AIMS: To assess outcomes of anatomical repair (double switch procedure) in infants and children with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between September 1993 and August 1996, 17 patients with congenitally corrected transposition underwent surgery at UCSF. Anatomical repair was performed in 11 of these patients, at ages ranging from 4.8 months to 7.8 years (median 3.2 years). The remaining six patients did not undergo anatomical repair due to unfavourable anatomy (n = 2), prior conduit repair (n = 2), biventricular dysfunction (n = 1), and isolated complete atrioventricular block (n = 1). The 11 patients who underwent anatomical repair make up the study group for the present report. All 11 patients had a malalignment ventricular septal defect, while pulmonary outflow tract obstruction was present in nine patients and significant tricuspid valve pathology or dysfunction was present in five. Anatomical repair was achieved with a Senning (n = 7) or a Mustard (n = 4) procedure combined with an arterial switch operation plus ventricular septal defect closure (n = 4), or a Rastelli procedure with left ventricle to aortic baffle and right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit (n = 7). There was one early death and no patients developed surgical complete atrioventricular block. At a median follow-up of 22 months, there were no late deaths. Two patients required a total of three late reoperations, and all patients were asymptomatic on no cardiac medication. Follow-up echocardiography revealed normal biventricular function in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Anatomical repair of corrected transposition can be achieved with low rates of early mortality and surgical heart block, and favourable mid-term results. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to determine if the double switch approach improves the natural history of corrected transposition when compared to less aggressive surgical approaches that leave the right ventricle in the systemic circulation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In most cases of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, a Lecompte procedure (réparation à l'étage ventriculaire) is possible without interposition of a conduit between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. However, the anterior location of the pulmonary arteries after the Lecompte maneuver may be a potential cause for right ventricular outflow obstruction, which continues to be reported in 5% to 25% of cases. We have used a tubular segment of aortic autograft to connect the pulmonary artery, left in the orthotopic posterior position (without the Lecompte maneuver), to the right ventricle in 10 consecutive patients with transposition, ventricular septal defect, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. METHODS: Ten consecutive patients aged 2 months to 11 years (mean 32 months) have undergone a modified Lecompte operation. Eight had severe pulmonary stenosis, two had pulmonary atresia, and four had a restrictive ventricular septal defect at the time of the operation. Two had multiple ventricular septal defects. Seven had undergone one (n = 5) or two (n = 2) previous modified Blalock-Taussig shunts. All patients underwent a total correction with left ventricular-aortic intraventricular connection (four needed a ventricular septal defect enlargement), connection between the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries with a tubular segment of autograft aorta, without the Lecompte maneuver (anterior location of the bifurcation of the pulmonary arteries) on the right (n = 6) or the left (n = 4) of the aorta. No valvular device was used for the right ventricular outflow repair. RESULTS: No early or late deaths occurred. One patient with multiple ventricular septal defects needed an early (2 weeks) reoperation for a residual muscular ventricular septal defect. All patients are currently in New York Heart. Association class I, without medications, in sinus rhythm, at a mean follow-up of 30 months. Late results up to 3.6 years show no calcification on the chest roentgenogram, and at the most recent echocardiogram, right ventricular pressures were low (25 to 40 mm Hg, mean 33 mm Hg) and no significant gradient (over 10 mm Hg) was found between the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries. Left and right ventricular function was satisfactory. CONCLUSION: This modification of the Lecompte operation using a segment of autograft allows an excellent early and late result, with no danger of compression of anteriorly placed pulmonary arteries, no significant right ventricular outflow obstruction, and normal appearance of the tubular autograft. In view of laboratory and clinical evidence, normal growth of the autograft can be anticipated. It allows an elective correction of transposition, ventricular septal defect, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction without a previous Blalock-Taussig shunt (three patients) and correction at a young age (three patients younger than 1 year). 相似文献

