One and a half ventricular repair is a viable surgical option for complex congenital heart defects where one ventricle supports systemic circulation. This approach is suitable for specific conditions like tricuspid atresia and pulmonary atresia with hypoplastic right ventricles.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Surgery
  • Cardiac Physiology

Background:

  • Defines "one and a half ventricular repair" for single ventricle physiology with one inadequate ventricle.
  • Highlights that the inadequate ventricle typically manages pulmonary circulation.
  • Notes that suitable hearts often feature one dominant ventricle and a rudimentary one.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applicability of one and a half ventricular repair in specific congenital heart conditions.
  • To identify patient populations that may benefit from this surgical strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Focused review on hearts where the left ventricle supports systemic circulation.
  • Analysis of specific conditions including tricuspid atresia, double-inlet left ventricle, and pulmonary atresia.

Main Results:

  • Identified suitability for one and a half ventricular repair in certain cases of tricuspid atresia and double-inlet left ventricle.
  • Noted feasibility in some straddling or overriding tricuspid valve cases.
  • Highlighted candidacy for patients with hypoplastic right ventricles and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.

Conclusions:

  • One and a half ventricular repair is a potential surgical option for various congenital heart lesions.
  • This strategy offers an alternative for complex cases not amenable to standard biventricular repair.
