Abstract

The extent of liver involvement should be routinely investigated in ACHD patients with PA-IVS regardless of the type of surgical correction (univentricular vs 1.5 ventricle vs biventricular). Systemic Venous Hypertension and Low Output Are Prevalent at Catheterization in Adults with Pulmonary Atresia and Intact Ventricular Septum Regardless of Repair StrategySeminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryVol. 34Issue 4PreviewPatients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) require intervention early in life, and most survive to a definitive procedure of either Fontan circulation or right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) repair. It remains unknown how surgical strategy impacts hemodynamics and comorbidities in adults. Retrospective analysis of adults (age ≥18 years) with PA-IVS undergoing hemodynamic catheterization at Mayo Clinic, MN between January 2000 through January 2020 was performed. Full-Text PDF
