Evaluation of Bidirectional Glenn Shunt
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of the bidirectional Glenn shunt technique performed between 2016 feb and 2017 feb, 14 patients underwent bidirectional Glenn shunt. The patients consisted of 7 males and 7 females with age range of (2 to 10) years. In the 14 patients who underwent a bidirectional shunt operation, 7 patients were done without Cardio Pulmonary Bypass(off pump), 7 with Cardio Pulmonary Bypass. The results have been satisfactory in terms of lower Pulmonary Artery pressure, shorter duration of Ventilatory support, and less thoracic fluid drainage. Off-pump shunt offers more benefits than with Cardio Pulmonary Bypass. However, oxygen saturation had increased to the same degree in both groups at discharge .There was no operative mortality. All the patients were discharged without complications. This shunt technique is easy to perform and is helpful in the early management of patients with a functionally univentricular heart.
