MY SON MASTER ANKIT SABNANI AGE 8 YEARS MALE IS HAVING
CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
.
ECHO REPORT IS AS FOLLOWS.
=
M-Mode & 2D Examination revealed presence of normal situs with normal veno-atrial connections. Retro aortic innominate view.
Two atrioventricular valves are placed normally between respective atria & ventricles. Ventriculoarterial connections concordant. Small PFO with L_R flow. Large anterior malalignment conoventricular VSD with aortic override. Blind RVOT.
Left ventricle is normal in size, and shows normal contractility. Global LVEF is normal . Both leaflets of mitral valves show normal motion during diastole No Sam or mitral valve prolapse is seen. Mitral valve opening is normal . Aortic valve has three cusps which are not thickened and closure line is central. Aortic valve opening is not restricted. Tricuspid value leaflets shows normal motion. Pulmonary valve is normal. No intracardia mass or thrombus is seen. No pericardial pathology is observed . Right aortic arch. Large collateral arises from descending aorta and supplies both PAS. Confluent PAS. RPA 7mm, LPA 7mm,
DOPPLER:
-----------------
Continuous flows in both PAS
L-R flow across PFO
COLOUR FLOW.
--------------------------
Colour Flow imaging revealed :-
1, Bidirectional flow across VSD.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS.
M mode 2-D and colour Doppler echo cardiography.
of Mast . Ankit Shrichand Sabnani revealed.:-
1. TOF, Pulmonary atresia.
2. Large aortic pulmonary collateral with filling of both PAS
3. Confluent but small pulmonary arteries.
ANGIOGRAPHY REPORT dated 13/069/97

DIAGNOSIS
Normal atrial arangement
Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia

ANGIOGRAM
---------------------
Aortogram- Two large MAPCAS from the descentding aorta filling the native right and left pulmonary artery which are confluent. These MAPCAS do not show any stenosis throghout its course.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS.
------------------------------
Situs solitus. AV concordance. Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia Large nonobstructed MAPCAS. Severe bilateral pulmonary hypertension.
PROCEDURE
-----------------------
Diagnostic Study.
COMPLICATIONS
-----------------------------
Nil.
COMMENTS
---------------------
Selective entry into the right and left pulmonary artery via the MAPCAS revealed systemic pressures.
PLAN
---------
Medical follow up ? MAPCA ligation
KINDLY INFORM IF SURGERY IS RECOMMENDED AT THIS STAGE .
WHETHER SURGERY WILL BE OF ANY HELP TO THE CHILD.
KINDLY RECOMMEND US THE BEST HOSPITAL/ SURGEON IN USA.
SPECIALIZED IN ABOVE FIELD
KINDLY E_MAIL US IF ANY BODY CAN HELP US REGARDING THIS MATTER.
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.
