Abstract
BACKGROUND The modified L-shaped incision technique (MLIT) was successfully applied to the repair of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with promising mid-term outcomes. It is, however, unclear whether or not MLIT could be an alternative to sutureless technique (ST). METHODS All patients ( n =141) who underwent MLIT or ST repair for supracardiac TAPVC between June 2009 and June 2022 were included and a propensity score-matched analysis was performed to reduce the heterogeneity. RESULTS MLIT was performed in 80.9% (114/141), whereas ST was performed in 19.1% (27/141). Patients who underwent MLIT repair had a lower incidence of pulmonary veinous obstruction (PVO)-related reintervention (1.8 vs. 18.5%, P =0.002), and late mortality (2.6 vs. 18.2%, P =0.006). Overall survival at 10 years was 92.5% (87.7-97.7%) for MLIT and 66.8% (44.4-100%) for ST ( P =0.012). Freedom from postoperative PVO at 10 years was 89.1% (83.2-95.5%) for MLIT and 79.9% (65.6-97.4%) for ST ( P =0.12). Cox proportional hazards regression identified prolonged mechanical ventilation duration, postoperative PVO, respiratory dysfunction, and low cardiac output syndrome were associated with postoperative death and PVO-related reintervention. CONCLUSIONS The MLIT strategy is a safe, technologically feasible, and effective approach for supracardiac TAPVC, which is associated with more favorable and promising freedom from death and PVO-related reintervention.

Abstract
Objective Challenges persist in surgery for neonatal total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (neoTAPVC), with the high mortality risk not mitigated over time. Methods A prospectively collected single-center database containing all neonates with TAPVC undergoing biventricular repair in 2012 to 2020 was retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was death or postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PPVO). Based on the preoperative admission location in our hospital, patients were classified into those being admitted to cardiac intensive care unit versus neonatal intensive care unit or general pediatric intensive care unit. Access to dedicated presurgical care (DPC) was defined as patients who were preoperatively admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Results Overall, 241 patients with a median age at surgery of 14 days (interquartile range [IQR], 9-21 days) were included. Anomalous return was supracardiac in 38.6%, cardiac in 26.1%, infracardiac in 28.6%, and mixed in 6.6%. Patients receiving DPC had better survival (96.3% vs 84.3%; P = .0028) and lower incidence of PPVO (15.2% vs 28.6%; P = .011) compared with those without DPC. Patients in the DPC group were less likely to undergo operation within 24 hours on presentation (27.1% vs 40.3%; P = .041), had improved lactate clearance (1.5 [IQR, 1.0-2.2] vs 2.8 [IQR, 1.8-4.1]; P < .001), and had lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary hypertension crisis (2.8% vs 18.7%; P < .001) compared with those in no-DPC group. After matching, no difference in PPVO could be observed in patients undergoing conventional versus sutureless repair (22.6% vs 12.9%; P = .29). Conclusions Access to DPC potentially improves outcomes in the neoTAPVC setting; freedom from PPVO were similar using conventional versus sutureless repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with major congenital cardiac anomalies is rare. This coexistence has an impact on the diagnosis and management strategies. The objective of this single centre study was to analyse the outcomes of such association in bi-ventricular hearts. METHODS This is a single-centre retrospective review of all patients who underwent repair for TAPVC associated with major congenital cardiac anomalies in bi-ventricular hearts from February 2015 to March 2020. Data were obtained from the hospital database. The primary aim was to assess the surgical outcomes. In addition, we described the incidence, pathophysiology, morphology and surgical strategies in this cohort of patients. RESULTS Out of a total of 274 patients who underwent repair for TAPVC during the study period, 16 (5.8%) patients had one or more major associated cardiac defect anomalies. The major associated lesions were ventricular septal defects (9), tetralogy of Fallot (2), transposition of the great arteries (1), aorto-pulmonary window (1), partial atrioventricular canal defect (1), pulmonary stenosis (1) and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation due to flail chord (1). The mean follow-up period is 32 ± 13 months. There were two deaths in the post-operative period and no deaths in the follow-up period. CONCLUSION The incidence of major associated cardiovascular defects with TAPVC in bi-ventricular morphology is 5.8%. The presence of a major associated lesion with TAPVC significantly alters the pathophysiology and clinical presentation with an impact on diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare but critical cardiac anomaly, in which pulmonary veins are connected to an abnormal location rather than the left atrium. The prognosis can be extremely poor without intervention, with a mortality of 80% during infancy. The purpose of this research is to summarize the outcomes and relevant risk factors of 80 total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) patients who underwent primary TAPVC sutureless repair and discuss the indications and benefits of primary sutureless repair. Methods This retrospective review included 80 patients with TAPVC who underwent primary sutureless repair at a single institution between January 2015 and December 2020. Patients were subdivided into 4 groups according to Darling's classification. Risk factors that increase the postoperative pulmonary vein flow velocity were explored by Multiple Linear regression. Results Anatomic TAPVC subtypes included supracardiac 35 (43.8%), cardiac 24 (30%), infracardiac 17 (21.2%), and mixed 4 (5%). Median age at repair was 16.5 days and median weight was 3.5 kg. Preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO)was presented in 20 (25%) patients. There were 2 early deaths and 1 late death. 2 patients developed postoperative PVO and none required reintervention. Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPB) (p = 0.009), preoperative pneumonia (p = 0.022) and gender (p = 0.041) were found to be associated with the increase of postoperative pulmonary vein flow velocity. Discussion Under the primary sutureless technique, no statistical difference was observed among the 4 subgroups in terms of postoperative pulmonary vein flow velocity (p = 0.589). The primary sutureless technique may eliminate the differences between subtypes while decrease the postoperative PVO rate, which makes it applicable in any subtypes of TAPVC. Following the favorable outcomes in preventing postoperative PVO in all subtypes in this study, we advocate the indications for primary sutureless repair may expand further to all the TAPVC patients.

Abstract
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare, cyanotic and critical congenital heart disease where the entire left and right pulmonary veins fail to drain into the left atrium directly. Also, TAPVC-induced tissue hypoxia gradually worsens after birth. Thus, timely surgical repairs are recommended once diagnosed, particularly with pulmonary venous drainage obstruction(s). Nonetheless, in sporadic cases, patients with TAPVC survive to adulthood with no surgical treatment. Herein, we report a 46-year-old female with TAPVC, where the four pulmonary veins drain into to the innominate vein (IV) via the vertical vein. The patient developed palpitations and non-anginal chest pain following routine activities for over three months. The patient had a successful surgical correction with excellent postoperative recovery.

