Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with early mortality of the rapid two-stage arerial switch operation, which has a significantly higher overall mortality than that of ASO procedure for D-TGA with a intact ventricular septun. Methods The data we reviewed involving patients who underwent rapid two-stage switch operations from September,2002 to September, 2007 in our center, 13 patients were male and 8 were female, their age at operation ranged from 29 to 250 days afer birth, and the body weight was 3.5 to 7 kg. Chi-squared test and multivariant logistic regression methods were used for the analysis of demographic data, pre-diagnosis information, operation data, interval data combined with the operation time,left ventricle training condition, and the early post-operative outcomes. Results The operative mortality was high at initial stage, and then decreased gradually. The logistic multivariant regression analysis indicated that the mortality of left ventricular training operation was associated with the diameters of BT shunt ( P =0.003 ); the mortality of two-stage switch was associated with feminie ( P = 0.006 ) and pre-operative p. LV/RV ( P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusion Patients with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum who missed the optimal time for switch operation should receive rapid two-stage switch operations, which provide an opportunity for the correction of the deformity. The key factor associated with the success for operation was good in heart function after left ventricular training. 相似文献
From January 1983 through December 1991 470 patients underwent an arterial switch operation (ASO). 281 (59.7%) had transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with intact ventricular septum (IVS) and 189 (40.3%) had a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The overall hospital mortality for ASO was 6.3%, but 0.6% (1/155) in the last 155 consecutive patients with TGA/IVS. Of 9 late deaths (1.9%) 5 were due to coronary artery obstruction. 2 were found related to pulmonary vascular obstructive disease and 2 were unrelated to ASO. Cardiac catheterization in 244 late survivors revealed postoperative, supravalvular pulmonary stenosis in 2% of patients. Residual shunts on ventricular levels greater than QP/QS=1.5/1.0 were measured in 4 patients. No regional wall motion abnormalities were detected and left ventricular function appeared normal in all patients 2 years after surgery. One year after surgery 98% of patients presented in sinus rhythm. The favourable early and midterm results of the ASO as a primary operation continue to make it the preferred approach for the neonate with TGA/IVS and TGA/VSD whenever possible. The rapid two-stage approach (preliminary pulmonary artery banding and shunt followed by ASO after 7 days) is applicable for older patients with TGA/IVS. 相似文献
TGA-IVS with late presentation (>21 days) managed with primary ASO despite the LV deconditioning. Unfavorable TGA-IVS with severely deconditioned LV showed similar outcomes compared to favorable TGA-IVS with the recovery of LV mass, excellent survival but higher use of ECMO support. ASO: arterial switch operation, LV: left ventricle, TGA-IVS: transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum
BACKGROUND: Late failure of the systemic right ventricle after atrial baffle procedures in patients with transposition of the great arteries poses significant management problems. We reviewed our experience with staged conversion to arterial switch operation (ASO) in these patients. METHODS: Between 1984 and 1999, 11 patients underwent pulmonary artery band (PAB) to prepare the left ventricle for ASO conversion. One additional patient had subpulmonic stenosis and was naturally prepared. Mean age at the initial PAB was 12.2+/-7 years (range, 1.9 to 23 years). Four patients underwent reoperation to tighten the PAB before ASO. Mean interval from PAB to ASO was 1.3+/-0.9 years. RESULTS: There was no mortality from PAB. Six patients had ASO conversion and 2 died. Recent surgical modifications at the time of ASO were used to prevent neoaortic valve insufficiency and to cryoablate atrial reentry tachycardia. Four patients developed biventricular failure after PAB and had orthotopic cardiac transplantation (OCT) 14+/-10 months after PAB. The other 2 patients are still with PAB: 1 is awaiting ASO conversion and the other has insufficient left ventricular hypertrophy necessary for ASO conversion despite two preparatory PABs. CONCLUSIONS: A select group of patients with right ventricular failure after atrial baffle operations can undergo staged conversion to ASO with the opportunity for excellent long-term outcome. Surgical modifications at the time of ASO can address the problems of neoaortic insufficiency and persistent atrial arrhythmias. PAB may be a therapeutic endpoint in some patients not responding with adequate left ventricular hypertrophy. Those patients who develop biventricular failure after PAB will require cardiac transplantation. 相似文献
