Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | 8, (3), 2017, p. 404-407 | Pages: | 404-407 | Journal: | World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery | Abstract: | We describe a neonate with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction manifesting soon after birth, who required extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Multiple attempts at separation from ECLS resulted in high left atrial pressures and hemorrhagic pulmonary edema. The inability to separate from ECLS after ten days prompted an unconventional treatment strategy. We performed a modified Norwood operation for LV rehabilitation on day 10 of ECLS. This was followed by successful separation from ECLS. Left ventricular function recovered, and the child underwent conversion to a biventricular circulation on 128 days post-Norwood.L6163138422017-05-25 | DOI: | 10.1177/2150135116635145 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L616313842&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2150135116635145 | | Keywords: | biopsy;case report;diastolic dysfunction;echocardiography;heart left atrium pressure;human;human tissue;lung edema;prostaglandin;male;mitral valve regurgitation;priority journal;thorax radiography;levosimendannitric oxide;lung wedge pressure;Apgar score;article;artificial ventilation | Type: | Article |
