Cambridge Books Online © Cambridge University Press, 2013 Congenitally malformed hearts Systems for describing congenital cardiac malformations have frequently been based upon embryological concepts and theories As useful as these systems have been, they have often had the effect of confusing the clinician, rather than clarifying the basic anatomy of a given lesion As far as the surgeon is concerned, the essence of a particular malformation lies not in its presumed morphogenesis, but in the underlying anatomy An effective system for describing this anatomy must be based upon the morphology as it is observed At the same time, it must be capable of accounting for all congenital cardiac conditions, even those that, as yet, might not have been encountered To be useful clinically, the system must be not only broad and accurate, but also clear and consistent The terminology used, therefore, should be unambiguous It should be as simple as possible The sequential segmental approach provides such a system1, particularly when the emphasis is placed on its surgical applications2 The basis of the system is, in the first instance, to analyse individually the architectural make-up of the atrial chambers, the ventricular mass, and the arterial segment3 Emphasis is thus given to the nature of the junctional arrangements (Figure 6.1) Still further attention is devoted to the interrelationships of the cardiac structures within each of the individual segments This provides the icu lar Arterial trunks l ria rte loa icu iov Atr The first step in analysing any malformed heart is to determine the arrangement of the chambers within the atrial mass When distinction is based on the anatomy of the appendages, which are the most constant components of the atriums, and specifically on the extent of the pectinate muscles relative to the atrial vestibules5, atrial chambers can be of only morphologically right or morphologically left type The morphologically right appendage is broad and triangular (Figure 6.2), whereas the morphologically left appendage is fingerlike, and has a much narrower neck (Figure 6.3) In most instances, it is possible to identify the appendages simply on the basis of their shape (Figure 6.4) Only in circumstances of uncertainty will it prove necessary to inspect the extent of the pectinate muscles (Figures 6.5, 6.6) This feature, of course, is readily visible to the surgeon once the atrial chambers have been opened When judged on the extent of the pectinate muscles, there are only four topological ways in which the appendages can be arranged within the atrial mass (Figure 6.7) Almost always, the atrium ntr tr en ATRIAL ARRANGEMENT possessing the appendage in which the pectinate muscles extend to the crux is right-sided, while the one with a smooth inferoposterior vestibule is left-sided This usual arrangement is often called ‘situs solitus’ Rarely, the appendages can be disposed in mirror-image fashion, so-called ‘situs inversus’ More common than the mirror-imaged topological arrangement, but still relatively rare, is the situation in which the appendages of both chambers in the atrial mass have the same morphology This can occur in two forms, with either morphologically right (Figure 6.8) or morphologically left (Figure 6.9) appendages on both sides These bilaterally symmetrical topological patterns, or isomeric arrangements, have traditionally been named according to the arrangement of the abdominal organs, particularly the spleen This is because they usually exist with a jumbled up abdominal arrangement, an arrangement also termed visceral heterotaxy6 It is far more convenient, as well as more accurate, to designate them in terms of their own intrinsic morphology8, particularly as this can be determined readily by the surgeon in the operating room Isomerism of the right appendages is usually, but not always, found with absence of the spleen It is most often associated with right bronchial isomerism Isomerism of the left appendages is typically found, but again not always, with multiple spleens The Ve Atriums basic framework within which all other associated malformations can

a morphologically right atrial structure, is Downloaded from Cambridge Books Online by IP 113.166.95.77 on Fri Sep 13 04:33:07 WEST 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139028561.007 Cambridge Books

