This retrospective, single-center study looked at surgical outcomes of patients who underwent the Kawashima procedure from March 1990 to November 2020 at Royal Children´s Hospital. A total of 30 patients underwent Kawashima procedure at a median age of 11.7 months (IQR, 4.4-27.4) and a median weight of 8.1 kg (IQR, 5.3-11).

The Kawashima procedure is used for congenital heart disease with a single effective ventricle and an interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC). It was first performed in 1978 and reported in 1984. [1] Technically it is very similar to the bidirectional Glenn procedure used to direct half the body's venous blood flow into the lungs.

2025年2月24日 · Kawashima procedure could be performed with low operative risk on a patient aged less than 9 months. Despite the current early Kawashima and subsequent hepatic vein incorporation strategy, the incidence of pulmonary arterio-venous malformations did not decrease.

Kawashima operation with AnBPF allows distribution of hepatic venous blood and pulsatile blood flow to the pulmonary arteries without any prosthetic tube grafts, minimizes arrhythmogenic atrial incisions, and does not require a future Fontan operation.

2024年7月24日 · Seven patients developed pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) with six proceeding to hepatic vein incorporation (HVI). Interval time to development of PAVMs was 42.3 months (16-121). Four of the 12 patients were left with antegrade pulmonary blood flow (PBF) and three (75%) remain without PAVMs.

Background: The long-term outcomes of patients treated with a Kawashima procedure and keeping the antegrade pulmonary blood flow (AnPBF) in single-ventricle (SV) and interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) heart disease is still uncertain as yet. Methods: We investigated 18 patients who underwent the Kawashima procedure with SV

2021年1月1日 · We advocate early performance of hepatic vein-to-azygos vein connection following the Kawashima operation for heterotaxy with functionally univentricular heart and interrupted inferior vena cava.

The Kawashima operation is an established surgical procedure to deal with bilateral SVCs. The procedure is safe; outcome is favourable and prepares the patient for total cavo-pulmonary shunt. Publication types

2021年3月29日 · In 1984, Kawashima reported his initial experience in patients with functional single ventricle (SV) and interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) treated by bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) [1]. Interruption of the IVC with azygous or hemiazygous continuation above the diaphragm can present with many …
