A modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or cavopulmonary shunt is required to provide pulmonary blood flow following the Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis. The Damus procedure requires cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping. The pulmonary artery is divided proximal to the bifurcation of its left and right branches.

The Damus-Kaye-Stansel Procedure is one of several surgical operations used in Double Inlet Left Ventricle congenital heart disease cases where complications have arisen, obstructing the flow of blood through the aorta to the body.

Mar 15, 2016 · The Damus–Kaye–Stansel (DKS) operation is a palliative procedure for patients with a single functioning ventricle with an obstructed rudimentary outflow chamber. It is not used for treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome which is treated using the Norwood procedure.

The Damus–Kaye–Stansel (DKS) procedure is a cardiovascular surgical procedure used as part of the repair of some congenital heart defects. [1] This procedure joins the pulmonary artery and the aorta in situations where the systemic circulation is obstructed.

Dec 7, 2020 · Excessive pulmonary blood flow in double inlet left ventricle may be corrected by the insertion of a band around the trunk of the pulmonary artery (shown in yellow on the diagram at right). This narrows the pulmonary artery, which reduces blood flow.

The Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure is a method for mitigating the risk of systemic ventricular outflow tract obstruction (SVOTO). However, there have been few reports on which surgical technique shows a better outcome.

Feb 13, 2018 · The Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis was originally described for the treatment of transposition of the great arteries but it is now used mainly for the treatment of single ventricle anomalies in patients who are at risk of developing systemic ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients with known identifiable risk factors for the Fontan procedure and outflow tract obstruction be staged by performing a Damus-Stansel-Kaye procedure and bidirectional Glenn shunt combined with a small central shunt.

The Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation is useful in the man agement of complex congenital heart defects. We re viewed our experience with 23 patients who underwent a Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure.

shunt (pulmonary-systemic flow ratio = 3) through the incompetent aortic valve, mildly elevated systolic right ventricular pressure (55 mm Hg) and transconduit peak systolic gradient (20 mm Hg), and normal pulmonary vascular resistance.
