Wang B, Verrocchi J, Liew D, Zentner D. Does Down syndrome influence the outcomes of congenital cardiac surgery? A systematic review and meta-analysis. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES 2023; 9:240-248. [PMID: 35612980 DOI: 10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital cardiac surgery for individuals with Down syndrome (DS) has historically occurred at a reduced frequency. Little data are available regarding long-term post-congenital cardiac surgical outcomes. Limited sample sizes and clinical heterogeneity require a pooled analysis approach. AIMS To compare long-term outcomes post-congenital heart surgery between adults with and without DS. METHODS Databases (Medline, Embase, and PubMed) were searched utilizing terms related to DS and congenital heart disease.Studies that enrolled adults (>18 years) with operated congenital heart disease and compared long-term outcomes with respect to DS presence were included. All study designs were included, but those with limited/peri-operative follow-up, non-English texts, case studies, and literature reviews were excluded.Blinded screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were independently conducted by two reviewers. QUIPS criteria were used for risk of bias analysis. Both random- and fixed-effects models were used for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 23 studies (n = 10 466) were included. Risk of bias was frequently high due to unblinded retrospective study designs and analyses limited in adjustment for other prognostic factors.Meta-analysis demonstrated no effect of DS on long-term mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 0.86, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.6-1.23], to a maximum described follow-up of 38 years. Lower cardiac reoperation risk (HR 0.6, 95% CI 0.46-0.78) for individuals with DS was found on pooled analysis. Meta-analysis was limited by between-study variation. CONCLUSION DS does not affect post-congenital cardiac surgical survival in adulthood. Reduced reoperation may reflect challenges in assessing functional and symptomatic status and/or concerns regarding perceived reoperation difficulties or likely benefits.

Left Atrioventricular Transvalvular Pressure Gradients Derived from Intraoperative and Postoperative Echocardiograms following Atrioventricular Septal Defect Repair. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13050957. [PMID: 36900100 PMCID: PMC10001237 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13050957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) stenosis following an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. While echocardiographic quantification of diastolic transvalvular pressure gradients is paramount in the evaluation of a newly corrected valve function, it is hypothesized that these measured gradients are overestimated immediately following a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to the altered hemodynamics when compared to postoperative valve assessments using awake transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) upon recovery after surgery. METHODS Out of the 72 patients screened for inclusion at a tertiary center, 39 patients undergoing an AVSD repair with both intraoperative transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE, performed immediately after a CPB) and an awake TTE (performed prior to hospital discharge) were retrospectively selected. The mean (MPGs) and peak pressure gradients (PPGs) were quantified using a Doppler echocardiography and other measures of interest were recorded (e.g., a non-invasive surrogate of the cardiac output and index (CI), left ventricular ejection fraction, blood pressures and airway pressures). The variables were analyzed using the paired Student's t-tests and Spearman's correlation coefficients. RESULTS The MPGs were significantly higher in the intraoperative measurements when compared to the awake TTE (3.0 ± 1.2 vs. 2.3 ± 1.1 mmHg; p < 0.01); however, the PPGs did not significantly differ (6.6 ± 2.7 vs. 5.7 ± 2.8 mmHg; p = 0.06). Although the assessed intraoperative heart rates (HRs) were also higher (132 ± 17 vs. 114 ± 21 bpm; p < 0.001), there was no correlation found between the MPG and the HR, or any other parameter of interest, at either time-point. In a further analysis, a moderate to strong correlation was observed in the linear relationship between the CI and the MPG (r = 0.60; p < 0.001). During the in-hospital follow-up period, no patients died or required an intervention due to LAVV stenosis. CONCLUSIONS The Doppler-based quantification of diastolic transvalvular LAVV mean pressure gradients using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography seems to be prone to overestimation due to altered hemodynamics immediately after an AVSD repair. Thus, the current hemodynamic state should be taken into consideration during the intraoperative interpretation of these gradients.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023; 165:411-421. [PMID: 36115701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2022.07.