Valved homograft conduits play an important role in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction for the surgical treatment of complex congenital heart disease. An excellent immediate rather than long-term outcome could be obtained. The hemodynamics for late failure, however, remained unclear. In vitro pulsatile flow visualization was not conducted before. A simplified right heart duplicator system was set up and driven under physiologic conditions. Polystyrene of 0.18 mm in diameter was applied as the tracing particle. Flow characteristics of models of normal pulmonary circulation as well as pulmonary artery atresia with the RVOT reconstructed utilizing valved and non-valved extracardiac conduits were observed. Flow patterns in the normal pulmonary circulatory model were mainly of axial flow associated with small scope of flow disturbances. A single vortex in the right ventricle was noted in diastole. In the pulmonary artery atresia model, a couple of vortexes were found in the right ventricle, a secondary flow in the main pulmonary artery, and a stronger secondary flow than in the normal pulmonary circulatory model in the two branches in both systole and diastole. A secondary flow was found in the proximal, an axial flow was observed in the distal portion of the extracardiac conduit with normal bioprosthetic valves and a secondary flow was observed in the entire conduit with stenotic bioprosthetic valves. The secondary flow intensity became stronger with the development of the stenosis. Severe insufficiency occurred in the bileaflet ceramic tilting-disc prosthesis during the entire cardiac circle, i.e., the prosthesis was in a maximum open position. Severe reverse flow could be found in the extracardiac conduit in the deceleration phase. Concavity of the crank shaft was found by examination to be filled with tracing particles and the prosthesis became stuck. Model of RVOT reconstruction with non-valved conduit yielded reverse flow inside the extracardiac conduit as well. Secondary flow may occur in normal or diseased extracardiac conduit for RVOT reconstruction. If micro-thrombus of over 0.18 mm in diameter attached in the concave of the crank shaft of a bileaflet tilting-disc prosthesis under a condition of resistance as occurred in the present study, the prosthesis may become stuck. Model of RVOT reconstruction with non-valved extracardiac conduit yielded reverse flow inside the conduit, of which the flow pattern was of greater energy consumption. Thus, a non-valved conduit should be avoided in clinical practice as far as possible. 相似文献

To assess the long-term results of left ventricular outflow tract reconstruction utilizing an apical left ventricular to aortic valved (porcine) conduit the clinical and hemodynamic data were reviewed from 24 patients who had placement of an apico-aortic conduit. Eighteen of the patients are asymptomatic and taking no cardiac medications. Three patients were reoperated on, one patient 1.5 years after his original operation for subacute bacterial endocarditis and two patients 3 to 4 years after their original operation for severe conduit valve insufficiency. None of the patients is taking anticoagulants and no thromboembolic events have occurred. Postoperative catheterization has been performed 1 to 1.5 years (mean 1.2) after repair in 15 of 21 patients. The rest left ventricular outflow tract gradient has decreased from 102.5 +/- 20 mm Hg preoperatively to 14.8 +/- 9.9 mm Hg postoperatively (probability [p] less than 0.001). Some degree of conduit obstruction was demonstrated by catheter passage in 11 of the 15 patients. In these 11 patients, the obstruction occurred at three distant sites: at the egress of the left ventricle in 9, at the porcine valve in 5 and at the aortic to conduit junction in 1. Isometric exercise in five and supine bicycle exercise in six patients increased the left ventricular outflow tract gradient by 2.5 +/- 1.1 and 20.8 +/- 11.8 mm Hg, respectively, despite an increase in cardiac index of 1 +/- 0.3 and 3.7 +/- 0.4 liters/min per m2, respectively. The data suggest that a left ventricular to aortic conduit is an effective form of therapy for severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and Fontan repair are now commonly performed in patients with a variety of forms of complex single ventricle, including those with anomalies of systemic, pulmonary, or systemic and pulmonary venous return. These anomalies are ideally dealt with during bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, thereby minimizing the complexity of the eventual Fontan procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between March 1990 and March 1997, 32 patients with functional single ventricle and anomalous pulmonary venous return underwent operation at our institution. Five of 25 patients who underwent neonatal palliation died in the early postoperative period, all of whom had obstructed anomalous pulmonary venous return. Twenty-one patients have undergone bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, including 7 in whom this was the primary palliative procedure. There was one early and two late deaths after the bidirectional Glenn procedure, two in patients with asplenia syndrome and none in patients with previously obstructed pulmonary venous return. Seven patients have undergone Fontan completion, 5 with an extracardiac conduit. There was one early death and one take-down to a classic Glenn shunt, both in patients who did not undergo the extracardiac conduit Fontan operation. CONCLUSIONS: Anomalous pulmonary venous return can significantly complicate the management of the single-ventricle patient, with the major impact on survival coming in the neonatal period. Palliation with the aim of performing an extracardiac conduit Fontan procedure allows greater latitude and more streamlined management in this group of patients. 相似文献

