Abstract
OBJECTIVE The safety of early post-operative cardiac catheterisation has been described following congenital heart surgery. Optimal timing of early post-operative cardiac catheterisation remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to describe the safety of early post-operative cardiac catheterisation and its impact on cardiac ICU and hospital length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal support. METHODS This single-centre retrospective cohort study compared clinical and outcome variables between "early" early post-operative cardiac catheterisation (less than 72 hours after surgery) and "late" early post-operative cardiac catheterisation (greater than 72 hours after surgery) groups using Chi-squared, Student's t, and log-rank test (or appropriate nonparametric test). RESULTS In total, 132 patients were included, 22 (16.7%) "early" early post-operative cardiac catheterisation, and 110 (83.3%) "late" early post-operative cardiac catheterisation. Interventions were performed in 63 patients (51.5%), 7 (11.1%) early and 56 (88.9%) late. Complications of catheterisation occurred in seven (5.3%) patients, two early and five late. There were no major complications. Patients in the late group trended towards a longer stay in the cardiac ICU (19 days [7, 62] versus 11.5 days [7.2, 31.5], p = 0.6) and in the hospital (26 days [9.2, 68] versus 19 days [13.2, 41.8], p = 0.8) compared to the earlier group. CONCLUSION "Early" early post-operative cardiac catheterisation was associated with an overall low rate of complications. Earlier catheterisations trended towards shorter cardiac ICU and hospital length of stays. Earlier catheterisations may lead to earlier recovery for patients not following an expected post-operative course.

Abstract
Safety and acute outcomes for patients who need catheterization shortly after congenital cardiac surgery has been established; literature on mid-term outcomes is lacking. We sought to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of patients who undergo early postoperative cardiac catheterization. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cardiac catheterization within 6 weeks of congenital cardiac surgery with longitudinal follow-up and assessment of mid-term outcomes. Multivariable analysis was utilized to relate variables of interest to outcomes. 99 patients underwent cardiac catheterizations within 6 weeks of cardiac surgery between January 2008 and September 2016. Forty-six (45.5%) interventional procedures were performed at a median age of 41 days (IQR 21-192) and a median weight of 3.9 kg (3.3-6.6). During a median follow-up duration of 4.24 years (1.6-5.6) in study survivors, 61% of patients remained free from the primary endpoint (death and/or transplant). Sixty-nine patients (69.7%) underwent an unplanned surgical or catheter procedure. Renal failure at catheterization (OR 280.5, p 0.0199), inotropic medication at catheterization (OR 14.8, p 0.002), and younger age were all significantly associated with meeting the primary endpoint. Patients requiring surgical intervention as an initial additional intervention underwent more unplanned re-interventions, while patients who survived to hospital discharge demonstrated favorable mortality, though with frequent need for re-intervention. In patients requiring early postoperative cardiac catheterization, renal failure, younger age, and need for inotropic support at catheterization are significantly associated with meeting the primary endpoint.