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
Background Mortality after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) in neonates has remained high. Analysis of risk factors may help identify therapeutic targets to improve survival. Methods Retrospective analysis of all neonates who underwent simple TAPVD repair. Results Between 1973 and 2021, 175 neonates underwent TAPVD repair, at a median age of 6 days (interquartile range, 2-15 days) and a mean weight of 3.2 ± 0.6 kg. TAPVD was supracardiac in 42.3% of the patients (74 of 175), cardiac in 14.3% (25 of 175), infracardiac in 40% (70 of 175), and mixed type in 3.4% (6 of 175), with obstruction in 65.7% (115 of 175). Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) crisis occurred in 12% (21 of 175). Early mortality was 9.7% (17 of 175) and late mortality was 5.1% (8 of 158), with most deaths occurring within 1 year (75%; 6 of 8). Survival was 86.5% (95% CI, 80.3%-90.8%) at 1 year and 85.8% (95% CI, 79.6%-90.3%) at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years. Survival was lower in patients with obstructed TAPVD, patients with emergent surgery, and those with PHT crisis. PHT crisis (hazard ratio [HR], 4.93; 95% CI, 1.95-12.51; P = .001), urgency of surgery (HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.11-5.68; P = .027), and higher pulmonary artery pressure-to-systemic blood pressure percentage ratio (HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.01-1.11; P = .026) were identified as risk factors for mortality. Histopathological analysis of 17 patients (9.7%; 17 of 175) showed signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension with media hypertrophy in 58.8% (10 of 17). Conclusions Mortality after TAPVD repair occurred mainly within the first year of life. Urgency of surgery and persistent PHT appears to be risk factors for mortality. Lung biopsy might be useful for identifying patients at risk and guiding newer treatment modalities.

Abstract
The sutureless technique was initially used for the treatment of postoperative pulmonary vein obstruction (PVO) in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). However, as the effectiveness of the sutureless technique has been confirmed and widely developed, the sutureless technique has been used for the primary treatment of high-risk children with TAPVC who are at high risk of PVO. Compared with traditional surgery, the sutureless technique significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative PVO, re-intervention rate due to PVO, and postoperative mortality, but there are potential complications such as pericardial and confluent venous anastomosis, phrenic nerve damage, air embolism. In addition, the sutureless technique is not effective in dealing with the progressive stenosis of the pulmonary veins after sutureless surgery and diffuse stenosis of extrapulmonary proximal veins and intrapulmonary veins. These make the efficacy and safety of this procedure controversial. This paper reviews the research status of the sutureless technique in TAPVC repair at home and abroad over the years.

Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to establish a nomogram to quantify the risk of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) and to make a scientific decision through the decision curve.MethodsIn total, 151 PVO patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair in our hospital from December 2008 to December 2015 were involved in this study. A nomogram was generated based on the contribution weights of variables, which were found out by logistic analysis. The optimal clinical decision point was determined by the decision analysis and clinical impact curve, which could assess the net benefit between the nomogram and each independent risk factor for postoperative PVO.ResultPulmonary venous obstruction with TAPVC repair was found to be positively and independently correlated with preoperative pulmonary hypertension, surgical methods, and preoperative pulmonary venous stenosis.Conclusion(s)The study introduced a novel model to aid in clinical decisions making for the patients with TAPVC individually, which may shed light on the evaluation of PVO risk.

Abstract
Neonatal total anomalous pulmonary venous connection has an incidence of about ∼1-2%.1 The clinical presentation of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in the neonatal period is dependent on the presence or absence of pulmonary venous obstruction, which is usual when the veins connect to the umbilicovitelline system, as in infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection presents with severe respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and cyanosis and requires urgent surgical intervention. However, critically ill neonates with obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection have a higher surgical morbidity and mortality, and pre-operative stabilisation can improve outcomes in them. We present a case of a septic term neonate with obstructed infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection who underwent emergency palliative stent placement for immediate relief of pulmonary venous obstruction.

Abstract
Background: Recent developments in surgical techniques and hospital care have led to improved outcomes following repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). However, surgical repair of neonatal TAPVC remains associated with a high risk of postoperative mortality and pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). We conducted this retrospective study to identify risk factors associated with surgical outcomes in the neonatal population. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for all 127 neonates who underwent operations for isolated TAPVC from January 2009 to January 2019. Results: Preoperative PVO occurred in 33 (26.0%) of the 127 patients. Fifty patients (39.4%) required tracheal intubation before the operation. Twenty-three patients (18.1%) underwent emergency surgery. There were 11 (8.7%) early deaths. Significant risk factors were prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (p = 0.013) and increased postoperative central venous pressure (CVP, p = 0.036). There were 5 (4.3%) late deaths within 1 year of repair. The risk factors for overall death were preoperative acidosis (p = 0.001), prolonged CPB time (p < 0.001) and increased postoperative CVP (p = 0.007). In particular, mortality was significantly higher (p = 0.007) with a postoperative CVP > 8 mmHg. With an increase in use of sutureless techniques (p = 0.001) and decrease in deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (p = 0.009) over the past 5 years, postoperative mortality greatly decreased (21.2%: 6.7%, p = 0.016). Postoperative PVO occurred in 15 patients (11.8%). Risk factors were mixed TAPVC (p = 0.037), preoperative acidosis (p = 0.001) and prolonged CPB time (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Although postoperative mortality of neonatal TAPVC has dropped to 6.7% over the past 5 years, it is still relatively high. Risk factors for postoperative death include preoperative acidosis, prolonged CPB time and increased postoperative CVP. Mortality was significantly higher for neonates with an average CVP > 8 mmHg 24 h after surgery.

