AbstractBackgroundBodily isomerism, also referred to as heterotaxy, involves predominantly the thoracic organs, although other organs are usually abnormally positioned. Previously assessed on the basis of splenic anatomy, it is now understood that isomerism is better segregated on the basis of atrial appendage morphology. This allows for anticipation of associated findings. We aimed to assess the accuracy of segregation based on the morphology of the atrial appendages and other structures more easily identified by echocardiography.MethodsWe reviewed postmortem specimens of hearts from the archives at four institutions categorised as obtained from patients with “heterotaxy”. The cardiac structures were analysed using sequential segmental analysis. Non-cardiac structures were also examined if available. Statistical analyses were performed to compare differences in the settings of right as opposed to left isomerism.ResultsSpecimens were available from 188 patients. Of these, 57 had left isomerism, and 131 had right isomerism. Atrial appendages were isomeric in all patients. A coronary sinus was found only in left isomerism, whereas a terminal crest, or a Eustachian valve, was found only in right isomerism. Interruption of the inferior caval vein was associated with left isomerism, whereas totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection was associated with right isomerism.ConclusionIsomerism is uniformly segregated on the basis of the morphology of the atrial appendages, itself defined by the extent of the pectinate muscles. Other features such as the presence of a coronary sinus and systemic venous return can further help with such segregation of isomerism.

Systemic Venous Return

A 75-year-old woman presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation requiring surgical repair. She had extremely rare anomalies in systemic venous return in spite of situs solitus: persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava, infrahepatic inferior vena cava interruption, and hemiazygos continuation to a persistent left superior vena cava. These unusual systemic venous anomalies had significantly enlarged the coronary sinus, and the stretched coronary sinus orifice changed the geometry of the tricuspid annulus and triggered tricuspid regurgitation. There were technical difficulties in establishing cardiopulmonary bypass and achieving successful tricuspid valve repair.

Systemic Venous Return

During mechanical ventilation, phasic changes in systemic venous return modulate right ventricular output but may also affect left ventricular function by direct ventricular interaction. In 13 anesthetized, closed-chest, normal dogs, we measured inferior vena cava flow and left and right ventricular dimensions and output during mechanical ventilation, during an inspiratory hold, and (during apnea) vena caval constriction and abdominal compression. During a single ventilation cycle preceded by apnea, positive pressure inspiration decreased caval flow and right ventricular dimension; the transseptal pressure gradient increased, the septum shifted rightward, reflecting an increased left ventricular volume (the anteroposterior diameter did not change); and stroke volume increased. The opposite occurred during expiration. Similarly, the maneuvers that decreased venous return shifted the septum rightward, and left ventricular volume and stroke volume increased. Increased venous return had opposite effects. Changes in left ventricular function caused by changes in venous return alone were similar to those during mechanical ventilation except for minor quantitative differences. We conclude that phasic changes in systemic venous return during mechanical ventilation modulate left ventricular function by direct ventricular interaction.
