A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with posterior ventricular septal rupture after acute myocardial infarction with dissection in the posterior wall of the ventricular septum. On admission, cardiogenic shock was identified, and an Impella CP was inserted to improve his hemodynamics. Extended sandwich patch repair through the right ventricle with a Dacron patch was successfully performed, achieving an excellent postoperative course with stable hemodynamics. Preoperative Impella introduction may be a useful strategy for ventricular septal rupture repair in the acute phase.

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.
Occluder Device Removal and Total Septation of "Swiss-Cheese" Ventricular Septal Defects.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Children's Heart Institute, Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston McGovern Medical School, Houston, TX, USA.
"Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects present complex treatment challenges. Despite difficult defect visualization and closure, complete septation is the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 2-year-old with residual apical "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects after failed percutaneous device closure with 2 occluder devices.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Institute for Integrated Life Skills, LLC, Bermuda Run, North Carolina.
Background: The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) valved conduit (VC) has been reported for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). The purpose of this study was to review long-term outcomes of our trileaflet ePTFE VC.
Methods: This multicenter study was performed with institutional review board approval from each institution.
Patients With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Have a Shorter Superior Vena Cava.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Biostatistics Unit, Department of Data Science, National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The primary treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is the Fontan pathway, which entails performing the Glenn procedure. We hypothesized that the superior vena cava in patients with HLHS was short. As the length of the superior vena cava influences the Glenn procedure, we compared its length between patients with HLHS and those with other congenital heart diseases.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Section of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, New York, New York.
Among repairs for ventriculoarterial discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, aortic root translocation (Nikaidoh operation) offers the most anatomic result. With a diminutive pulmonary annulus or hypoplastic left ventricular outflow tract, the distance gained posteriorly with aortic translocation is negligible. We developed the "hemi-Nikaidoh" procedure as an alternative.