(Figure 6.9) In this situation, the sinus node is a poorly formed structure, without a constant site Usually the node is found in the anterior interatrial groove, close to the atrioventricular junction12 The second advantage of recognising isomeric appendages is that the arrangements are known to be harbingers of complex intracardiac lesions Hearts with isomerism of either type tend to have

cartoon shows the four possible arrangements of the atrial appendages, which cannot always be distinguished on the basis of their shape The best means of distinguishing between them is to establish the extent of the pectinate muscles These muscles extend all the way to the crux in the morphologically right atrial appendage, but are confined around the mouth of the appendage in the morphologically left atrial appendage, leaving a smooth posterior vestibule Using this criterion, all congenitally malformed hearts have appendages fitting within one of the four groups shown in the cartoon inferior caval vein, with continuation of the venous drainage from the abdomen through the azygos system of veins THE ATRIOVENTRICULAR JUNCTIONS Having established the arrangement of the atrial appendages, the next step in sequential analysis is to determine the morphology of the atrioventricular junctions For this, the surgeon needs to know how the atrial chambers are, or are not, connected to the chambers present within the ventricular mass Most often, there are two such chambers, which can be of only right or left morphology The morphological distinction is based on the nature of the apical trabeculations In the morphologically right ventricle, these trabeculations are coarse, in contrast to the fine criss-crossing trabeculations that characterise the morphologically left Downloaded from Cambridge Books Online by IP 113.166.95.77 on Fri Sep 13 04:33:07 WEST 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139028561.007 Cambridge Books Online © Cambridge University Press,

topology patterns of ventricular topology can be described, figuratively speaking, in terms of the way that the palmar surface of the hands can be placed on the septal surface of the morphologically right ventricle The fingers point up the outlet, and the thumb lies in the inlet, giving right-hand and left-hand patterns In the arrangements shown, the atrioventricular connections are concordant, but the ventriculoarterial connections can also be discordant, with the aorta arising from the morphologically right ventricle (see Figure 6.29) important is the morphology of the valves that guard the atrioventricular junctions, because the paired junctions can be guarded by a common atrioventricular valve This shows that junctional and valvar morphology are separate and independent features There are five distinct and discrete ways in which the atrial chambers may be connected to the ventricular mass, the final one having two subtypes, along with an intriguing further variation Most often, the atrial chambers are connected to their morphologically appropriate ventricles This pattern is called concordant atrioventricular connections When each atrium is connected in this way to its own ventricle, there is rarely any difficulty in distinguishing the morphology of the ventricles, even when the ventricles themselves are unusually related one to the other In the second pattern, which represents discordant connections, each atrium is connected with a morphologically inappropriate ventricle Concordant and discordant connections can exist with either the usual or mirror-imaged arrangement of the atrial appendages (Figure 6.12), but not with isomeric appendages When the appendages are isomeric, and each atrium is connected to its own ventricle, then of necessity one junction

cartoon demonstrates the mixed and biventricular Left-hand topology Left-hand topology concordantly connected, but the other junction will be discordantly connected (Figure 6.13) This will occur irrespective of the topological pattern of the atrioventricular connections found when there are isomeric atrial appendages, and each atrium is connected to its own ventricle In each pattern, half of the heart is concordantly connected, and the other half is discordant It is essential in these settings, therefore, to describe both the type of isomerism, and the specific ventricular topology

remaining two types of atrioventricular connection is that the atrial chambers, with one exception, connect to only one ventricle In one of these patterns, both atrial chambers connect to the same ventricle This is a double-inlet atrioventricular connection (Figure 6.14) In the other variant, one of the atrial chambers is connected to a ventricle, but the other atrium has no connection with the ventricular mass This latter arrangement can be divided into two subtypes, depending on whether absence of the connection is right-sided (Figure 6.15) or left-sided (Figure 6.16) An intriguing variation is seen when one of the atrioventricular connections is absent, be it right-sided or left-sided, namely when the atrioventricular valve guarding the solitary connection straddles the septum, being attached in both ventricles The end result is a uniatrial, but biventricular, atrioventricular connection (Figure 6.17) There has been much controversy concerning the description of the hearts in which the atrial chambers connect to only one ventricle It became conventional to describe them in terms of single ventricle, common ventricle, or univentricular hearts It is exceedingly rare, however, to find patients with solitary ventricles Almost always, in patients described as having univentricular hearts, the ventricular mass contains more than one chamber By focusing on the fact that the atrioventricular connection is, in reality, joined to only one ventricle, we are able to achieve a satisfactory solution for this dilemma Thus, the hearts can logically and accurately be described in terms of being functionally univentricular It follows that, in some patients with biventricular atrioventricular connections, imbalance between the ventricles can again produce a functionally univentricular arrangement13 In those with univentricular atrioventricular connections, however, one of the ventricles must be incomplete, while the other Left atrium Right atrium

