Usefulness of perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography during paediatric cardiac surgery. Arch Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 117:177-185. [PMID: 38272760 DOI: 10.1016/j.acvd.2023.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Paediatric transoesophageal echocardiography probes allow perioperative evaluation during paediatric congenital heart disease surgery. AIM To assess the usefulness of perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography in evaluating the severity of residual lesions, based on the type of congenital heart disease repaired in paediatric patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on paediatric patients who underwent open-heart surgery at our tertiary centre over a four-year period. Perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography studies were performed, and residual lesions were classified as mild, moderate or severe. RESULTS Overall, 323 procedures involving 310 patients with a median age of 13.8 (0.07-214.4) months and a median weight of 8.2 (2-96) kg at intervention were enrolled in the study. Twenty-one (6.5%) residual lesions led to immediate reintervention: severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n=12); severe aortic regurgitation (n=3); superior vena cava stenosis (n=2); moderate residual ventricular septal defect (n=2); severe mitral regurgitation (n=1); and severe mitral stenosis (n=1). Three (0.9%) neonates had ventilation difficulties caused by the transoesophageal echocardiography probe having to be removed, but experienced no sequelae. CONCLUSION Perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography is a safe procedure, providing information on severe residual lesions, leading to the immediate revision of several paediatric congenital heart disease cases.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 16:2587-2599. [PMID: 37855807 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2023.07.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
Superior sinus venosus defect is a communication between the right and left atrium located above the upper margin of the oval fossa, immediately inferior to the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. It is systematically associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, especially of the right upper pulmonary vein. Surgical repair has been the gold standard approach to close that defect. Introduced in 2014, percutaneous closure has gradually become a safe and effective alternative to surgery in carefully selected patients, although worldwide experience remains limited. This article provides an appraisal of the patients' selection process and a step-by-step description of the procedure as well as a comprehensive review of its outcomes.

[PMID: 36208106 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.17007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Warden procedure has been described for repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections inserted high into the superior vena cava. In the current report, we describe a new modification. METHODS A total of six patients (five females, 83%) with a mean age of 18.8 ± 10.8 years, underwent a modified Warden procedure with a descending thoracic aortic (DTA) homograft connected to the free wall of the right atrium, rather than to the right atrial appendage in the period between June 2021 and July 2022. RESULTS All patients had evidence of enlarged right-sided cardiac chambers. Two patients had intact interatrial septum (33.3%), while three patients had sinus venosus (50%) and one had secundum atrial septal defects (16.7%). The procedure was performed via minimally invasive right thoracotomy in half of the patients. Patients were extubated in the operating room or soon after. No early mortality or reoperation. One patient required concomitant aortic root replacement and one needed repair of anomalous left upper pulmonary vein connection to the left innominate vein. Follow-up was complete in all patients with a mean of 6.2 ± 4.6 months. No late mortality or reoperation. All patients were discharged on antiplatelet therapy. Follow-up imaging studies showed satisfactory repair with widely patent superior vena caval and pulmonary venous pathways. CONCLUSIONS The use of DTA homograft to facilitate superior vena caval translocation in the modified Warden procedure appears to be beneficial as it decreases tension on the anastomosis and avoids the need for anticoagulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Operative repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) remains challenging due to risks of sinus node dysfunction, baffle obstruction, and superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction. METHODS Traditional or modified Warden procedures were performed in 75 of 318 consecutive patients (24%) with PAPVC repaired surgically at our institution during 1993 to 2021. Clinical characteristics, echocardiography data, operative details, and early and late outcomes were collected. Cumulative incidence of reintervention and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis are reported. RESULTS Median age was 39 years (interquartile range, 21-57 years). Fifty-nine (79%) had normal sinus rhythm preoperatively. Seventeen (23%) had intact atrial septa. Traditional and modified Warden procedures were performed in 15 (20%) and 60 (80%), respectively. Frequent concomitant procedures included 15 (20%) tricuspid valve repairs and 12 (16%) atrial fibrillation procedures. There were no early deaths. Postoperative complications included atrial fibrillation in 17 (23%), sinus node dysfunction in 15 (20%), pneumothorax in 3 (4%), pleural effusion in 2 (3%), and pacemaker implantation in 1 (1%). At hospital discharge, sinus node dysfunction persisted in 8 (11%). Over a median