Abstract
To evaluate the surgical outcomes of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage focusing on survival, postoperative and pulmonary venous obstruction. Further investigate the role of primary sutureless technique in patients with preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. Consecutive patients underwent total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage repair in our institution during Jan 2000 to Dec 2019 were enrolled into this retrospective analysis. Since 2016, sutureless repair was regularly applied in patients with preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. All patients with preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction referred before 2016 had underwent traditional repair. A total of 95 patients were included. During follow-up time of 85 months, main endpoints were documented in 21 patients, including 9 (9.5%) early deaths, 3 (2.3%) late deaths and 9 (9.5%) postoperative pulmonary venous obstructions. Preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction was presented in 26 (27.4%) patients with more emergent surgery (14/26 vs 3/69, P < 0.001) was required. Main endpoints occurred more in patients with preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (4/26 vs 5/69, P = 0.004). Patients experienced sutureless technique had a lower incidence of postoperative PVO at follow-up (0/11 versus 4/11, P = 0.045). Outcomes of surgical repair for total anomalous venous drainage are satisfactory. However, preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction may be accompanying unfavorable early deaths and postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction. Propensity matching analysis showed that sutureless technique was benefit for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction without longer cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to review surgical experiences in patients with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). METHODS This retrospective study included 63 infants who underwent conventional repair (n = 27) and sutureless repair (n = 36) from 1 February 2009 to 31 June 2019. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regressions were applied to analyse the overall survival and risk factors. Cumulative incidence curves and competing risk models were used to evaluate postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). RESULTS There were 4 hospital deaths and 2 late deaths, and 8 patients experienced postoperative PVO. The survival rates at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years were 95.2%, 90.5% and 90.5%, respectively. The overall survival rate was significantly higher in the sutureless group than that in the conventional group. The cumulative incidence of postoperative PVO in the conventional group was higher than that in the sutureless group. Univariable Cox regression analyses showed that lower surgical weight, increase in preoperative international normalized ratio, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp time and longer duration of postoperative ventilation were associated with higher mortality. Longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, lower preoperative prothrombin activity and the increasing preoperative international normalized ratio before surgical repair were associated with a higher incidence of postoperative PVO. CONCLUSIONS Both sutureless and conventional repairs for patients with infracardiac TAPVC achieved favourable postoperative outcomes. There was no death in the sutureless repair group. Compared to conventional repair, sutureless repair was associated with lower mortality and lower incidence of restenosis in pulmonary veins and anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high incidence of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) is a major mortality-associated concern in patients with right atrial isomerism and extracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). We evaluated new anatomical risk factors for reducing the space behind the heart after TAPVC repair. METHODS Eighteen patients who underwent TAPVC repair between 2014 and 2020 were enrolled. Sutureless technique was used in 12 patients and conventional repair in six patients. The angle between the line perpendicular to the vertebral body and that from the vertebral body to the apex was defined as the "vertebral-apex angle (V-A angle)." The ratio of postoperative and preoperative angles, indicating the apex's lateral rotation, was compared between patients with and without PVO. RESULTS The median (interquartile range) age and body weight at repair were 102 (79-176) days and 3.8 (2.6-4.8) kg, respectively. The 1-year survival rate was 83% (median follow-up, 29 [11-36] months). PVO occurred in seven patients (39%), who showed an obstruction of one or two branches in the apex side. The postoperative V-A angle (46° [45°-50°] vs. 36° [29°-38°], p = 0.001) and the ratio of postoperative and preoperative V-A angles (1.27 [1.24-1.42] vs. 1.03 [0.98-1.07], p = 0.001) were significantly higher in the PVO group than in the non-PVO group. The cut-off values of the postoperative V-A angle and ratio were 41° and 1.17, respectively. CONCLUSION A postoperative rotation of the heart apex into the ipsilateral thorax was a risk factor for branch PVO after TAPVC repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is important to guide treatment planning and risk prognostication. No standardized echocardiographic definition of obstruction exists in the literature. Definitions based on absolute velocities are affected by technical limitations and variations in pulmonary venous return. The authors developed a metric to quantify pulmonary venous blood flow variation: pulmonary venous variability index (PVVI). The aim of this study was to demonstrate its accuracy in defining obstruction. METHODS All patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection at a single institution were identified. Echocardiograms were reviewed, and maximum (Vmax), mean (Vmean), and minimum (Vmin) velocities along the pulmonary venous pathway were measured. PVVI was defined as (Vmax - Vmin)/Vmean. These metrics were compared with pressures measured on cardiac catheterization. Echocardiographic measures were then compared between patients with and without clinical preoperative obstruction (defined as a need for preoperative intubation, catheter-based intervention, or surgery within 1 day of diagnosis), as well as pulmonary edema by chest radiography and markers of lactic acidosis. One hundred thirty-seven patients were included, with 22 having catheterization pressure recordings. RESULTS Vmax and Vmean were not different between patients with catheter gradients ≥ 4 and < 4 mm Hg, while PVVI was significantly lower and Vmin higher in those with gradients ≥ 4 mm Hg. The composite outcome of preoperative obstruction occurred in 51 patients (37%). Absolute velocities were not different between patients with and without clinical obstruction, while PVVI was significantly lower in patients with obstruction. All metrics except Vmax were associated with pulmonary edema; none were associated with blood gas metrics. CONCLUSIONS The authors developed a novel quantitative metric of pulmonary venous flow, which was superior to traditional echocardiographic metrics. Decreased PVVI was highly associated with elevated gradients measured by catheterization and clinical preoperative obstruction. These results should aid risk assessment and diagnosis preoperatively in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Surgical outcomes of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair by the posterior technique (PT) remain unsatisfactory. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of the modified L-shaped incision technique with the PT for supracardiac TAPVC repair. METHODS From January 2009 to December 2019, 121 consecutive patients with supracardiac TAPVC undergoing surgical repair in our institution were included (L-group, n = 53; PT group, n = 68). A propensity score-matched analysis was performed. Patients with single-ventricle physiology or atrial isomerism were excluded. All clinical data were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS In the unmatched cohort, the median follow-up duration was 33 months (interquartile range 26-65 months). There were 5 operative mortalities (4.1%) and 12 late mortalities (9.9%). Postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) was documented in 21 patients. After matching (52 pairs), the overall survival rate in the L-group was 88.2% at both 3 and 5 years. For the propensity score-matched patients with preoperative PVO (n = 20), statistically significant differences (P = 0.002) were found by Kaplan-Meier curves with freedom from death and postoperative PVO at 1 and 3 years of 100% and 85.7% [standard deviation (SD): 13.2%] in the L-group and 90% (SD: 9.5%) and 22.9% (SD: 14.1%) in the PT group, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that the use of the PT was an independent risk factor for death and postoperative PVO (hazard ratio 4.12, 95% confidence interval 1.12-15.16; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The modified L-shaped incision technique provided an acceptable outcome for supracardiac TAPVC repair. Compared with PT, the modified L-shaped incision technique was significantly associated with decreased death and postoperative PVO in patients with obstructed supracardiac TAPVC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is one of the commonest seen emergencies in pediatric cardiology centers. CASE PRESENTATION Our case was diagnosed to have this anomaly, showing early respiratory distress resulting from severe pulmonary congestion. Palliative stenting of the obstruction was done, which helped in stabilizing the debilitated hemodynamics of the baby before surgery, thus a good surgical outcome and prognosis are expected. CONCLUSION This intervention may be listed as a vital measurement in the preoperative cardiac stabilization plan for infants with obstructed TAPVC.