Objective: The surgical management of infants older than 2 weeks with d-transposition of great arteries and intact ventricular septum (IVS) is a matter of debate. Some studies have presented good results of primary arterial switch operation (ASO) in these children. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical outcome of the primary ASO in children with d-transposition of great arteries and IVS presenting beyond 6 weeks of age. Methods: The clinical records of the children (more than 6 weeks age) with d-transposition of great arteries and IVS, who underwent primary ASO at our institute between January 2003 and June 2009 were reviewed. Left ventricular geometry and interventricular septal motion on the transthoracic cross-sectional echocardiogram were taken to assess the left ventricle preparedness. Results: Fifty-five children (age ranging from 42 days to 9 years) with d-transposition of great arteries and IVS underwent primary ASO. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 94.7 ± 21.3 min, while mean aortic cross-clamp time was 53.2 ± 8.1 min. Seven (13%) of these children died during their hospital stay. The children who had severely regressed left ventricle (banana-shaped left ventricular geometry) were operated with integrated extra corporeal membrane oxygenation–cardiopulmonary bypass (ECMO–CPB) circuit for left ventricular re-training. The children with regressed left ventricle required longer ventilatory time and inotropic support. Recovery of left ventricular geometry has taken 1–6 months depending on age at surgery. Conclusions: The children older than 6 weeks with d-transposition of great arteries and IVS can benefit from primary ASO with acceptable results. However, the need for mechanical support in some of the older patients may limit the widespread adoption of such a strategy. 相似文献
Objective: Long-term angiographic evaluation of left ventricular performance and size of the great arteries after one-stage neonatal versus two-stage arterial switch operation (ASO) of simple transposition. Methods: Analysis of cineangiographic studies obtained during the process of two-stage ASO for 34 patients and after neonatal repair for 52 patients. Results: At early follow-up after two-stage ASO the left ventricular enddiastolic volume (LVEDV) was +1.8 standard deviations (S.D.) larger than LVEDV of control patients, but normalized completely (0.0 S.D.) at late follow-up. In contrast, after neonatal repair the LVEDV was always normal, and the median EF was significantly higher than after two-stage ASO (73 vs. 68%). The diameters of the native pulmonary annulus and sinus increased significantly after pulmonary artery banding to +4.5 and +4.8 S.D., respectively. After ASO, a significant decrease of the respective sizes occurred from early to late follow-up (annulus: +6.0 to +2.1 S.D.; sinus: +7.1 to +4.1 S.D.). After neonatal ASO the neoaortic annulus and sinus were only +1.5 and +2.7 S.D. larger than the comparable normal structures. The differences to the two-stage group were significant. In both groups, the neoaortic anastomosis had no diameters significantly different from normal. After one- and two-stage repair, the size of the neopulmonary annulus and sinus decreased similarly in both groups from early to late follow-up (annulus +0.9 to −2.4 S.D.; +0.3 to −2.8 S.D.; sinus: −0.7 to −1.6 S.D.; −0.7 to −1.8 S.D.). Conclusions: Neonatal ASO has definite advantages over two-stage repair concerning LV-performance and the degree of dilation of the neoaortic root. The significantly reduced size of the neopulmonary root after both procedures is remarkable, but fortunately mostly without clinical significance. 相似文献
Background Current reports favour primary arterial switch (ASO) in infants with d-transposition of great vessels (d-TGA) with intact
ventricular septum (IVS) who present later than 21 days. The premise is that the regressed left ventricle (LV) will still
adapt to the systemic circulation.
