Primary vs Staged Biventricular Repair for Neonatal IAA with VSD and LVOTO.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

December 2024

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Duke University Hospital, Durham, North Carolina.

Background: This study sought to determine the safety of primary and staged biventricular repair in neonates with interrupted aortic arch (IAA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO).

Methods: Patients with a fundamental diagnosis of IAA and VSD between 2015 and 2020 were extracted from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database by using a Participant User File. The objective was to compare outcomes for neonates undergoing primary and staged Yasui and Ross operations.

Background: Single-ventricle cardiac defects (SVCDs) are among of the most health care resource-intensive congenital diseases. Although SVCDs are traditionally palliated using the Norwood pathway, in the last 2 decades select programs have used the hybrid strategy, which redistributes the operative and interstage risks. This study sought to characterize resource use for a cohort of patients with hybrid-palliated SVCD.

Rescuing the Right Ventricle: Mechanical Support After Pediatric Heart Transplantation.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

June 2024

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Perfusion Services, The Heart Center, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio.

Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure after heart transplantation (HT) is common in those with pretransplantation elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Mechanical circulatory support has been used as a bridge to recovery, with mixed outcomes. We describe a patient with failed single-ventricle palliation in whom severe RV failure developed after HT.

Hybrid procedure of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, comprising ductus arteriosus stenting and bilateral pulmonary artery banding, is a good surgical option for initial palliative procedure for high-risk patients for Norwood procedure. However, ductal stenting may cause retrograde aortic blood flow obstruction. Furthermore, complete removal of stent while performing the Norwood procedure make the operation more difficult.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to estimate factors affecting survival in prenatally diagnosed hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and echocardiographic features predicting poor prognosis and early neonatal death.

Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study. Cases of hypoplastic left heart syndrome diagnosed in the prenatal period between 2014 and 2023 were extracted from electronic medical records.