Abstract
The histological and immunohistochemical methods were employed to examine the peculiarities of histological structure of pulmonary veins and left atrium of the heart in norm and in various types of total anomalous drainage of pulmonary veins. In contrast to normal pulmonary vein covered with external multiple muscle layers (myocardial sleeve), such sleeve is absent in veins that have no connection with the left atrium irrespective of the type of the defect. In patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, the structure of left atrium was heterogeneous featuring either the presence or absence of inner angiomural lining in this atrium. The structural peculiarities are important for insight into etiology of the development of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

Long-Term Quality of Life Outcomes in Adult Survivors After Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage Repair. Ann Thorac Surg 2019; 110:654-659. [PMID: 31794738 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2019.10.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 09/14/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine the long-term quality of life after repair of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage using the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaire in adult survivors. METHODS All patients who underwent repair of partial or total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD or TAPVD) and were 18 years of age or older with a current contact number were identified from the hospital database. The mean age of the 101 patients was 26 ± 7 years (range, 18-49) old. Patients completed the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire via telephone. The results of the 8 domains of the SF-36 questionnaire and the derived health state summary score (SF-6-Dimension) were compared against an age-matched Australian population data. RESULTS Compared with Australian population age-matched data, the 18- to 24-year-old TAPVD/PAPVD patients ranked their health higher in 1 of 8 domains; however the SF-6-Dimension scores were similar (0.75 for TAPVD and PAPVD patients vs 0.77 for the Australian population, P = .2). In the 25-50 age group TAPVD/PAPVD patients ranked their health higher in 3 of 8 domains. However the SF-6-Dimension scores were similar to Australian age-matched population (0.78 for TAPVD and PAPVD patients vs 0.77 for the Australian population, P = .51). CONCLUSIONS Young adult survivors after anomalous pulmonary venous drainage repair have similar quality of life outcomes as age-matched Australian control subjects as measured by SF-6-Dimension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) and a univentricular circulation survive to Fontan completion. Hence, we sought to determine the long-term outcomes of the Fontan operation in patients with TAPVD. METHODS Patients with TAPVD who underwent the Fontan operation and survived to hospital discharge in Australia and New Zealand between 1985 to 2017 were identified (n = 54) from a binational Fontan registry. RESULTS Thirty-two patients (60%) underwent repair of TAPVD at a median age of 0.8 (interquartile range: 0.3-1.6) years. Thirty-seven patients (69%) had heterotaxy. The median age at time of Fontan operation was 5.7 years. There were 4 late deaths and 3 patients required cardiac transplantation for a failing Fontan circulation. On univariate analysis, the concomitant diagnosis of pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular dominance was associated with late death or transplantation (P = .04). Freedom from late death or transplantation at 15 years after the Fontan operation was 88% ± 7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 67%-96%) for the repaired TAPVD group and 90% ± 6% (95% CI, 67%-98%) for the unrepaired TAPVD group (P = .47). Median follow-up after the Fontan procedure was 10.8 (interquartile range, 6.7-16.2) years. The majority of survivors (94%) were in New York Heart Association functional class I or II. The 15-year freedom from death or transplantation was similar for patients with TAPVD (89% ± 5%; 95% CI, 76%-95%) compared with patients without TAPVD in the Fontan registry (n = 1446; 92% ± 1%; 95% CI, 90%-93%) (P = .12). CONCLUSIONS Long-term survival of patients with TAPVD who undergo the Fontan operation and survived to hospital discharge is comparable to Fontan survivors without TAPVD.

Pediatr Cardiol 2019; 40:881-891. [PMID: 30196381 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-018-1948-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2018] [Accepted: 08/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed for a comparison of outcomes between sutureless technique and conventional surgery for primary repair for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Electronic databases including PubMed, EMbase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched systematically for the single-arm studies regarding sutureless repair or conventional surgery, and two-arm studies compared the outcomes of sutureless repair and conventional surgery for TAPVC. Corresponding data were extracted and the methodological quality was assessed by two reviewers independently. 26 studies were included, involving a total of 2702 patients. It was observed that compared with conventional surgery, sutureless technique was associated with a lower occurrence rate of post-operative pulmonary veins obstruction (PVO) (4.6% vs. 13.5%, OR 0.54 in favor of sutureless technique) and re-operations due to PVO (3.4% vs. 12.4%, 0.25 in favor of sutureless technique). However, meta-analyses of post-operative early (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.27-1.19; P = 0.13), late (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.13-1.06; P = 0.13), and overall (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.36-1.03; P = 0.07) mortality showed no significant difference between sutureless technique and conventional surgery. Compared with conventional surgery, sutureless technique was associated with a lower occurrence rate of post-operative PVO and re-operations due to PVO. Meanwhile, post-operative early, late, and overall mortality were not statistically different between two surgical approaches. Sutureless technique is beneficial in the primary repair of TAPVC regarding post-operative PVO and re-operations due to PVO. However, the level of evidence was low and randomized controlled trials should be designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sutureless technique for TAPVC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary venous obstruction after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) results in substantial morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for postoperative obstruction remain ambiguous. In addition, the existing literature has no standard definition for preoperative obstruction, making patient counseling difficult. METHODS All patients undergoing repair of TAPVC at our institution from January 1, 2006, to October 23, 2017, were identified. The primary outcome was the development of postoperative obstruction, analyzed as a time-to-event outcome. Clinical information was extracted to assess risk factors. Degrees of preoperative obstruction were defined based on echocardiographic, catheterization, and clinical findings. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression methods were used to identify factors associated with the primary outcome. RESULTS During the study interval, 119 patients underwent repair of TAPVC (40% single ventricle), and postoperative obstruction developed in 25 patients (21%). Risk factors associated with obstruction were heterotaxy syndrome, single-ventricle heart disease, additional procedures at the time of vein repair, mixed-type TAPVC, and preoperative obstruction. Having even mild preoperative obstruction (≥1.2 m/s by Doppler echocardiography) was predictive of postoperative obstruction. A multivariable model showed mixed-type TAPVC and the presence of preoperative obstruction were associated with a more than twofold greater hazard of obstruction. CONCLUSIONS TAPVC in the setting of heterotaxy and a single ventricle remains challenging, with high rates of postoperative obstruction. Mixed-type TAPVC is an independent risk factor for postoperative obstruction, particularly in patients with isolated TAPVC. Even mild preoperative obstruction is a risk factor for postoperative obstruction. These results may help risk-stratify TAPVC patients.

