Tricuspid atresia: Experience in surgical management with a modified cavopulmonary anastomosis

Abstract: A limited experience with an initial series of nine patients operated upon for tricuspid atresia using a modified superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery anastomosis is presented. The modified technique is described and illustrated. It avoids permanent disruption of pulmonary artery continuity and the high incidence of superior vena cava syndrome. In short, the right pulmonary artery is not severed, the azygos vein is always ligated, the superior vena cava is not mass ligated and is subjected to delayed i… Show more

“…An initial palliative procedure is often needed during early infancy to control the flow of blood to the lung, and to preserve eligibility for subsequent interventions. The bidirectional Glenn procedure and several modifications of the Fontan procedure have evolved as the standards of care for intermediate and long-term palliation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Many patients have benefited from advances and refinements in these interventions.…”

“…Após a descrição original da cirurgia de Glenn, sua aplicação clínica, de maneira a anastomosar a veia cava superior terminolateralmente à artéria pulmonar, foi feita por Azzolina et al, 7 em 1972. Na avaliação préoperatória do shunt cavopulmonar estagiado, é fun damental a documentação de pressões intravasculares pulmonares < 15 mmHg.…”

“…Azzolina et al 6 performed that operation for the first time, which became known as the bidirectional Glenn operation. The major advantage of this technique was that the right pulmonary artery, not separated from the confluence, allowed the division of the blood volume of the superior vena cava between both lungs.…”
