The document outlines essential information regarding single ventricle cardiac defects, specifically hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), including its pathophysiology, clinical features, and management strategies. It emphasizes the role of pediatricians in long-term care and surveillance of affected children, highlighting the importance of coordinating care among various specialists. Prognosis and potential complications are discussed, with a focus on the necessity of ongoing follow-up and support for growth and development.
Single ventricle presentation for pediatrician
- 1. What Pediatricians Should Know About Children With Single Ventricle Laxmi Ghimire, MD PGY3, KU Pediatrics
- 2. ObjecEves • To define single ventricle cardiac defect • To idenEfy pathophysiology and clinical features of HLHS in brief • Formulate management of pre and postop care of child with single ventricle • Evaluate long term complicaEons and follow up of HLHS • Describe the role of pediatricians in following children with HLHS
- 3. What is hypoplasEc leO heart?
- 4. HLHS Epidemiology • 1.2-‐1.5% of all congenital heart defects • In US, ≈2000 infants are born/ year with HLHS • Without surgery HLHS is uniformly fatal usually ≤2 weeks of life.
- 5. Pathophysiology of HLHS • Ductal dependent lesions • Important to keep duct open, why? – To provide systemic circulaEon
- 6. Clinical features of HLHS • Around 24-‐48 hours aOer the ductus closes-‐ signs of cardiogenic shock – Cyanosis, – Tachypnea, – Respiratory distress, – Pallor, – Lethargy, – Metabolic acidosis, and – Oliguria. – Poor peripheral perfusion
- 7. Cardiac exam • A prominent right ventricular impulse • A normal S1 • A loud single S2 • Usually no murmur is noted
- 8. Management of HLHS • SupporEve care • MulEstage surgical intervenEon (ie, Norwood, Glenn, and Fontan procedures) and • Cardiac transplantaEon
- 9. Medical preop management • Prenatal diagnosis • HLHS is idenEfied: deliver at an insEtuEon where neonatal cardiac surgery, is performed • Try for term delivery, vaginal delivery well tolerated
- 10. PreoperaEve management 1. Open the ductus arteriosus – HLHS is suspected: start PG E1 infusion immediately to establish ductal patency and ensure adequate systemic perfusion. – Refer
- 11. Pre-‐op • Intubate or not to intubate? • If short distance: do not intubate • OxygenaEon: Avoid high amount of oxygen • Keep sats between 75-‐85%, why?

- 13. Pre-‐op 2. Manipulate pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) Goal: Qp/Qs:0.8-‐1 Factors that increase PVR: -‐Hypoxia -‐Hypercarbia -‐HyperinflaEon -‐High hematocrit
- 14. Pre-‐op 3. Correct metabolic acidosis – Metabolic acidosis indicates inadequate cardiac output – Aim for base deficit of 0
- 15. Surgical management • Norwood(stage I) • BidirecEonal Glenn(stage II) • Fontan (Stage III)
- 16. Norwood Procedure – Done in first weeks of life-‐aOer infant stable – The goals • To establish reliable systemic circulaEon without the DA • To provide enough pulmonary blood and prepare pul vascular bed for stages II and III.
- 18. Norwood Postop • Norwood Clinical pathway
- 19. Norwood postop • Discharge: – PCP: adjust medicaEon dose with weight – Oxygen saturaEon is typically 70-‐80% in room air. – BT shunt: conEnuous murmur – Thrombosis of shunt
- 20. BidirecEonal Glenn procedure (Stage II) • Aprox 4-‐6 months aOer Norwood procedure. • The bidirecEonal Glenn procedure => anastomosis between SVC and RPA, end-‐to-‐side • ComplicaEons: Progressive desaturaEons-‐due to venous collaterals • No murmur: silent. Thrombosis of Glenn
- 21. BidirecEonal Glenn (Stage II)
- 22. Fontan procedure(stage III) • The Fontan procedure :1.5-‐4 yrs aOer Glenn • CompleEon of the Fontan procedure – Blood flow from IVC to the PAs – Systemic venous blood returns to the lungs passively without passing through a ventricle. • Fontan looks simple: hemodynamics unclear

- 25. ComplicaEons of Fontan CirculaEon • Mild to moderate exercise intolerance • Residual cardiomegaly • Ventricular dysfuncEon • Rhythm and conducEon disturbances • Hepatomegaly • LymphaEc dysfuncEon with protein losing enteropathy • Early and late mortality
- 26. LymphaEc DysfuncEon ─ Impedes drainage of thoracic duct. – Leakage in intersEEum => lymph edema/ pulmonary edema, a very lethal complicaEon in the early postoperaEve period. – Chylothorax or chylopericardium – Leakage into the gut leads to protein losing enteropathy (PLE)
- 27. OutpaEent follow up • Periodic follow-‐up visits aOer stage I, II, and III operaEons are mandatory. • SubstanEal (5-‐15%) interstage mortality (between stages I and II) • Careful observaEon, follow-‐up and home surveillance • Interstage mortality between stage II (bidirecEonal Glenn) and stage III (Fontan) is lower that aOer stage I (Norwood)

- 29. Prognosis • Overall survival Norwood is ~75%. • Survival aOer the bidirecEonal Glenn/hemi-‐Fontan and Fontan operaEons is nearly 90-‐95%. • Survival rate post staged reconstrucEon is 70% at 5 years.
- 30. PaEent educaEon • General: HLHS is a complex heart defect that requires mulEple hospitalizaEons, surgeries, catheter intervenEons and long-‐term follow-‐ up. • MedicaEon – Educate parents regarding cardiac medicaEons, interacEons • Feeding – Many require NG or G-‐tube tube feeding – Increased-‐calorie formula is required for adequate growth. • Follow-‐up care – Importance of follow-‐up care.
- 31. Role of Pediatricians • Cardiac care • Neuro-‐behavioral care • GastrointesEnal care • Growth

- 43. Take home messages • Single ventricle distorts the normal physiology • Surgeries are complicated • Pediatrician can do a lot make sure they are growing well and geung appropriate care • AnEcipate the complicaEons of Fontan • Cardiac, Neuro, GI, poor growth are the most common long complicaEons encountered. Coordinate care with other specialEes.
