Description
Mohammadreza Edraki and co-authors study, in twenty twenty-four, extra arteries that grow in children with a heart defect called tetralogy of Fallot. In that defect, blood flow to the lungs is too low. The body may grow major collateral arteries from the aorta to the lungs to compensate. Those vessels can interfere with surgical repair. The team reviewed cases from twenty eleven to twenty twenty at two hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. They catalogued the collaterals, their lung supply patterns, and the devices used to close them.
Patients were split into three groups: no collaterals, collaterals closed before surgery, and small collaterals left open. The groups were compared on surgery data, blood transfusion, breathing tube time, intensive care stay, and death rates.