groove four-chamber orientation, shows the absence of the right atrioventricular connection, with the fibroadipose tissue of the right atrioventricular (AV) groove interposing between the right atrial floor and the base of the ventricular mass This arrangement produces another form of univentricular atrioventricular connection In this case, the morphology is that of classical tricuspid atresia, with the left atrium connected to a dominant left ventricle Note the presence of the base of the incomplete right ventricle (arrow), which has no connection with the atrial chambers Left atrium Right

atrioventricular connection (red dotted line), giving the third variant of univentricular atrioventricular connection In this example, the right atrium is connected to a dominant left ventricle through a right-sided atrioventricular valve Inf ventricle is dominant The dominant ventricle, which supports the atrioventricular junction or junctions, can take one of three morphologies: right, left, or indeterminate (Figure 6.18) Most frequently, as judged from the pattern of its apical trabecular component, the dominant ventricle will be morphologically left There will be a complementary right ventricle, perforce incomplete because it will lack its atrioventricular connection, and hence its inlet component Such incomplete right ventricles are always found anterosuperiorly relative to the dominant left ventricle, irrespective of whether there is a double inlet, or an absent right or absent left atrioventricular connection They can, however, be Downloaded from Cambridge Books Online

Fig 10.7 The cartoon, drawn in anatomical Morph left ventricle uppermost Morph right ventricle uppermost Usual side-by-side ventricles Aorta orientation, shows the tilting along the long axis of the ventricular mass in a heart with congenitally corrected transposition, which usually has side-by-side ventricles (central panel) The tilting produces a superoinferior relationship of the ventricles, almost always in association with twisting of the atrioventricular connections (see Figures 10.4 to 10.6) Depending on the direction of tilting, either the morphologically (Morph.) left ventricle (left-hand panel) or the morphologically right ventricle (right-hand panel) can be positioned uppermost Most usually it is the right ventricle that assumes the superior location As shown in Figure 10.6, superoinferior ventricular relationships can also be found when the atrioventricular connections are concordant Sup Pulm trunk Left Right Inf Tricuspid valve Fig 10.8 In the heart shown in Figure 10.6, the right ventricle Morphologically right ventricle ventricular mass is as anticipated for the atrioventricular connections Thus, when there is rotation of the ventricular mass sufficient to produce crossing of the atrioventricular connections, this does not disturb the intrinsic relationships of the two ventricles7 In exceedingly rare with a double outlet showed right-hand topology despite the twisted atrioventricular connections In this image, the morphologically right ventricle exhibits left-hand topology (black arrows), again with a double outlet from the ventricle The atrioventricular valve, however, is morphologically tricuspid, and connects the right ventricle to the usually positioned right atrium Despite the left-hand topology, the atrioventricular connections in this heart are concordant This is a very rare example of segmental disharmony5 Pulm., pulmonary circumstances, however, the ventricles can not only occupy unusual positions, but the topology is not as expected for the existing atrioventricular connections Hence, when the usual atrial arrangement coexists with concordant atrioventricular connections, the ventricular topology is usually right- handed (Figure 10.6) On occasion, nonetheless, the right atrium can be joined to a morphologically right ventricle that shows left-hand ventricular topology, with the right ventricle being additionally leftsided (Figure 10.8) This situation is one of the rare occasions when it is necessary to Downloaded from Cambridge Books Online by IP 113.166.95.77 on Fri Sep 13 05:22:01 WEST 2013

