tetralogy of fallot/アルブミン

The pulmonary blood distribution was examined in 17 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) pre and postoperatively with macroaggregates of 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin. Most of the patients with TOF demonstrated an abnormal preoperative distribution pattern. The abnormalities included not only

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of pulmonary regurgitation inequality on differential perfusion of the lungs in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after repair. BACKGROUND Asymmetry of lung perfusion is one of the best predictors of outcome in TOF after repair. A recent

Congenital heart diseases, such as tetralogy of fallot (TOF), are the most common human birth defects that may cause pulmonary diseases. Lung perfusion scintigraphy (LPS) has an important role in evaluating pulmonary involvement in patients with these defects, both as part of the diagnostic work-up

Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve has been classified to a few groups. The most severe one is characterized by symptomatic onset immediately after birth. The others are no or slightly symptomatic at least during their neonatal period. In a severely symptomatic 12-day-old neonate of

BACKGROUND Pulse pressure variation derived from the varied pulse contour method is based on heart-lung interaction during mechanical ventilation. It has been shown that pulse pressure variation is predictive of fluid responsiveness in children undergoing surgical repair of ventricular septal

A 22-year-old woman presented with acute left-sided pleuritic chest pain and dyspnea 6 days after surgery for revision of the stenotic central aortopulmonary shunt. She had a history of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), pulmonary valve stenosis, ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral

22 children got lung scans 3 weeks respectively 12 months after the correction of a tetralogy of Fallot. In 18 cases previous operations were done: 12 times a Blalock-Taussig shunt and 6 times a Brock procedure. For the scan 20-70 mu diameter albumin macrospheres were used, which were labeled with

We sought to examine the role of preoperative and 2nd postoperative day albumin levels as predictors for postoperative course in infants undergoing repair of congenital heart disease. This retrospective, single-center, observational study comprised consecutive infants younger than 1 year who had

The perfusion scanning of lungs in 26 patients with Fallot's tetrad has shown disease to be accompanied in most cases by the disturbed distribution of the pulmonary blood flow. The authors have shown that its manifestations are either a unilateral deficiency of perfusion throughout one of the lungs

OBJECTIVE To determine circulating atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) concentrations in the postoperative state and to define potential hemodynamic determinants of regional plasma ANF concentrations. METHODS Cohort study. METHODS Pediatric ICU in a university hospital. METHODS Twenty-two children, mean

Pulmonary artery stenosis is a well-known condition after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot. Endovascular stenting of the stenosis is a new technique for correction without surgical intervention. Objective evaluation of the procedure, however, is often hampered by moderate or severe

The immunologic profile of patients with congenital heart disease complicated by protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is undefined. The aim of this study was to assess the lymphocyte subpopulation and immunglobulin (Ig) pattern in patients with PLE complicating congenital heart disease. The immunologic

Purpose: The native T₁ value at 3T MRI is a sensitive marker for diffuse fibrosis or damage in various organs including the heart, liver, and pancreas. Despite the fact that Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) is a crucial

BackgroundIn children with congenital heart disease (CHD), altered pulmonary circulation compromises gas exchange. Moreover, pulmonary dysfunction is a complication of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). No data are available on the effect of different CHDs on lung injury. The aim of

Three cases of myocardial visualization on a routine perfusion lung scintigram with 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin were reported in patients with congenital heart diseases; two cases of tetralogy of Fallot and one case of truncus arteriosus type IV. Large right-to-left shunts greater than 39% and