A Rastelli-type operation was successfully performed on two patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease with pulmonary artesia (PA) and severe stenosis or obstruction of the pulmonary bifurcation, following the improvement of a pulmonary artery index (PA index) after palliative systemic pulmonary shunts. It is a point that stenotic or obstructive pulmonary bifurcation was reconstructed by a patch technique. An extracardiac conduit was used a combination of a bicuspid valved pericardial roll and a prosthetic vessel graft. In a 5-year-old male with an extreme type of tetralogy of Fallot associated with PA and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the enlargement of stenotic pulmonary bifurcation was attempted using a brimshaped equine pericardial patch in order to get sufficient suture margin and be safely anastomosed with a conduit. In a 6-year-old female with complete transposition of the great arteries, PA, PDA and right aortic arch (RAA), an obstructive pulmonary bifurcation behind the RAA was enlarged using a brimshaped equine pericardial patch. The attachment of the conduit was shifted to the left pulmonary artery to avoid compression of an extracardiac conduit and pulmonary artery behind RAA. Reconstruction of the pulmonary bifurcation using an equine pericardial patch is useful to anastomose an extracardiac conduit and the stenotic or obstructive pulmonary bifurcation. 相似文献

To evaluate the growth of a pulmonary trunk reconstructed without an extracardiac conduit, the hemodynamics and diameter of a new pulmonary trunk were measured in 5 patients from the right ventriculogram and MRI at postoperative follow-up periods. There were tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia in two patients, tetralogy of Fallot with single coronary in one, truncus arteriosus type I in one and transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis in one. The age at operation ranged from 26 days to 4.5 years. The posterior wall continuity of the right ventricle and pulmonary artery was established by the direct pulmonary-right ventricular anastomosis in three patients and by the interposition of the left atrial appendage in two. Postoperative follow-up periods ranged from 2 years and 6 months to 3 years and 10 months (median: 2 years and 11 months). In four of them, the postoperative right ventricular to aortic or left ventricular systolic pressure ratios were less than 0.4 without any significant systolic pressure gradients between pulmonary artery and right ventricle. In these four patients, the diameters of the reconstructed pulmonary trunks grew from 10-18 mm to 18-21 mm postoperatively. These diameters were more than 100% of normal values. In the remaining patient with tetralogy of Fallot and single coronary artery, the obstruction of the new pulmonary trunk by a bulged left atrial appendage, which was used as the posterior wall, was observed on the right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction without an extracardiac conduit has growth potential in the future. 相似文献

A case undergoing conduit procedure for tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia was complicated postoperatively by bacteremia due to non-fermentative Gram-negative rods and by disseminated intravascular coagulation. He was able to be cured without any sequela. The patient was a 16-year-old male, who had undergone Blalock-Taussig anastomosis in his infancy. The present operation was carried out as follows: ventricular septal defect was closed with a Teflon-patch and discontinuity between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery was corrected using a Hancock's valved conduit. Two weeks after the operation, pleural effusion in the right chest cavity was shown by a chest X-ray film. On the 32nd postoperative day, high fever with chills occurred, and subsequently developed pulmonary edema, shock and hemorrhagic tendencies with petechia. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Flavobacterium and Alcaligenes faecalis were detected by the culture of pleural effusion. The platelet count decreased to about 10,000/microliters. Carbenicillin, tobramycin and minocycline were administered for the infection, and heparin and aprotinin were used for disseminated intravascular coagulation. By these treatments for about 6 months, the patient became well and was discharged without any sequela. 相似文献

Since June 1987, 10 of 19 consecutive patients with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance (average age 4 +/- 2 years) had undergone a double switch operation with the morphologically left ventricle used as a systemic ventricle. There were two combinations of procedures. Atrial switch combined with arterial switch was used in two patients who had a normal pulmonary valve. Atrial switch combined with ventriculoarterial switch by Rastelli's procedure was used in eight patients with pulmonary stenosis or atresia and a large ventricular septal defect. One early death and two late deaths have occurred in a postoperative follow-up period of up to 4 years. Subsequent problems were mainly related to the results of atrial switch procedures in patients who had a small atrium because of low pulmonary flow, especially in patients with apicocaval juxtaposition. Our experience suggested that the double switch operation would open a new era of definitive surgical treatment in half of the patients with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. 相似文献