Morphologically right atrial appendage describe ventricular topology in addition to accounting for the atrioventricular connections5 HEARTS WITH ISOMERIC ATRIAL APPENDAGES The problems occurring in hearts with isomeric atrial appendages have been mentioned already Hearts with this arrangement are not only found in unusual positions, but are almost always associated with an abnormal arrangement of the thoracoabdominal organs; hence the popular rubric of visceral heterotaxy Many will continue to classify these patients in terms of ‘asplenia’ and ‘polysplenia’8 It is of greater value for the surgeon to base any system of categorisation on the morphology of the atrial appendages Splenic morphology does not always correspond to the atrial anatomy, itself based on the extent of the pectinate muscles relative to the atrial vestibules There is a greater correspondence between the anatomy of the appendages as thus determined and what is expected of the ‘splenic syndromes’ than between these syndromes and splenic morphology9,10 More important, it is of little consequence to the cardiac surgeon at the time of operation whether his or her Fig 10.9 This operative view, taken through a median sternotomy, shows the different morphology of the morphologically right as opposed to the morphologically left atrial appendages in a patient with the usual atrial arrangement patient has one spleen, multiple spleens, or no spleen at all Determining the morphology of the appendages brings attention directly to the heart, enabling the surgeon working in the operating room to make the diagnosis of isomerism immediately, even if this had not been predicted by the preoperative studies The surgeon can readily distinguish the appendages as being either morphologically right or left (Figure 10.9) The surgeon should always confirm whether the patient possesses lateralised atrial appendages The finding of isomeric left (Figure 10.10) or right (Figure 10.11) appendages should immediately alert the surgeon to potential problems over and above those anticipated in the patient with the usual or a mirror-imaged atrial arrangement It is now also possible to distinguish directly the presence of isomeric atrial appendages using computed tomography (Figures 10.12–10.15), while use of other three-dimensional techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging will readily reveal the arrangement of the bronchial tree and the abdominal organs There should be no problem, therefore, in distinguishing those patients having isomeric right as opposed to isomeric left appendages In hearts from patients with isomeric right appendages (Figures 10.16– 10.18), it is the rule to find complex intracardiac anomalies, usually with the absence of the spleen The pulmonary veins will be connected in a totally anomalous fashion even when they are joined to the heart (Figure 10.19) Most frequently, there are major anomalies of systemic venous drainage A common atrioventricular valve is usually present (Figures 10.16 – 10.18), often with a double-inlet ventricle (Figure 10.19) Pulmonary stenosis or atresia is frequently found, and there are bilateral sinus nodes11–13 Increasing operative experience now shows that even the most complex combinations can be treated surgically Although isomerism of the morphologically right appendages is almost always accompanied by severe intracardiac malformations, this is not necessarily the case when there are isomeric left appendages (Figures 10.20–10.22) Thus, the surgeon is more likely to be confronted with an undiagnosed case in the setting of left isomerism Therefore, it becomes important to know that the sinus node is in an anomalous position It is usually hypoplastic If it can be found, it will be located close to the atrioventricular

connections in hearts with orientation, shows the disposition of the axis of atrioventricular conduction tissue in hearts with isomerism of the atrial appendages, biventricular atrioventricular connections, and a common atrioventricular valve The arrangement varies depending on whether there is right-hand ventricular topology (lefthand panel), when there is only a posterior connection of the ventricular conduction tissues, or left-hand topology (right-hand panel), when the ventricular conduction tissues are connected by both posterior and anterior atrioventricular nodes, producing a sling of conduction tissue along the crest of the muscular ventricular septum 10 11 12 13 14 Downloaded from Cambridge Books Online by IP 113.166.95.77 on Fri Sep 13 05:22:03 WEST 2013