Early Postoperative Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Outcomes: A Multicenter Study. Ann Thorac Surg 2022:S0003-4975(22)01528-4. [PMID: 36481325 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.11.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early postoperative catheterizations (EPOCs) within 6 weeks after a congenital heart surgical procedure can treat residual lesions and provide important clinical information. However, EPOCs are often assumed to impose additional risk on a vulnerable patient population. This study aimed to describe the EPOC population, evaluate procedural safety, compare EPOC patients with procedure-matched non-EPOC patients, and determine risk factors for poor outcomes using data from the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes registry. METHODS In a retrospective cohort, demographic, clinical, and procedural characteristics were analyzed for diagnostic and interventional catheterizations performed in 13 participating institutions from January 2014 to December 2017, excluding patients after heart transplant. The primary outcome was a high-severity adverse event (AE). Three distinct analyses included (1) describing the full cohort and EPOC patients, (2) comparing EPOC patients with and without a high-severity AE, and (3) comparing EPOC patients with controls matched on case type. RESULTS This study included 17,776 catheterizations, with 1399 EPOCs. The high-severity AE rate was 6.4% overall, 8.9% in the EPOC cohort, and 8.4% in matched controls (P = .74). The association between EPOC status and high-severity AE was not significant in a multivariable model (P = .17). In EPOCs with a high-severity AE, median procedure duration was 30 minutes longer (P < .001), and median time from surgical procedure to catheterization was 3 days longer (P = .05). CONCLUSIONS EPOC was not associated with additional risk. Individual patient characteristics of size and hemodynamic vulnerability may serve as informative predictors. Timely catheterization may preempt further clinical deterioration, and intraprocedure duration optimization may correlate with improved outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess balloon angioplasty (BAP) and stent implantation (SI) procedures early after congenital heart surgery (CHS) in children. BACKGROUND These interventions are considered potential high-risk procedures and often avoided or postponed. METHODS This is a retrospective, single centre study of all BAP and SI procedures within 30 days after CHS (01/2001 until 01/2021). RESULTS A total of 127 (96 SI, 31 BAP) procedures were performed in 104 patients at median 6.5 days (interquartile range: 1-15) after CHS. Balloon-to-stenosis ratio and balloon-to-reference vessel ratio were significantly smaller compared to stent-to-stenosis ratio and stent-to-reference vessel ratio (p < .001 and p = .005). There was a greater rise in absolute vessel diameter, greater rise in vessel diameter in relation to the stenosis and vessel diameter in relation to the reference vessel with SI (p < .001, p = .01, and p < .001). Up to 94% SIs fulfilled both success criteria (increase of vessel diameter ≥50% of minimal vessel diameter or achievement ≥75% of the reference vessel diameter). Major adverse events were more frequent in the BAP group (p = .05). Intraprocedural complications were 5/31 (16%) in the BAP group and 13/96 (13%) in the SI group (p = .77). CONCLUSION BAP and SI procedures within 30 days post-CHS can be performed safely, with a greater stent-to-stenosis ratio and a greater rise in vessel diameter with stent implantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our goal was to evaluate the indications for postoperative cardiac catheterizations after paediatric cardiac surgeries and their impact on outcomes. METHODS Non-planned cardiac catheterizations performed after congenital heart surgeries and before discharge between January 2013 and July 2019 were reviewed. Hybrid procedures were excluded. Heart defects, illness course, surgeries and catheter procedures were classified. Indications and findings were comprehensively regrouped. Outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Cardiac catheterizations were performed on 192 patients (median age 2.3 months, weight 4.2 kg) on median postoperative day 7 (interquartile range, 2-17 days). Patients had defects of great complexity (79.9%), high disease severity index (46.4%), high Aristotle level of surgical complexity (75%) and a high Catheterization RISk Score for Pediatrics category of catheterizations (61%). Catheterizations confirmed 66% of suspected diagnoses. Confirmed diagnoses were more likely to be haemodynamic anomalies than anatomical lesions (81.3% > 53.7%, P < 0.001). Confirmed anatomical lesions were more likely to be residual than new lesions created by surgery (88.5% > 40.4%, P < 0.001). New diagnoses were identified in 36.5% of patients. Catheterization findings led to catheter-based or surgical interventions in 120 (62.5%) patients. Transcatheter interventions were successful (97.7%), immediate (89.5%) and performed across fresh suture lines (27.8%). Repeat catheterizations (76% interventional) were necessary in 25 (13%) patients. A high index of disease severity [odds ratio (OR): 16.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.72-71.17], extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (OR: 10.35, 95% CI: 2.78-38.56), delayed sternal closure (OR: 4.66, 95% CI: 1.25-17.32) and surgically acquired lesions (OR: 3.70, 95% CI: 1.22-11.16) were significant risk factors of 12-month mortality. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative cardiac catheterizations answer both anatomical and haemodynamic questions in high-risk patients with complicated courses and guide subsequent treatment with satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract
Objetivo: La coartación de la aorta puede ser tratada quirúrgicamente o con angioplastia con balón. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue describir los resultados postangioplastia percutánea con balón con o sin implantación de stent para coartación de la aorta y establecer la incidencia de recoartación en el seguimiento. Método: Estudio de cohorte, se incluyeron pacientes de cualquier edad en un periodo de seguimiento de nueve años. Resultados: Se incluyeron 89 pacientes, un 69.0% hombres. La media de seguimiento para todos los participantes fue de 33.66 meses. Al 32.5% se les implantó un stent en angioplastia; de los cuales el 24.1% se recoartaron durante el seguimiento. En el grupo sin stent se recoartaron un 36.6%. No hubo diferencia significativa en las curvas de supervivencia de los dos grupos (p = 0.889). Conclusiones: La implantación de stent durante la angioplastia con balón para tratar coartación de aorta no influyó en la incidencia de recoartación de la aorta; pero factores como la hipertensión arterial preangioplastia y el gradiente final de angioplastia > 20 mmHg se asoció con recoartación de la aorta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac catheterization after congenital heart surgery may play an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with a complicated or unusual post-operative course. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcome of cardiac catheterization performed in the early post-operative period following congenital heart surgery. All patients who underwent cardiac catheterization after congenital heart surgery during the same admission of cardiac surgery from November 2015 to May 2018 were included in the study. RESULTS Thirty procedures were performed for 27 patients (20 interventional and 10 diagnostic). The median age of the patients was 15 months (15 days to 20 years), median weight was 8.2 kg (3.4 to 53 kg), and median time from surgery was 3 days (0-32 days). Eleven procedures were performed for 11 patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The main indications for catheterization included the inability to wean from ECMO (10 procedures) and cyanosis (10 procedures). Interventional procedures included angioplasty using stents (10 procedures, success rate of 90%), angioplasty using only balloons (2 procedures, success rate of 50%), and occlusion for residual shunts (8 procedures, success rate of 100%). No mortality was recorded during any procedure. Vasoactive-inotropic score had significantly decreased 48 h after catheterization when compared to pre-catheterization scores (p = 0.0001). Moreover, 72% of patients connected to ECMO support were successfully weaned from ECMO after catheterization. Procedural complications were recorded in 3 interventional procedures. Survival to hospital discharge was 55.5% and overall survival was 52%. Patients on ECMO support had a higher mortality than other patients. CONCLUSION Cardiac catheterization can be performed safely in the early post-operative period, and it could improve the outcome of the patient (depending on the complexity of the cardiac lesions involved).

