Predictors of Bidirectional Glenn Shunt Failure and Fontan Completion Rate in Patients with Single Ventricle
Author(s): Ismail AI, Farouk A,Dähnert I and Kos telka M
Background: The introduction of bidirectional Glenn (BDG) procedure in patients with functional single ventricles improved the clinical outcomes for all candidates undergoing total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). We tried to evaluate the obstacles that prevent patients to achieve TCPC after BDG.
Methods: All patients who underwent BDG at Leipzig Heart Centre from April 2003 to November 2013 were included in this study, except cases preceded by Norwood procedure.
Results: 82 patients were included in this study. 59 patients underwent TCPC (72%), while 12 patients were waiting for TCPC (14.6%). There were two in-hospital deaths (2.4%) after BDG. In two patients (2.4%), completion of TCPC was not possible, while 6 pati... view more»