Abstract
Objective The efficacy of using a sutureless approach in order to surgically manage postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis following total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) has been reported, though outcomes of primary treatment of supracardiac TAPVD remain unclear. We retrospectively reviewed our cardiac center experience, and compared the differences in mid-term outcomes for those patients that received conventional surgery and those that underwent sutureless technique for the primary repair of supracardiac TAPVD. Methods A total of 43 patients (median age, 199 days; range, 35 days to 1572 days) with supracardiac TAPVD underwent surgical treatment at our cardiac center from 2014 to 2018 were studied retrospectively. Primary sutureless repair was conducted in 20 cases (46.5%). The pulmonary vein scores, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), baseline of the included patients, postoperative, and outcomes data were analyzed between the two groups. Results The pulmonary vein scores, indicating the stenosis degree, of two groups were 0.1 ± 0.3 and 0.1 ± 0.3, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (%) were separately 66.2 ± 12.1 and 67.1 ± 13.6. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time of sutureless techniques group was much longer than conventional group (96.2 ± 32.6 min vs 75.6 ± 28.2 min, P < 0.05), but there was no difference in aortic cross-clamp time between the two groups. Followed up from 0.1 to 4 years, 3 cases died overall, with 1 (5.0%) individual dying from postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) in sutureless group, and 2 (8.6%) dying in the conventional group respectively for postoperative infection and post-PVO. There were no differences in the length of stay in the ICU, grades of PVS after surgery, LVEF and reoperation rate between the two groups. Conclusions The mortality, post-PVO, follow up results of supracadiac TAPVD showed no differences between sutureless and conventional techniques. Post-PVO supposed to be the main reason for postoperative mortality.

Abstract
Obstructed “total anomalous pulmonary venous connection” mostly presents with respiratory distress secondary to pulmonary congestion. We report two very sick patients who were referred to our cardiac center for intervention to relieve vertical vein (VV) obstruction. Due to hemodynamic instability and associated morbidity, the decision in our combined meeting was to go for interventional cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
Backgroud A meta-analysis was performed to compare the differences in outcomes between sutureless technique and conventional surgery for primary repair of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection(TAPVC). Methods Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang Data and Weipu Data were searched systematically for the literature aimed mainly at comparing the therapeutic effects for primary repair of TAPVC administered by sutureless technique and conventional surgery. Corresponding data sets were extracted and two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality. Results Seven studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included, involving a total of 1293 subjects. It was observed that sutureless technique entailed a lower occurrence rate of post-operative Pulmonary Veins Obstruction (PVO) (OR, 0.52 95%CI, 0.32–0.86; P = 0.01) and re-operation due to PVO (OR, 0.28;95%CI, 0.09–0.87; P = 0.03). However, meta-analyses of hospitalization time (WMD, 5.92; 95%CI, − 7.97-19.80; P = 0.40) and post-operative mortality (OR, 0.65; 95%CI, 0.41–1.04; P = 0.07) showed no significant differences between sutureless technique and conventional surgery. Meta-analysis of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) time and aortic cross-clamp time also showed no significant differences between the two surgical approaches (WMD, 5.07; 95%CI, − 9.29-19.42; P = 0.49); (WMD, 5.73; 95%CI, − 7.76-19.23; P = 0.40), but the result remained inconclusive due to pooling result changes after sensitivity analysis. Conclusions Compared with conventional surgery, a lower occurrence rate of post-operative PVO and re-operation due to PVO were associated with sutureless technique. Meanwhile, hospitalization time and post-operative mortality were not statistically different between the two surgical approaches. Pooling result of CPB and aortic cross-clamp time between the two groups remained inconclusive.

Successful Surgical Repair and Perioperative Management of 6-Month-Old With Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return in a Developing Country: Considerations for the Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension. Cardiol Res 2018; 9:53-58. [PMID: 29479388 PMCID: PMC5819631 DOI: 10.14740/cr651w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2017] [Accepted: 01/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital cardiac defect, accounting for 1.5-3% of cases of congenital heart disease. With prenatal ultrasonography, the majority of these patients are diagnosed in utero with definitive surgery performed during the neonatal period. However, as prenatal screening may not be available in developing countries, patients may present in later infancy. We present successful surgical repair of a 6-month-old infant with TAPVR who presented for medical care at 5 months of age in Lima, Peru. The late presentation of such infants and the limited resources available for the treatment of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance may impact successful surgical correction of such defects. The perioperative care of such infants in developing countries is discussed and strategies for managing postoperative pulmonary hypertension is reviewed.