Methods We compared a retrospective group of 11 infants (group A) who had undergone rapid two stage ASO with those (group B) who had
undergone primary ASO (n=15).
Results The age range (25–70 days), weight (2.5–4.0 Kg), posterior wall thickness of LV (2.8 mm–4.2 mm) and other pre-operative criteria
were similar in both groups. In group A, 3/11 infants died after first stage, one each due to shunt blockade, tight pulmonary
artery band, and after emergency Senning operation following cardiac failure. Of the remaining eight who underwent ASO 5–9
days after first stage, three died, one each due to fungal infection, sepsis and multi-organ failure, and massive haemorrhage
from internal mammary artery. Success of LV training was 8/11 (73%) while overall survival was 5/11 (45%). In group B (15
infants), 13 survived (86%), two needing post-operative extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support and two deaths occurred
due to immediate post-operative cardiac failure.
Conclusions This study demonstrates that primary ASO can show benefit in infants of d-TGA with IVS presenting between 21 to 60 days of
age as compared to rapid two stage ASO. These infants might need more support for the ventricular function in form of prolonged
inotropes and ECMO support. 相似文献
BACKGROUND: Optimal management of double-outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect remains controversial. We reviewed our 7-year experience with patients who had this anatomic configuration. METHODS: Between January 1992 and January 1999, 20 patients underwent an arterial switch operation (ASO group), and 12 underwent a bidirectional Glenn procedure followed by a modified Fontan in 10 (Glenn/Fontan). Mean follow-up was 23 +/- 18 months. RESULTS: An initial palliative operation was done in 19 patients (9 in the ASO group, 10 in the Glenn/Fontan group). There were no deaths in the Glenn/Fontan group. Four patients in the ASO group died within 33 days postoperatively. Two of them had a single coronary artery, 1 had a straddling mitral valve, 1 had a hypoplastic aortic arch, and 1 had multiple ventricular septal defects. Three patients had reoperation for subaortic stenosis (n = 2) or pulmonary stenosis (n = 1) after the ASO. Four patients (3 in the ASO group, 1 in the Glenn/Fontan) required a pacemaker for postoperative complete atrioventricular block. Actuarial survival at 5 years for the entire group was 87% (70% confidence interval, 81% to 93%). CONCLUSIONS: The ASO remains our preferred treatment for infants with double-outlet right ventricle and subpulmonary ventricular septal defect. However, associated anatomic defects are important risk factors. 相似文献
OBJECTIVES: Various issues regarding the long-term survivors of arterial switch operation (ASO) have been clarified according to the improvement of surgical mortality. We reviewed the long-term results and social independence level after ASO. METHODS: Two hundred and four (204) patients who had undergone ASO more than 15 years ago were studied retrospectively. ASO was performed as a primary operation (group I, n=99) or as a secondary operation (group II, n=105). Lecompte procedure was performed in 197 patients, modified Aubert procedure in 5, and original Jatene procedure in 2. RESULTS: There were 11 late deaths. Kaplan-Meier survival rate (not including operative deaths) was 94.9% at 10 years and 94.9% at 15 years in group I, and 96.9% at 10 years and 94.4% at 15 years in group II. Forty-eight reoperations were performed (aortic valve replacement in 6, aortic valvoplasty in 2, Konno procedure in 1, double valve replacement in 1, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in 35). The reoperation-free rate including late death was 82.2% at 10 years and 75.7% at 15 years in group I, and 88.2% at 10 years and 78.1% at 15 years in group II. One hundred and seventy-eight patients were classified as NYHA class I and 7 patients as class II. All the patients except those with mental disorder (1) or neurodevelopmental impairment (3) were attending school or working. There was no significant difference in left ventricular function between group I and II, both showing values within the normal range. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term (>15 years) outcome of ASO survivors was satisfactory. Most patients showed excellent cardiac function and were socially independent. 相似文献
