume: Fi k P Fick Principle i i l Shunt Volume = Pulmonary Blood flow (Qp) Systemic Blood flow (Qs)

Qp = VO2 PV sat - PA sat

Qs =

VO2 Ao sat - MVO2

Calculation of Shunt Volume: Fick Principle p Qp =

Qs =

I di ti Indications ffor Surgery: S Qp/Qs Q /Q

VO2 PV sat - PA sat VO2 Ao sat -MVO2

Qp/Qs = Ao sat - MVO2

• 1.5 - 2 :1

P l Pulmonary V Vascular l Di Disease • Compensatory response to increased pulmonary blood flow • Progressive process: medial hypertrophy and intimal hyperplasia: initially reversible •

Eventually irreversible

• Rate of progression variable • Lesion • Genetic factors

Irreversible Pulmonary Vascular Disease

• Complete AVCD