Long-Term Transplant-Free Survival After Repair of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection. Ann Thorac Surg 2017; 105:186-192. [PMID: 28847536 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2017.05.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2017] [Revised: 05/01/2017] [Accepted: 05/15/2017] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term survival, risk of transplantation, and causes of death after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) remain unknown. By linking the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium with the National Death Index and the United Network for Organ Sharing, we evaluated long-term transplant-free survival in children undergoing repair of TAPVC. METHODS We identified 777 infants within the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium who underwent TAPVC repair (median 21 days; interquartile range, 5 to 80) and had sufficient personal identifiers for linkage with the National Death Index and United Network for Organ Sharing. Sixty-six deaths, ten cardiac transplantations, and one bilateral lung transplantation had occurred by the end of 2014. Data collected included age and weight at time of procedure, TAPVC type, associated cardiac lesions, and postoperative length of stay. The study cohort was divided into simple and complex TAPVC based on the presence of an associated cardiac lesion. Parametric survival plots were constructed, and risk factor analyses were performed to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with long-term outcomes. RESULTS Mortality or need for transplantation was 9.7% with a median follow-up of 18.4 years and a median age of death or transplant of 0.74 years. The risk of mortality and transplant after TAPVC repair was highest during the first 18 months after hospital discharge. Cardiac causes accounted for the majority of deaths. Multivariate regression models for transplant-free survival demonstrated that complex TAPVC, mixed TAPVC, and postoperative length of stay were associated with increased risk of death/transplant. CONCLUSIONS Transplant-free survival after TAPVC repair is excellent, with most deaths or transplant events occurring early. Factors associated with the worst long-term outcomes included complex TAPVC, mixed TAPVC, and prolonged postoperative length of stay.

Abstract
Background The small size of the pulmonary veins in infants increases the risk of pulmonary vein obstruction (PVO) after surgical repair of type IV total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Here, we described the outcomes of our strategy, which delayed total correction after initial partial correction. Methods We reviewed the data of patients who underwent total correction for type IV TAPVC. In total, 11 out of 103 patients with TAPVC had type IV TAPVC with biventricular physiology. Of these 11 patients, we retrospectively reviewed the data of 7 patients who underwent two-stage correction. Major pulmonary venous confluent chambers, with the exception of the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV), were initially anastomosed to the left atrium (LA), followed by anastomosis between the LSPV and the LA auricle. Results The median weight, age, and LSPV size were 4.3 kg (range, 3.5–5.4 kg), 40 days (range, 20–103 days), and 4.5 mm (range, 3.0–5.4 mm), respectively, during the first operation and 12.2 kg (range, 8.5–31.5 kg), 1,165 days (range, 280–3,250 days), and 9.8 mm (range, 8.0–12.3 mm), respectively, during the second operation. The median Qp/Qs was 1.61 (range, 1.22–1.65) and the median cardiothoracic ratio was 0.52 (range, 0.49–0.57) at second operation. The median interval between the operations was 1,094 days (range, 196–3,226 days). The median follow-up period was 22 month (range, 7–59 month). No mortality or major morbidities occurred after either operation. The median Vmax at the LSPV anastomosis site was 1.0 m/s (range, 0.8–1.3 m/s) on predischarge echocardiography. This patency was maintained at the last follow-up, showing an identical median Vmax of 1.0 m/s (range, 0.8–1.3 m/s). All 7 patients who underwent two-stage correction were in good condition, without any clinical symptoms of PVO. Conclusions Our results suggest that leaving the isolated LSPV uncorrected during infancy and performing a second operation when the LSPV has grown adequately is a viable treatment option for patients with type IV TAPVC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection can be problematic, particularly those with mixed-type pathology. We aimed to describe a cohort of patients with mixed-type anomalous drainage, highlighting the treatment challenges, and identifying risk factors for poor outcome. METHODS We reviewed the clinical records of patients who underwent repair for mixed-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection between 1986 and 2015. RESULTS A total of 19 patients were identified. The median age and weight of patients at surgery were 18 days (with a range from 1 to 185) and 3.4 kg (with a range from 1.9 to 6.5), respectively. Venous anatomy included a combination of duplicate supracardiac (four), supracardiac and cardiac (11), and supracardiac and infracardiac (four) drainage. Out of 19 patients, six (32%) died within 30 days or the initial hospital stay; two additional patients died from progressive pulmonary vein stenosis at 72 and 201 days, respectively, resulting in 42% mortality within the 1st year. Follow-up data were available for 8/11 long-term survivors. The median follow-up period was 7.3 years (with a range from 1.8 to 15.7). Only one patient underwent re-intervention for recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis. For surgical mortality, no statistically significant risk factors were identified, although the risk trended to be higher (p⩽0.1) with lower age and weight, an infracardiac component, and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass. For 1-year mortality, the risk became significant (p⩽0.05) with a lower weight (p=0.01), an infracardiac component (p=0.03), and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (p=0.04). CONCLUSION The surgical and 1-year mortality in patients with mixed-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is high. On the other hand, among patients who survive past the 1st year, most have good outcomes without subsequent sequelae.

Abstract
Background: Mortality associated with correction of type IV total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is generally reported in combination with other anatomic types. The objective of this study is to review surgical outcomes associated with the repair of type IV TAPVC by analyzing a multi-institutional cohort specific for this group. We also analyze patient-specific variables that may contribute to poor operative outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review of the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium (PCCC) registry identified patients who underwent repair of type IV TAPVC between 1982 and 2007. Variables reviewed included gender, prematurity, age at repair, anatomic pattern, presence of obstruction, associated anomalies, and operative mortality. Subclassifications were defined as type IV A (2+2 pattern), type IV B (3+1 pattern), and type IV C (bizarre). Results: Of the 2,248 patients with the diagnosis of TAPVC, 215 belonged to type IV. For type IV, the overall unadjusted mortality was 26%. There was no difference in mortality based on the particular anatomic drainage pattern. Twenty-eight percent had partial obstruction of the pulmonary venous return, with no patient having complete obstruction. Patients with obstruction had a significantly greater mortality than those without obstruction (39% vs 20%, P = .005). Approximately 16% of patients who present with obstruction of some pulmonary vein(s) underwent an emergency repair. Conclusion: Type IV TAPVC is a rare disease with a diverse anatomic presentation. Even though a small number of the patients with obstruction underwent emergent repair, mortality remained significant. This likely represents the intrinsic lung pathology that must be considered in the postoperative period.

