1. Those in which already oxygenated blood in the left heart passes back into the right heart–left-to-right shunt and. 2. Those which partially bypass the lungs, with venous blood directly entering the systemic circulation–right-to-left shunt Shunt-acyanotic, cyanotic L→R shunt Acyanotic...
portal system- system of veins that carry blood from the abdominal organs to the liver vein,vena,venous blood vessel- a blood vessel that carries blood from the capillaries toward the heart; "all veins except the pulmonary vein carry unaerated blood" ...
ratio were the same as they were while the patients were in the hospital.Our limited experience demonstrates that the Potts shunt lowers suprasystemic pulmonary hypertension to the systemic level, limits manifestations of right-sided heart failure and improves the overall functional status of the ...
The right atrium of the heart is also an acceptable distal site. The rates of shunt infection or malfunction between ventriculoatrial (VA) and VP shunts are similar. Because CSF normally is absorbed into the venous system, the atrium is an ideal physiologic location. However, the atrium is g...
DamianHutter,Andrew N.Redington, inPaediatric Cardiology (Third Edition), 2010 Aortopulmonary Shunts The advent of the Blalock-Taussig shunt revolutionised the management of patients with cyanotic cardiac disease, and those with functionally univentricular heart were no exception. Indeed, long-term surviv...
Additionally, peak exercise PCWP also declined in the shunted patients. Interatrial shunts are designed to reduce left atrial pressure and volume overload, particularly in patients with HFpEF, although they are also being tested in those with HFmrEF or heart failure with reduced EF (HFrEF). In ...

The data indicates that the hexose monophosphate shunt is active in the heart because it can be demonstrated when a substrate, which competes with glucose for oxidation, is present. The presence of competing substrates parallels the situation occuring in vivo. 展开 ...
