Cavopulmonary Connection

An anomalous left hepatic venous (LHV) connection is an extremely rare cardiac malformation, and left hepatic venous route abnormalities not associated with other cardiac lesions do not require surgical treatment because they are physiologically benign. However, when venous route abnormalities exist with associated cardiac lesions, the conduct of the cardiac surgical repair must accommodate the abnormal venous anatomy, especially in total cavopulmonary connection patients. Herein, we present a rare case of a 7-year-old Chinese boy about 1 year post bilateral superior vena cava pulmonary anastomosis who presented with severe cyanosis and was referred to our department. However, the patient showed an unexpected gradual decrease in blood oxygen saturation to 60–70% after the extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (ETCPC) operation. Emergency echocardiography and computed tomography confirmed that the LHV entered the right atrium. Subsequently, the patient undergone completion of a staged TCPC with intra-atrial tunnel technique. This illustrative report highlights the essence of improving the preoperative accurate diagnosis to avoid unplanned reoperation in China, especially for the remote rural areas of eastern countries where the level of health care and services is relatively backward. Failure to identify anomalous LHV connection, in this case, will delay effective treatment past the optimal treatment time.

Cavopulmonary Connection

Single Ventricle Heart Defects (SVHD) are present in 2 per 1000 live births in the US. SVHD are characterized by cyanotic mixing between the de-oxygenated blood from the systemic circulation return and the oxygenated blood from the pulmonary arteries. In the current practice, surgical interventions on SVHD patients commonly result in the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) [1]. In this configuration the systemic venous returns (inferior vena cava, IVC, and superior vena cava, SVC) are directly routed to the right and left pulmonary arteries (RPA and LPA), bypassing the right heart. The resulting anatomy has complex and unsteady hemodynamics characterized by flow mixing and flow separation. Pulsation of the inlet venous flow during a cardiac cycle and wall motion may result in complex and unsteady flow patterns in the TCPC. Although vessel wall motion and different degrees of pulsatility have been observed in vivo, non-pulsatile (time-averaged) flow boundary conditions and rigid walls have traditionally been assumed in estimating the TCPC hemodynamic parameters (such as energy loss). Recent studies have shown that these assumptions may result in significant inaccuracies in modeling TCPC hemodynamics [2, 3].

Cavopulmonary Connection

2 per 1000 children in the US are born with functionally single ventricle (SV) heart defects. To restore the separate systemic and pulmonary circulations, a Total Cavopulmonary Connection (TCPC) is carried out through a series of surgical steps, which result in the direct connection of the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC) to the pulmonary arteries without an intervening pulmonary ventricle. One way to complete the TCPC is by placing a synthetic patch in the right atrium, forming an intracardiac lateral tunnel (LT) as the final step. As patients grow, some LT pathways become stenosed. The stenosis can impose extra resistance to flow in addition to the TCPC in the SV circulation. One method of treating LT stenosis is by placement of an intravascular stent.
