Demystifying Single Ventricle Physiology
摘要
Purpose of Review
This review provides an overview of the different types of single ventricle congenital heart disease and associated pathophysiology and reviews the medical and surgical approaches to management.
Recent FindingsSingle ventricle congenital heart disease is a complex and varied group of congenital cardiac malformations that require meticulous care and multiple surgeries. Advances in surgical approaches and technology have improved outcomes over time but care of this complex patient populations remains challenging.
SummaryIn this review, we detail the different lesions that make up single ventricle heart disease, the typical surgical pathway, clinical considerations for each stage, and evolving approaches to single ventricle care.