The results of repair of double outlet right ventricle in 26 children are reported. Eighteen of these patients had subaortic ventricular septal defect (VSD), without pulmonary stenosis (PS) in 5 and with PS in 13. Another 8 patients had subpulmonic VSD, without PS in 6 and with PS in 2. All had concordant atrioventricular relationships. There were six early deaths and two late deaths of the 26 patients in our study. Of these, 5 patients had severe associated cardiac abnormalities, and 2 who died early had had an incision in the systemic (right) ventricle. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A modified technique for tricuspid valve repair in Ebstein's anomaly restructures the valve mechanism at the level of the true tricuspid anulus by using the most mobile leaflet for valve closure without plication of the atrialized chamber. Midterm results of this therapeutic approach for patients with Ebstein's anomaly and tricuspid valve incompetence are reported. METHODS: Between October 1988 and April 1997, the incompetent tricuspid valve was repaired with our technique in 19 patients (12 female, 7 male; 2 to 54 years, mean 21 years). The indication for operation was congestive heart failure of various degrees in all patients. Tricuspid incompetence was grade II in two patients, grade III in 14, and grade IV in three. Associated congenital malformations were simultaneously repaired (interatrial communication in 18, ventricular septal defect in two, pulmonary stenosis in two, mitral valve prolapse in one). Follow-up ranged between 10 and 103 months (median 28 months) and was complete for all patients. RESULTS: There were no operative deaths. One patient with active endocarditis and pulmonary abscess died 2 months after the operation of recurrent sepsis; there were no late deaths. During follow-up, New York Heart Association functional class improved from 2.8 before the operation to 1.9 without recurrent cyanosis, and tricuspid incompetence decreased from a mean grade of 3.1 to one of 0.9, without any echocardiographic deterioration of the tricuspid valve function or right ventricular dilation. CONCLUSIONS: Our technique allows tricuspid valve repair in patients with Ebstein's anomaly, even in cases usually reserved for primary valve replacement, without late functional deterioration. 相似文献

Between 1989 and 1991, 17 children underwent 18 right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit placement operations using a composite of an aortic or pulmonary valved homograft and a Hemashield extension to the ventricle. Hemashield is a collagen-coated knitted Dacron graft with excellent compliance and hemostatic properties. Diagnoses included tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia (7), truncus arteriosus (6), and complex transposition of the great arteries (4). Mean age at conduit placement was 4.9 +/- 4.2 years, and all patients survived. At a mean follow-up of 14 +/- 4 months, postoperative Doppler echocardiographic gradients between the ventricle and pulmonary artery ranged from less than 20 to 60 mm Hg. At cardiac catheterization 13 +/- 3 months postoperatively (6 patients), the systolic pressure gradient across the conduits ranged from 14 to 90 mm Hg (mean gradient, 59 +/- 29 mm Hg). Conduit obstruction, when present, was demonstrated angiographically to be in the Hemashield portion and led to early conduit replacement six times in 5 patients (33% of operations) within 10 to 18 months (mean time, 14 months) after insertion of the original conduit. Pathologic examination of the explanted conduits revealed the obstruction to be a thick neointimal peel that was impossible to separate from the Hemashield graft. Failure of the Hemashield as an extension for ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduits secondary to accelerated neointimal formation has led us to abandon its use in clinical practice. 相似文献