Abstract
Background Postoperative transcatheter interventions (TCIs) are performed after congenital heart surgery to treat residual or recurrent anatomic lesions. We used the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database to evaluate rates of postoperative TCIs, center variability, and to determine whether center approaches to postoperative TCI might be associated with outcomes. Methods and Results Patients <18 years undergoing an index operation (2010-2016) were included. We determined predischarge postoperative TCI rates and used multivariable modeling, adjusting for patient factors and case complexity, to evaluate the association between center risk-adjusted postoperative TCI rates and risk-adjusted outcomes (operative mortality, post-TCI mortality, and failure-to-rescue). Postoperative TCI was performed after 2615/105 742 (2.5%) index operations and after 1443/25 416 (5.7%) highest complexity operations (STAT [Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Mortality Score] Mortality Category 4 and 5). Median (interquartile range) age of patients undergoing TCI was 2.7 (0.2-8.0) months with 43% performed in neonates. There was a wide center variability across the 107 included centers with risk-adjusted rates of postoperative TCI ranging from 0.0% to 8.0% overall and 0.0% to 20.7% for STAT 4 and 5 cases. Postoperative TCI was associated with higher risk-adjusted odds of operative mortality (odds ratio, 4.06; 95% CI, 3.60-4.58). Centers with higher postoperative TCI rates had higher overall operative mortality ( R2=0.23; P=0.02) but did not have higher post-TCI mortality ( P=0.10). There was no correlation between center TCI rates and failure-to-rescue ( P=0.19). Conclusions Patients undergoing postoperative TCI represent a high-risk cohort. Wide center variability suggests the potential for improving outcomes, but further study is necessary to better understand optimal approaches.