Abstract
Background:
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare form of congenital heart disease. This study describes current surgical treatment strategies and experiences in a cohort of patients from 2 congenital cardiac centers in Shanghai and Guangdong in China.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 768 patients operated on between 2005 and 2014. Although most patients (n=690) underwent conventional repair, a sutureless technique was used in 10% (n=78) of cases. A multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival model and a competing-risk analysis were used to analyze associated risk factors for death and recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO), respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the overall survival. The Nelson-Aalen cumulative risk curve was used to compare distributions of time with recurrent PVO.
Results:
The mean surgical age and weight were 214.9±39.2 days and 5.4±3.6 kg, respectively. Obstructed TAPVC (PVO) was documented in 192 (25%) of the 768 patients. There were 38 intraoperative deaths and 13 late deaths. A younger age at the time of repair (
P
=0.001), mixed (
P
=0.004) and infracardiac (
P
=0.035) TAPVC, preoperative PVO (
P
=0.027), prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (
P
<0.001), and longer duration of ventilation (
P
=0.028) were associated with mortality. The median follow-up was 23.2 months (range; 1–112 months). Among the 717 survivors, recurrent PVO was observed in 111 patients (15%). Associated risk factors for recurrent PVO included preoperative PVO (
P
<0.001), infracardiac TAPVC (
P
<0.001), mixed TAPVC (
P
=0.013), and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (
P
<0.001). Sutureless technique was associated with a lower restenosis rate compared with conventional repair in patients with preoperative PVO (
P
=0.038), except in newborn patients (
P
=0.443). Reintervention for restenosis was performed in 24 patients. The function of most survivors (91%) was classified according to the New York Heart Association as functional class I or II.
Conclusions:
Surgical correction in patients with TAPVC with a biventricular anatomy can achieve an acceptable outcome. Risk factors such as a younger age at the time of repair, infracardiac and mixed TAPVC, and preoperative PVO were associated with a poorer prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to study the anatomical types of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), the associated cardiac and extracardiac congenital malformations, clinical manifestations, and postoperative evolution.
Materials and methods: Twenty-four patients with a mean age of 125 days, admitted to the Clinic of Pediatric Cardiology III between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2015 and diagnosed with TAPVC were included in the study. The patients were evaluated clinically, electrocardiographically and echocardiographically, both pre- and postoperatively. Postoperative evolution was monitored at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.
Results: The anatomical types of TAPVC were: supracardiac in 50% of cases (12 patients), cardiac in 37.5% (9 patients) and mixed type in 12.5% of cases (3 patients). The first clinical manifestation was cyanosis in 72.2% of cases. Surgical correction was performed at a mean age of 37 days in obstructive forms, and 254 days in non-obstructive forms. From the study lot, 8.4% of patients had associated extracardiac malformations (anorectal agenesis and Ivemark syndrome). Early postoperative complications included pulmonary hypertension crisis (60% of cases), supraventricular arrhythmias (35% of cases) and chylothorax (8.4% of cases). Late postoperative complications included: reintervention in 8% of patients with mixed type TAPVC.
Conclusions: The most frequently encountered type was supracardiac TAPVC, which had a favorable postoperative evolution. Mixed type TAPVC had the highest rate of reintervention.

Abstract
A 1.7 kg infant with obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) presented with severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to vertical vein obstruction. The child, in addition, had a large omphalocele that was being managed conservatively. The combination of low weight, unoperated omphalocele, and severe pulmonary hypertension made corrective cardiac surgery very high-risk. Therefore, transcatheter stenting of the stenotic vertical vein, as a bridge to corrective surgery was carried out. The procedure was carried out through the right internal jugular vein (RIJ). The stenotic segment of the vertical vein was stented using a coronary stent. After procedure, the child was discharged well to the referred hospital for weight gain and spontaneous epithelialization of the omphalocele. Stenting of the vertical vein through the internal jugular vein can be considered in very small neonates as a bridge to repair obstructed supracardiac total anomalous venous drainage.

Positional Relationship Between the Pulmonary Venous Confluence-Vertical Vein and Atria in Infracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection. Pediatr Cardiol 2016; 37:372-7. [PMID: 26481116 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-015-1286-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2015] [Accepted: 10/09/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
To explore the positional relationship between the pulmonary venous confluence-venous vein (PVC-VV) and both the atria in infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (iTAPVC), using two-dimensional (2D) computerized tomography (CT) reconstruction. Through the 2D reconstruction of enhanced cardiac CT images of patients with iTAPVC, the projection of PVC-VV on coronal axial images was acquired and its location on the bilateral atrial splice was analyzed. Sagittal axial reconstruction was used to identify which atrium had a precise anterior-posterior positional relationship with PVC-VV. The type of iTAPVC, where the projection of PVC-VV was lying on the left atrium, and the left atrium had a precise anterior-posterior positional relationship with PVC-VV, was classified as the left atrial type. If the projection of PVC-VV was lying on the right atrium and the right atrium had a precise anterior-posterior positional relationship with PVC-VV, it was classified as the right atrial type. Finally, if the projection of PVC-VV was lying in the middle of the bilateral atria, and both the atria had precise anterior-posterior positional relationship with PVC-VV, it was referred to as the bilateral atrial type. Upon analysis of the 22 enhanced cardiac CT images, 6 were the left atrial type (27.27 %), 9 were right atrial type (40.91 %), while 7 were of the bilateral atrial type (31.82 %). The positional relationship between PVC-VV and the bilateral atria are variable, and iTAPVC classification using 2D CT reconstruction is an invaluable tool in designing the surgical approaches in iTAPVC.

Abstract
The association of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with ventricular septal defect and aortic coarctation is rare. A premature neonate weighing 1350 g was diagnosed with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, aortic coarctation, and a perimembranous ventricular septal defect. On postnatal day 23, we performed emergency extended aortic arch anastomosis under total circulatory arrest, pulmonary venous connection repair using a primary sutureless technique, and patch closure of the atrial septal and perimembranous ventricular septal defects. The patient was discharged without complications. Postoperative echocardiography showed no residual coarctation or pulmonary venous obstruction and revealed small muscular ventricular septal defects.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is associated with diverse cardiac, pulmonary, and systemic diseases in neonates, infants, and older children and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. However, current approaches to caring for pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension have been limited by the lack of consensus guidelines from experts in the field. In a joint effort from the American Heart Association and American Thoracic Society, a panel of experienced clinicians and clinician-scientists was assembled to review the current literature and to make recommendations on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of pediatric pulmonary hypertension. This publication presents the results of extensive literature reviews, discussions, and formal scoring of recommendations for the care of children with pulmonary hypertension.