follow-up of 6 years (interquartile range, 4-10 years), baffle obstruction developed in 1 patient and SVC obstruction developed in 7. None required reoperation and 6 were treated with SVC stents. At 1, 5, and 10 years, the cumulative incidence of reintervention was 5%, 7%, and 14%, and survival was 99%, 94%, and 94%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Traditional and modified Warden procedures can be performed with satisfactory early and late survival. Persistent sinus node dysfunction and need for permanent pacing are low. Late SVC obstruction is uncommon and can often be managed nonoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is the most common subtype of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. We aimed to describe the morphological spectrum of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and to identify risk factors for death and postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. METHODS From February 2009 to June 2019, 241 patients diagnosed with supracardiac-Ia (left-sided vertical vein, n = 185) or supracardiac-Ib (right-sided connection directly to superior vena cava, n = 56) total anomalous pulmonary venous connection underwent initial surgical repair at our institute. Cases with functionally univentricular circulations or atrial isomerism were excluded. Patients' postoperative survival was described by Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards models and competing risk regression models were used to identify clinical risk factors for death and postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. RESULTS There were 8 early deaths and 4 late deaths. The overall survivals at 30 days, 1 year, and 10 years were 97.1%, 94.8%, and 94.8%, respectively, in the supracardiac-Ia group (2.7%, 5/185) (hazard ratio, 4.8; P = .003). Five patients required reoperation for pulmonary venous obstruction, including 2 patients who required reintervention for superior vena cava syndromes (all in the supracardiac-Ib group). One patient required superior vena cava balloon dilation for superior vena cava syndromes. Multivariable analysis showed that the supracardiac-Ib group (12.5%, 7/56) had a significantly higher mortality rate than the supracardiac-Ia group (adjusted hazard ratio, 8.5, P = .008). Surgical weight less than 2.5 kg (adjusted hazard ratio, 10.8, P = .023), longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.15 per 10 minutes, P = .012), and supracardiac-Ib subtype (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.7, P = .037) were independent risk factors associated with death. The supracardiac-Ib subtype (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.8, P = .003) was an incremental risk factor associated with postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. CONCLUSIONS Morphological features of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, especially the supracardiac-Ib subtype, were risk factors associated with postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction and survival. Patients with unique anatomic subtypes might require more individualized surgical planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The single- and double-patch repairs are undoubtedly the most commonly used techniques for the surgical management of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection associated with sinus venosus atrial septal defect. The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare early and long-term surgical outcomes in paediatric and adult patients, focusing in particular on the occurrence of ectopic atrial rhythm. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy patients (male: 38, 54.2%) underwent surgical repair for partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with sinus venosus atrial septal defect. Forty-nine patients (70%) underwent surgical repair in paediatric age (<16 years old), while 21 of (30%) patients were operated in adulthood. Thirty patients (42.8%) underwent single-patch repair and 39 patients (55.7%) underwent double-patch repair. In only one patient, the Warden procedure was performed (1.4%). Median follow-up time was 52 months (IQ 15.1-113). RESULTS The type of surgical technique didn't affect the incidence of ectopic atrial rhythm (26.6% in single-patch group and 25.6% in double-patch groups, p = 0.9). At long-term follow-up, ectopic atrial rhythm, as an expression of sinoatrial node disturbance, was however significantly more frequent in the paediatric population (28.8% paediatric group and 4.7% adult group, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The higher incidence of ectopic atrial rhythm in children is probably related to the closer position of the sinus node to the superior cavoatrial incision, which makes irreversible iatrogenic traumatism more likely to occur. Surgical techniques that avoid any manipulation on the superior cavoatrial junction should, therefore, be preferred for children undergoing partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair.

Abstract
Thirty-eight-year-old male presented for evaluation of abdominal swelling, lower extremity edema and dyspnea on exertion. Extensive work-up in search of the culprit etiology revealed the presence of an Anomalous Right Upper Pulmonary Venous Return (ARUPVR) into the Superior Vena Cava (SVC). During the attempted repair, the pericardium was found to be thickened and constrictive. Only one other case of co-existent partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and constrictive pericarditis (CP) has been reported. The patient underwent a warden procedure with pericardial stripping with good outcomes at 45 days post-operatively. Thus, the presence of severe heart failure symptoms in the setting of ARUPVR should prompt further investigations. Also, further cases are needed to help guide management in these patients.
