Summary

This is a novel preliminary study of biomarkers of pathologic pre-operative pulmonary vascular development, elevated pre-operative Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Index (PVRi), and complications associated with decreased post-operative pulmonary blood flow in single ventricle patients undergoing superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis (SCPA). The study will utilize a combined targeted and untargeted approach to both optimize translation of a promising existing biomarker and efficiently identify novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in this population.

Detailed description

Overall Hypothesis: Endothelin-1 (ET1) and associated dysregulation of key metabolic pathways decrease pre-operative pulmonary blood vessel development and increase post-operative pulmonary blood vessel resistance leading to decreased pulmonary blood flow in patients undergoing SCPA. For enrolled patients, collected data will include: * 3 mL blood sample (x2) at pre-SCPA catheterization. * 3 mL blood samples at 2, 24, and 48 hours post-operative. * Urine sample pre-operatively and post-operatively * Collection of otherwise-discarded operative tissue sample from the pulmonary artery. * Collection of clinical data, demographic data, and results of routine, post-operative hemodynamic monitoring.
