In the acute setting, this leads to pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure in the neonate. (medscape.com)
Dogs with moderate to severe stenosis may experience syncope or changes leading to congestive heart failure and are at risk for sudden death. (vin.com)
Because PVR is high at birth and does not reach its nadir until age 6-8 weeks, the development of significant left-to-right shunting and pulmonary overcirculation, often termed congestive heart failure (CHF), can be delayed until the second or third month of life. (medscape.com)
Main pulmon2
Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) creates a narrowing, or stenosing, of the main pulmonary artery that decreases blood flow to the branch pulmonary arteries and reduces PBF and pulmonary artery pressure. (medscape.com)
Aortopulmonary window is an abnormal connection between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery, which causes a large left-to-right shunt. (msdmanuals.com)
Vascular resistance6
Aortopulmonary window produces a large and usually unrestricted left-to-right shunt that worsens as pulmonary vascular resistance falls during the newborn period. (medscape.com)
Aortopulmonary window is characterized by a large left-to-right shunt that becomes progressively worse as pulmonary vascular resistance falls during the newborn period. (medscape.com)
Congenital heart defects with left-to-right shunting and unrestricted pulmonary blood flow (PBF) due to a drop in pulmonary vascular resistance result in pulmonary overcirculation. (medscape.com)
The amount of left-to-right shunting leading to pulmonary overcirculation is dependent on both the size of the defect and the pulmonary vascular resistance. (msdmanuals.com)
In patients with an isolated aortopulmonary window, examination findings depend on the size of the defect and the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). (msdmanuals.com)
Independent of the type of ventricular septal defect (VSD), the hemodynamic significance of the VSD is determined by 2 factors: the size of the defect and the resistance to flow out of the right ventricle, including the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and anatomic right ventricular outflow obstruction. (medscape.com)
Outflow tract causing obs1
Pulmonic Stenosis Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract causing obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery during systole. (merckmanuals.com)
Hypertension7
Patients who present after infancy have a high prevalence of pulmonary vascular hypertension and a rapid progression to Eisenmenger syndrome within the first years of life. (medscape.com)
The primary objective of performing PAB is to reduce excessive pulmonary blood flow and protect the pulmonary vasculature from hypertrophy and irreversible (fixed) pulmonary hypertension. (medscape.com)
Within the first year of life, this unrestricted flow and pressure can lead to medial hypertrophy of the pulmonary arterioles and fixed pulmonary hypertension. (medscape.com)
Some degree of pulmonary hypertension is almost always present. (msdmanuals.com)
Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension is increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation. (msdmanuals.com)
In pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vessels may become constricted. (msdmanuals.com)
This technique was widely used in the past as an initial surgical intervention for infants born with cardiac defects characterized by left-to-right shunting and pulmonary overcirculation. (medscape.com)

Stenosis4
[ 1 ] In this report, Muller and Danimann described palliation by the "creation of pulmonary stenosis" in a 5-month-old infant who had a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary overcirculation. (medscape.com)
Infrequently, classic tricuspid atresia involves a large VSD and mild pulmonic stenosis, resulting in pulmonary overcirculation. (merckmanuals.com)
Additional congenital heart lesions (eg, muscular right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary venous obstruction, persistent elevation of PVR, mitral stenosis) can restrict shunting, possibly leading to right-to-left trans-VSD flow, depending on the ultimate resistance balance between the systemic and the total right-sided resistances. (medscape.com)
In this case, the patient belonged to the type of ventricular septal defect characterized by subaortic ventricular septal defect without pulmonary stenosis. (springeropen.com)
Systemic1
The presentation depends on the size of the lesion and the systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances. (medscape.com)
Artery pressure1
As a result of severe cough, pulmonary artery pressure increased rapidly. (springeropen.com)
Right ventricular1
Rupture of the intraventricular septum (the muscle separating the left and right ventricles) causes a ventricular septal defect with shunting of blood through the defect from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, which can lead to right ventricular failure as well as pulmonary overcirculation. (wikipedia.org)
Aortopulmonary2
Aortopulmonary window represents a failure of the conotruncus to differentiate into the aorta and pulmonary artery. (medscape.com)
Safe placement of a pulmonary artery band: (A) encircling the aortopulmonary trunk, (B) encircling the aorta, and (C) completing the pulmonary artery band at the final location. (medscape.com)
Ventricular4
However, these cells are directly involved in the weakening of the tissue, leading to complications such as a ventricular free wall rupture, intraventricular septum rupture, or a papillary muscle rupture. (wikipedia.org)
Collagen is not as strong or compliant as the myocardium that it replaced, this instability could lead to a ventricular aneurysm, and the stasis of blood in an aneurysm can lead to a mural thrombus. (wikipedia.org)
The weakness may also lead to ventricular aneurysm, a localized dilation or ballooning of the heart chamber. (wikipedia.org)
Large left-to-right shunts cause excess pulmonary blood flow and left ventricular volume overload and also lead to lower lung compliance and higher airway resistance. (msdmanuals.com)
Aortic2
It is separate from truncus arteriosus in that it is associated with essentially normal aortic and pulmonary valves. (medscape.com)
The size of the direct aortic to pulmonary artery connection varies and may extend from just above the coronary sinuses to the proximal right pulmonary artery. (msdmanuals.com)
Rupture2
Rupture of the papillary muscle may also lead to acute mitral regurgitation and subsequent pulmonary edema and possibly even cardiogenic shock. (wikipedia.org)
A left anterior descending coronary artery obstruction would be expected to lead to an anterior septal rupture, while a posterior rupture may occur with a distal circumflex or right posterior descending coronary artery obstruction, depending on dominance. (ctsnet.org)
Aorta arises1
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) Transposition of the great arteries (in this case, dextro-transposition) occurs when the aorta arises directly from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. (merckmanuals.com)
Eisenmenger2
These patients are particularly susceptible to Eisenmenger syndrome at an early age because of combined systolic and diastolic run-off into the pulmonary circulation. (medscape.com)
If the defect is unrepaired, the high pressure and large left-to-right shunt results in pulmonary vascular disease and Eisenmenger syndrome eventually develops. (msdmanuals.com)
Severe1
Another mechanism is an anti-inflammatory effect that the N-terminal lectin-like domain of rhTM exhibits, which is to sequester and cleave HMGB1, which is released from necrotic cells and modulates several signals that induce a proinflammatory response leading to severe cell damage [13].
