Ventriculotomy (cardiac) Explanation: A ventriculotomy is a heart surgery that involves an incision into one or both ventricles. It is a component of many heart surgeries, including infarctectomy and many congenital heart defect surgeries. In the long-term, a prior ventriculotomy can increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Right ventriculotomy often causes right bundle branch block if it is extensive. Modern congenital surgery techniques have reduced the long-term effects of ventriculotomy and its repair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventriculotomy_(cardiac)#:~:te... This looks promising. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-11-23 19:04:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Abstract Background: The optimal management of tetralogy of Fallot is still under debate, particularly with respect to surgical approach and the age of operation. -------------------- Residual narrowing could either be due to a restrictive pulmonary valve or hypoplasia of the right ventricular outflow tract. If the pulmonary valve was stenotic but the infundibular obstruction had been successfully relieved, we incised the annulus without ventriculotomy or by limiting the ventriculotomy to 3–5 mm, just enough to place a patch to effectively enlarge the annulus. In cases where the outflow tract was still obstructed (due to hypoplasia rather than hypertrophy of the outflow tract), we felt that a right ventriculotomy was necessary and should be extended at least a few millimetres beyond the length of the infundibular septum. https://academic.oup.com/ejcts/article/17/6/631/385490 Arrhythmias are the second most common cause of complications after ventricular failure in adult congenital heart disease patients. They are responsible for approximately 20% of deaths, which generally occur in the form of sudden death [5]. They result from anatomical anomalies or the sequelae of surgery (ventriculotomy, atriotomy, patches). They are also associated with ventricular failure and corrections performed at a late age. https://www.pac5.ch/en/node/241/take -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 5 hrs (2020-11-24 22:41:49 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- My pleasure!