Contemporary Outcomes of Surgical Repair of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection in Patients With Heterotaxy Syndrome. Ann Thorac Surg 2015; 99:2134-9; discussion 2139-40. [PMID: 25912749 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2015.02.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2014] [Revised: 02/04/2015] [Accepted: 02/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is prevalent in patients with atriovisceral heterotaxy. Although functionally univentricular heart defects are common in heterotaxy syndromes, the extent to which this association influences overall risk for TAPVC repair is undefined. This study examines multiinstitutional experience with TAPVC repair in infants with heterotaxy using a national clinical registry. METHODS The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database (STS-CHSD) (2002-2012) was queried for patients with heterotaxy syndrome who underwent TAPVC repair, with or without concomitant procedures at age of 90 days or younger. The cohort was divided into single ventricle (SV) and non-single ventricle (non-SV) groups based on STS-CHSD codes. Patient characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were described. RESULTS Sixty-five centers reported 261 TAPVC repair operations (females, 115 [44%]; median [interquartile range] age and weight, 7 days [3-19 days] and 3.1 kg [2.7-3.5 kg]). Overall, 180 (69%) patients were identified with asplenia or right atrial isomerism, and 167 (64%) had SV diagnoses. Discharge mortality was 38%. Postoperatively, the median length of stay was 18 days (7-32 days), 20 (8%) patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, and 11 (4%) had reoperation for pulmonary vein stenosis. Mortality was higher for patients with SV defects (SV, 43% versus non-SV, 30%; p = 0.03). Length of stay, postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and reoperation for pulmonary vein stenosis was similar between SV and non-SV groups. Overall, there was no difference in mortality for patients undergoing concomitant systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt (p = 0.134) or surgery within 48 hours of birth (p = 0.876). CONCLUSIONS Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair in heterotaxy patients carries a high mortality risk, particularly with functionally univentricular physiology. These multiinstitutional data serve as an important benchmark and may be useful for risk stratification and counseling.

Abstract
With improvements in surgical and medical management, patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are often living well into adulthood. MRI provides critical data for diagnosis and monitoring of these patients, yielding information on cardiac anatomy, blood flow, and cardiac function. Though historically these exams have been complex and lengthy, four-dimensional (4D) flow is emerging as a single fast technique for comprehensive assessment of CHD. The 4D flow consists of a volumetric time-resolved acquisition that is gated to the cardiac cycle, providing a time-varying vector field of blood flow as well as registered anatomic images. In this article, we provide an overview of MRI evaluation of congenital heart disease by means of example of three relatively common representative conditions: tetralogy of Fallot, aortic coarctation, and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Then 4D flow data acquisition, data correction, and postprocessing techniques are reviewed. We conclude with several examples that highlight the comprehensive nature of the evaluation of congenital heart disease with 4D flow.

Abstract
Most cardiac diseases in the newborn are caused by structural abnormalities developed in utero. With few exceptions, palliative and definitive treatments require cardiac surgery. The diagnosis and management decisions regarding uncomplicated lesions, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and tetralogy of Fallot, can be accomplished by echocardiography alone. Abnormalities beyond the sonographic window, complex 3-dimensional lesions, and detailed functional information require additional imaging. In the past, this was fulfilled by catheter angiography, but today much of the information can be obtained from noninvasive computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging. This article discusses the design and application of these imaging techniques to the newborn, with emphasis on safety, efficacy, and image quality. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of these techniques is crucial for making rational choices among imaging options based on sound risk and benefit considerations. Important examples of congenital heart lesions have been illustrated with 3-dimensional reconstruction from computed tomography and magnetic resonance images.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine neurocognitive outcomes 4.5 years after surgery for TAPVC in infancy and predictors of these outcomes. A cohort having TAPVC repair at age ≤6 weeks between 1998 and 2007 were followed by the Complex Pediatric Therapies Follow-up Program at 4.5 years. Outcomes include mortality, full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ), verbal IQ (VIQ), performance IQ (PIQ), visual motor integration (VMI), and general adaptive composite of the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (GAC). There were 51 infants with simple TAPVC [4 year mortality 4 (8%)], and 16 with complex TAPVC [4 year mortality 7 (44%)], hazard ratio (HR) 7.02 (95% CI 2.05-24.07, p = 0.002). Of the 47 survivors after simple TAPVC, FSIQ (SD) was 92 (17), VIQ 92 (17), PIQ 94 (15), VMI 92 (15), and GAC 92 (15). Independent predictors of neurocognitive outcome included father's socioeconomic status, mother's years of schooling, gender, post-operative base deficit, and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) time. Complex TAPVC was associated on univariate analysis only with PIQ [81.9 (10.2) vs. 93.6 (15.4); p = 0.012] and FSIQ [80.7 (10.1) vs. 92.0 (17.7); p = 0.017]. Original peoples accounted for 25/51 (49%) of simple and 3/16 (19%) of complex TAPVC. Original peoples race was associated with 4-year mortality [HR 6.85 (95% CI 2.15, 21.76, p = 0.001)]. Survivors of TAPVC repair in early infancy have encouraging neurocognitive outcomes. Few independent predictors of neurocognitive outcome were found, with post-operative acidosis and DHCA time being potentially modifiable. Original peoples account for an unexpected proportion of patients (42%) and have a higher mortality.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to review the surgical outcomes of conventional repair in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Between 1999 and 2012, 46 patients underwent conventional TAPVC repair; of those, 14 required emergent surgery within the first 24 h after their birth for coexisting intrinsic obstruction in pulmonary venous drainage pathway (Group 1). The remaining 32 were operated on after the first day of life and were divided into two groups: with (Group 2, n = 10) and without (Group 3, n = 22) subsequently progressed pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) after birth. A follow-up was completed on all patients, and the mean follow-up period was 7 ± 4 years (range 0.9-14). Group 1 required a significantly prolonged nitric oxide inhalation (12 ± 11 days) and mechanical ventilation support (29 ± 36 days) compared to Group 2 and Group 3. The actuarial survival rate at 10 years was 69% in Group 1, 88% in Group 2, and 96% in Group 3 (Group 1 vs. Group 3: p = 0.05). Freedom from postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis at 10 years was 39% in Group 1, 70% in Group 2, and 86% in Group 3 (Group 1 vs. Group 3: p = 0.002). However, all the ten survivors in Group 1 showed an NYHA functional status of I or II, and 60% of survivors were free from medication. Outcomes of patients with TAPVC requiring surgical repair at the day of birth for coexisting intrinsic PVO were still dismal; however, the acceptable status of current survivors has encouraged us to treat this challenging group surgically.
