Abstract

Morbidity and mortality of total cavopulmonary connection (modified Fontan procedure) may be decreased in many patients with single ventricle in whom the risk of surgery is high by performing the operations in a staged fashion. Each operative intervention, however, exposes the sinoatrial node region to risk of injury, and a multistaged approach may increase the risk of altered sinoatrial node function in these patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of perioperative arrhythmias in patients undergoing either a primary or staged approach to the Fontan operation. Records were retrospectively reviewed for all patients having a Fontan procedure between January 1988 and December 1992. Of 324 patients undergoing a Fontan operation, 227 had a Fontan operation without a prior cavopulmonary shunt (group 1) and 97 had a cavopulmonary shunt before a Fontan operation (group 2). Arrhythmias were classified as altered sinoatrial node function, supraventricular tachycardia, or atrioventricular block. The prevalence of both transient (resolving before hospital discharge) and fixed (persisting until hospital discharge) altered sinoatrial node function was similar for the two groups after cavopulmonary shunt or primary F...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