Fifty-nine children with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum underwent various forms of surgical treatment at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, during 1950 to mid 1975. Twenty-three patients had pulmonary valvotomy, 15 direct, 2 indirect, and 6 both direct valvotomy and infundibulectomy. All died, 19 early and 4 late. Of 13 patients who received a systemic-pulmonary artery shunt, 4 combined with surgical atrial septectomy, there are only 2 long-term survivors both of whom were children who had had a Waterston anastomosis. Recently we have been treating infants with small right ventricles with balloon atrial septostomy at cardiac catherterization followed by a Potts anastomosis and pulmonary valvotomy. If the Potts anastomosis appears satisfactory the persistent ductus arteriosus is ligated. This scheme was used in 23 infants, with 4 early deaths and 2 late deaths. Of 17 survivors, further shunts were required in 4 children. One child has had a formal repair, with insertion of valves in both tricuspid and pulmonary areas. We believe that this operative combination of Potts anastomosis and pulmonary valvotomy offers the infant with pulmonary atresia and a small right ventricle a relatively low initial mortality and the possibility of right ventricular enlargement and subsequent repair. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The ideal substitute for the treatment of ventricle-pulmonary artery discontinuity remains a topic of controversy, because of calcifications and degeneration of biologic substitutes leading to subsequent reoperations. Because polyurethane valves used in ventricular assist devices show a satisfactory biocompatibility, the aim of this study was to evaluate a valved conduit composed of a Dacron graft incorporating a trileaflet 25 mm polyurethane valve. METHODS: The conduit was implanted between the right ventricle and the main pulmonary artery in adult sheep, with ligation of the proximal pulmonary artery. The animals received no medications. Serial hemodynamic data were collected at the time of implantation and at postoperative intervals of 6 and 12 months. RESULTS: The peak pressure gradient across the valve increased significantly between implantation (0.17 +/- 5.6 mm Hg) and 6 months after operation (7.3 +/- 3 mm Hg, p = 0.0007) and remained stable thereafter (6.7 +/- 3 mm Hg at 12 months), whereas the cardiac output remained unchanged (4.6 +/- 0.6 L/min at implantation, 4 +/- 0.6 L/min at 6 months, and 3.9 +/- 1.1 L/min at 12 months). At the completion of the study, valve samples were processed and vapor coated with carbon for microscopic examination. There was one instance of nonadherent thrombus formation inside a cusp but no structural failures. The other valves were free of calcium deposits and no significant amounts of phosphorus could be detected by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate the good hemodynamic performance, low thrombogenicity, and acceptable durability of the polyurethane valves implanted in the right side of the heart in a chronic sheep model. 相似文献

Left-sided juxtaposition of the right atrial appendage (LJRAA) was seen in 10 patients in a series of 361 consecutive Mustard procedures for transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Dextrocardia complicated LJRAA in four cases. Right atrial capacity and free atrial wall size were smaller than normal in all patients, and a Mustard intra-atrial baffle repair was performed in all instances. Direct caval cannulation or cannulation of either atrial appendage facilitated intra-atrial repair. Nine patients in whom the pulmonary venous atrium was enlarged with a patch survived. One child who did not have a right atrial patch died 1 hour postoperatively of pulmonary edema. Two late deaths occurred 1 year postoperatively. Seven children survived and are well. In one child, superior vena caval baffle obstruction is controlled by digoxin and diuretic therapy. TGA associated with juxtaposition of the atrial appendages (JAA) and dextrocardia may be successfully repaired by the Mustard procedure, provided that the tricuspid valve and right ventricle are normal, an adequate superior vena caval channel is created, and patch enlargement of the pulmonary venous atrium is undertaken. 相似文献

The first clinical use of homograft tissue in cardiovascular surgery was in 1948, when Gross used cadaveric arterial grafts to construct systemic to pulmonary artery shunts in patients with tetralogy of Fallot, and to repair coarctation of the aorta. Eighteen years later, a valved homograft was used for the first time in the treatment of congenital heart disease for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in a child with pulmonary atresia. Since these pioneering advances, valve and vascular homografts have become central to the management of congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels. The primary use for homografts in congenital heart surgery today is establishment of a valved connection between the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries in children with tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia or other complicating factors, truncus arteriosus, transposition complexes, and double-outlet right ventricle, and in patients undergoing the Ross procedure. Homograft reconstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract has also been performed for many years in children with aortic insufficiency or recurrent aortic stenosis, but early homograft degeneration in young children has been a significant problem. Many surgeons are turning away from homografts in the systemic circulation in favor of the pulmonary autograft. Homograft is also widely used as a vascular patch material. In the present report, we discuss the various uses of homografts in congenital heart surgery, the benefits and drawbacks of homografts in young patients, and some of the future possibilities for homograft development and application in patients with congenital heart disease. 相似文献

A systematic study of congenital mitral valve malformations was undertaken on a surgical basis in an attempt to develop techniques of valvular reconstruction adapted to the various lesions. Forty-seven children between the ages of 4 months and 12 years (average 6 years, 4 months) have been operated upon between January, 1970, and March, 1976. Valvular lesions were classified into four group: Group I, mitral insufficiency owing to valvular lesions: Group II mitral insufficiency with subvalvular lesions; Group III, mitral insufficiency and stenosis; Group IV, stenosis. Associated lesions (ventricular or atrial septal defects, coarctation, or aortic valve stenosis) were present in 31 patients (65 per cent) and were corrected during the same operation. Valve reconsruction was possible in 38 patients whereas valve replacement was necessary in 9 patients. In the valve repair group there were three operative deaths (8 per cent), no late deaths, one reoperation for residual ventricular septal defect, and one myocardial infarction. In the valve replacement group of 9 patients, there were three operative deaths, three late deaths, and one case of repeated embolization. Thirty-one of 38 patients in the valve repair group were classified into Functional Class I after the operation (86 per cent), 2 were in Class II, and one in Class III. Minimal or moderate regurgitation and cardiomegaly persisted in the majority of the patients. Pulmonary artery pressure significantly decreased, however, as demonstrated by postoperative catheterization in 17 patients. 相似文献

