Overview

“

In the evaluation of hemodynamics to assess the potential for definitive palliation of unoperated or shunt-palliated adults with univentricular hearts, catheterization is indicated to:
1. Assess the nature of pulmonary artery obstruction, with potential to restore maximal continuous, effective, unimpeded systemic venous flow to the maximal number of pulmonary artery segments. (Level of Evidence: C)
2. Assess and eliminate systemic-to-pulmonary vein collaterals. (Level of Evidence: C
3. Assess and eliminate systemic-to-pulmonary artery connections. (Level of Evidence: C)
4. For adults with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, the potential for perioperative transcatheter shunt exclusion should be examined. (Level of Evidence: C)
