The quadricuspid truncal valve: Surgical management and outcomes

ObjectiveTo determine the outcomes of patients with a quadricuspid truncal valve (TV) and durability of TV repair.MethodWe reviewed 56 patients with truncus arteriosus and a quadricuspid TV who underwent complete repair between 1979 and 2018.ResultsTV insufficiency was present in 39 patients (mild, n = 22; moderate, n = 14; and severe, n = 3). Fourteen patients had concomitant TV surgery. Early mortality in patients who had concomitant TV surgery was 14% (2 out of 14 patients) and overall survival was 77.1% ± 11.7% at 15 years. Freedom from TV reoperation was 30.3% ± 14.6% at 15 years. Early mortality in patients who did not undergo concomitant TV surgery was 9.5% (4 out of 42 patients) and overall survival was 74.9% ± 6.9% at 15 years. Progression of TV insufficiency requiring TV surgery occurred in 16.7% (7 out of 42 patients). Freedom from TV reoperation was 77.1% ± 7.8% at 15 years. The most common method of repair was tricuspidization of the TV. Freedom from TV reoperation was 64.3% ± 21.0% at 10 years after tricuspidization and 0% at 6 years after other types of TV surgery. Overall follow-up was 97.6% (41 out of 42 patients) complete for survivors with median follow-up of 16.6 years. At last follow-up there was no TV insufficiency in 16 patients, mild insufficiency in 24 patients, and moderate insufficiency in 1 patient.ConclusionsMore than one-third of patients with a quadricuspid TV require TV surgery. Tricuspidization of the quadricuspid TV appears to be a durable repair option with good long-term outcomes.
