Left sided obstructive lesions
Increased flow Backward effects Pulmonary venous congestion Increase RV afterload RV hypertrophy and failure Systemic venous congestion Forward effects Decrease peripheral tissue perfusion Decrease coronary perfusion Myocardial ischemia

25
Mixing lesions Defects with mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood Partial desaturation lead to compensatory in red cell mass and increase 2,3 DPG with increase in blood viscosity.
26
Left sided obstructive lesions
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) Tricuspid atresia with transposed great arteries Double-inlet left ventricle IAA DORV (some variations)
27
Left sided obstructive lesions
Complete mixing of systemic and pulmonary venous return Ventricular outflow directed primarily to the PA Systemic blood flow (Qs) Largely by right-to-left ductal shunting Dependent on the relative PVR and SVR Systemic outflow obstruction is poorly tolerated Usually accompanied by signs or symptoms of shock
28
Left sided obstructive lesions
Maintain preload at maximum Maintain afterload at maximum Maintain contractility in neonates at maximum Maintain below maximum contractility in older patients Relative bradycardia is preferred not in neonates Quick guide to pediatric cardiopulmonary care, edwards
29
Right sided obstructive lesions
30
Right sided obstructive lesions
Tricuspid atresia Pulmonary atresia with IVS TOF with pulmonary atresia Severe Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve Critical PS DORV (some variations)
31
Right sided obstructive lesions
Complete mixing of systemic and pulmonary venous return Ventricular outflow predominantly directed out the aorta Low pulmonary blood flow (Qp) in single-ventricle patients implies an obligate right-to-left shunt (generally atrial level) Clinical consequences of low Qp are variable
33
Adjust PVR SVR balance to gain optimal oxygen delivery
Mixing lesions Qp/Qs dependent upon PVR SVR balance Hypoxemia and its consequences Adjust PVR SVR balance to gain optimal oxygen delivery
34
Obstructive lesions Qp decreased Hypoxemia RV hypertrophy
RV dysfunction TR Qs decreased Low CO Hypotension Coronary perfusion decreased LV failure Avoid SVR decrease Maintain preload Maintain PDA patency Avoid increase PVR Hyperoxia Hypoventilation Avoid decrease PVR Relative hypoxia Relative hypercarbia
35
Objectives Obstructive lesions right or left Mixing lesions
Shunt lesions left to right or right to left Univentricular physiology Miscellaneous Anomalies of coronary arteries Vascular ring
36
Shunt lesions Shunts may intracardiac or extracardiac
Large shunts are non restrictive with low pressure gradient across Small shunts are restrictive with high pressure gradient across
37
Left to right shunt Factors affecting shunt flow
Ventricular or Great artery level Atrial level Relative compliance Right vs Left ventricle Pressure gradient between chambers or arteries Size of defect Ratio of PVR to SVR Blood viscosity
38
Left to right shunt Pathology of shunt flow
Atrial or ventricular shunts Great artery shunts All shunts ↑RV filling ↑Pulmonary blood flow ↑LA and LV blood flow ↓Diastolic BP ↓Coronary perfusion pressure ↑RVEDV and ↑RVEDP Pulmonary edema ↑LVEDV and ↑LVEDP RV failure ↑PVR Myocardial ischemia LV failure Pulmonary hypertension Shunt reversal Eisenmenger’s syndrome RV hypertrophy Pressure RV > LV
39
Left to right shunt Pathology of shunt flow
Avoid decrease in PVR Enhance the use of vasoconstrictors Avoid increase in pulmonary flow Avoid decrease in systemic flow Avoid extensive diastolic hypotension Avoid increase in total blood volume