The Fontan procedure is often associated with elevated right-sided pressures and low cardiac output during the early postoperative period. A dog model was established to test the effect of pulmonary artery counterpulsation after atriopulmonary anastomosis. After exclusion of the right ventricle by a purse-string suture at the right AV orifice, placed during inflow occlusion, a valved conduit was inserted between the right atrial appendage and the pulmonary artery. This created a circulatory pattern comparable to a Fontan procedure. Counterpulsation was achieved by inserting a cannula into the conduit distal to the valve in eight dogs; alternatively, in four, counterpulsation could be achieved through a 10 mm side-arm graft connected to the conduit distal to the valve. Twenty-four observations were made. Without counterpulsation the circulatory status of the dog deteriorated rapidly. Counterpulsation resulted in a mean increase in cardiac output of 48% (p less than 0.0001). Right atrial pressure fell significantly with a mean drop of 4 mm Hg (p less than 0.003). This allowed for a further increase in right-sided filling pressure by transfusion, with a subsequent further increase in cardiac output. Left atrial pressure did not change significantly unless altered by transfusion. Counterpulsation instituted through the 10 mm side-arm graft gave similar results. Pulmonary vascular resistance decreased with counterpulsation (mean decrease 35%; p less than 0.002). The use of a side-arm graft connected to the conduit after a Fontan procedure affords a clinical method of circulatory support without the need for additional surgical intervention for decannulation. These data suggest that mechanical assistance of the failing right atrium after atriopulmonary anastomosis is both feasible and effective. 相似文献

During an 8-year period (1984 to 1991) 66 patients (mean age 59 years, range 26 to 84 years) with type A aortic dissection (60 ascending aorta tears, 6 arch tears; 35 acute, 31 chronic) had surgical repair by a continuous suture-graft inclusion technique. Hypothermic circulatory arrest (16 degrees C) was used in 58 patients (35/35 acute, 23/31 chronic; mean arrest time 26 minutes, range 10 to 55 minutes). Fifty-two patients had hemiarch repair and 6 had total arch replacement. Aortic valve disease necessitated treatment in 38 patients (1 valved conduit, 20 valve replacements, 17 valve repairs). Recently 11 patients had valve repair by reconstruction of the native aortic root, by means of techniques similar to those used for homograft valve insertion. Operative mortality was 9% (14% acute, 3% chronic). Stroke occurred in 2 patients (3%) and was fatal in both. Variables suggestive of increased operative risk by univariate analysis were acuteness (p = 0.12), visceral ischemia (p = 0.12), and preoperative shock (p = 0.13). No variable was significant by multivariate analysis. Overall actuarial survival at 48 months was 77%, with 3 late deaths from a ruptured distal aneurysm. Late computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scan was done in 28 patients at a mean interval of 33 months. These studies identified 1 patient with a pseudoaneurysm requiring reoperation and 3 patients with contained flow between the graft and the wrap. Three patients required late operation: 1 for pseudoaneurysm, 1 for arch dissection, and 1 for repair of a distal aneurysm. 相似文献

We report a neonatal case of one-stage repair for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA with IVS) and coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The surgery was performed at 27 days of age when the patient, a male, weighed 3408 g. Preoperative cardiac catheterization and angiography confirmed the diagnosis of TGA with IVS, CoA, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, persistent left superior vena cava, left sided juxta-positioning of appendages and dextrocardia. The procedure was simultaneous subclavian flap aortoplasty through a left thoracotomy and an arterial switch operation through a median sternotomy. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and he has grown well. Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed mild pulmonary stenosis (pressure gradient of 19 mmHg between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) and mild aortic arch kinking from the arterial switch maneuver. One-stage repair, the combination of subclavian flap aortoplasty and arterial switch operation, provides a good clinical result in this complex malformation. 相似文献
