Total right ventricular exclusion procedure: An operation for isolated congestive right ventricular failure

Abstract: The total right ventricular exclusion procedure provides effective decompression of the lung, as well as the left ventricle, and may result in more effective volume loading of a surgically created single ventricle with increased systemic output. We believe that this new surgical option offers rescue treatment for isolated end-stage right ventricular failure in critically ill patients.

“…12 Briefly, the RV free wall was resected along the atrioventricular groove and then parallel to the IVS, sparing the pulmonary valve and skeltonized right coronary artery. The orifice of the tricuspid valve was closed with either a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch or with its leaflets.…”

“…12 This procedure is composed of the resection of the RV free wall and a cavopulmonary connection or systemic-pulmonary shunt. The objective of the current study was to elucidate the effects of a complete removal of RVVO on the surgically created single LV utilizing 2-dimensional (2D) and Doppler echocardiography.…”

“…Heart transplantation is the best treatment modality with long-term survival. 12,13 In our case series, orthotopic heart transplantation would be the final therapeutic option for our patients. All three patients had biventricular failure and had orthotopic heart transplantation and continued to survive with good quality of life.…”

“…T he total right ventricular (RV) exclusion procedure for isolated congestive RV failure, in which most of the dilated right atrium (RA) and RV wall is resected, was first reported by Sano et al in 2002. 1 This procedure improves the cardiac index 2 and suppresses supraventricular/ventricular tachyarrhythmia.…”

“…1 This procedure improves the cardiac index 2 and suppresses supraventricular/ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Using this procedure with an extracardiac conduit, we successfully treated severe heart failure characterized by a markedly dilated right heart lacking tricuspid leaflets and by recurrent tachyarrhythmia, 17 years after the patient had undergone initial definitive intracardiac repair including RV outflow tract plasty.…”