Abstract
Echocardiography was used for bedside vasodilator testing in postoperative PH. Echocardiographic measures of PH and RV function improved shortly after nitric oxide. Echocardiography was used to guide management and avoid more invasive testing.

Catheterization Performed in the Early Postoperative Period After Congenital Heart Surgery in Children. Pediatr Cardiol 2019; 40:827-833. [PMID: 30830282 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-019-02078-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 02/23/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe pediatric patients who underwent early postoperative cardiac catheterization after congenital heart surgery, their clinical indications, findings, interventions, and complications in a cardiovascular center. A descriptive retrospective study was performed. All catheterizations performed within 6 weeks after congenital heart surgery between January 2004 and December 2014 were reviewed. We analyzed 101 early postoperative catheterizations. They were performed on median postoperative day five (IQR: 0-39); the median age was 64 days (IQR: 22-240). The most common diagnoses were single ventricle (53%), left heart obstruction (12%), and tetralogy of fallot or pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (11%). Most common indications were persistent cyanosis (53%), low cardiac output (24%), and residual defect on echocardiogram (20%). Most frequent findings during the catheterization were pulmonary artery stenosis (29%), surgical conduit obstruction (12%), and coarctation or hypoplasia of the aorta (11%). Forty-six (45%) procedures involved intervention. Most frequent interventions were pulmonary artery, aorta, and Blalock-Taussig fistula angioplasty with or without stent implantation. There were adverse effects in 11 cases (11%), and 30-day mortality was 28% (28 patients) with the majority unrelated to the catheterization directly. Although early postoperative catheterizations are high-risk procedures, they are currently a very good option to solve acute problems in critically ill patients. This study provides relevant information for a better understanding and approach to this complex group of patients.

Pediatr Cardiol 2018; 39:674-681.

Abstract
Catheter-based interventions in the early post-operative period are performed with caution due to concerns for increased procedural risk, particularly across fresh suture lines. The recently published CRISP scoring system provides prospective risk stratification based on pre-procedural criterion. In an effort to refine the assessment of risk in patients undergoing post-operative catheter-based interventions, the predicted risk of an adverse event based on CRISP scores was compared to actual adverse event rates. A single-center, retrospective review of patients undergoing catheterization interventions within 6 weeks of cardiac surgery was conducted between Jan 2004 and Dec 2014. Patients who underwent dilation interventions across fresh suture lines (group 1) were compared to patients who underwent interventional procedures at other sites (group 2), and a CRISP score was calculated for all patients. Patients receiving only surveillance biopsies were excluded. Sixty-eight patients underwent 100 interventional procedures. Group 1 was composed of 44 patients receiving 64 interventions, while group 2 had 24 patients who underwent 36 interventions. Group 1 was comprised significantly more single ventricles and patients were smaller/younger. Group 1 had a significantly higher median CRISP score, but both groups were within Category 4. The rates of adverse events were similar between groups and comparable to predicted rates with the CRISP scoring system. Catheter-based interventions in the early post-operative period can be performed with no significant increase in the risk of serious adverse events when intervening across fresh suture lines. The CRISP scoring system can be a valuable tool in pre-procedural counseling of high-risk post-operative patients.

Abstract
In this report, we describe a 15-year-old patient who underwent a Ross procedure for a regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic dilation. After the operation was over, he could not be separated from cardiopulmonary bypass and was noted to have isolated right ventricular failure. This report takes the reader through the diagnostic evaluation, highlights the importance of invasive assessment in the immediate postoperative period, and discusses successful transcatheter intervention in the acute postoperative setting.