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We compared 2-patch repair (TP) with modified single-patch repair (MSP) for complete atrioventricular septal defects and evaluated their effect on the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) competence. We also identified risk factors for unfavorable functional outcomes. METHODS This retrospective study included 118 patients with complete atrioventricular septal defects who underwent intracardiac repair from 1998 to 2020 (MSP: 69; TP: 49). The median follow-up period was 10.4 years. The functional outcome of freedom from moderate or greater LAVV regurgitation (LAVVR) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The hospital mortality was 1.7% (2/118) and late mortality was 0.8% (1/118). Eight patients required LAVV-related reoperation (MSP: 4; TP: 4) and none required left ventricular outflow tract-related reoperation. In the MSP group without LAVV anomaly, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the ventricular septal defect (VSD) depth was strongly associated with moderate or greater postoperative LAVVR, with the best cutoff at 10.9 mm. When stratified according to the combination of intracardiac repair type and VSD depth, the MSP-deep VSD (VSD depth >11 mm) group showed the worst LAVV competence among the 4 groups (P = .002). According to multivariate analysis, weight <4.0 kg, LAVV anomaly, and moderate or greater preoperative LAVVR were independent risk factors for moderate or greater postoperative LAVVR, whereas MSP was not a risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative LAVVR remains an obstacle to improved functional outcomes. MSP provides LAVV competence similar to TP unless deep VSD is present. The surgical approach should be selected on the basis of anatomical variations, specifically VSD depth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of partial and transitional atrioventricular septal defect repair, focusing on left atrioventricular valve reoperation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 104 children who underwent partial or transitional atrioventricular septal defect repair between August 1983 and January 2021. The major outcomes included patient survival and left atrioventricular valve reoperation. RESULTS Median age at repair was 4.0 (0.1-17.0) years, with 17 patients being infants (age ≤ 1 year; 16.3%). All but eight patients (92.3%) underwent left atrioventricular valve cleft closure. After initial repair, there were 18 cases of moderate-to-severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (17.3%). Three in-hospital deaths (2.9%) and four late deaths (3.8%) occurred. At follow-up (median 14.3 years), actuarial survival was 95.1% and 93.0% at 1 and 20 years, respectively, and 16 patients (15.4%) had undergone a total of 19 left atrioventricular valve reoperations. Initial repair performed during infancy was associated with significantly higher mortality than a repair performed after infancy (35.3% vs 1.5%, P < .01, hazard ratio = 26.4). On multivariable analysis, repair during infancy was associated with mortality (P < .01, hazard ratio = 27.4, 95% confidence interval = 2.7-283). Partial or no cleft closure of left atrioventricular valve (P = .03, hazard ratio = 4.7, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-18.8) and moderate-to-severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation after repair (P < .01, hazard ratio = 9.9, 95% confidence interval = 3.0-32.2) were associated with left atrioventricular valve reoperation. CONCLUSIONS Partial and transitional atrioventricular septal defect repair outcomes were generally satisfactory. However, repair during infancy had worse survival outcomes, and moderate-to-severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation after a repair was associated with future left atrioventricular valve reoperation.

Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate the total burden of reoperations after previous repair for atrioventricular septal defects, including long-term survival and identify risk factors for reoperation. All patients with surgical correction for atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) 1993- 2020 underwent a follow-up in October 2020. Clinical data were obtained by retrospective review and evaluated with Kaplan-Meier and competing risk analysis. Of 477 patients who underwent initial repair, 53 patients (11.1%) underwent a total of 82 reoperations. The perioperative mortality at reoperation was 3.8% (2/53). There were no late deaths (0/51) during follow-up. In patients requiring reoperation for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation, a re-repair was performed in 90% (26/29) at first attempt. Estimated overall survival was 96.2 ± 2.6% (95% CI 91.2-100) in the Any reoperation group and 96.7 ± 0.9% (95% CI 94.9-98.5) in the No reoperation group at 20 years (P = 0.80). The cumulative incidence function of Any reoperation (with death as competing risk) was 13.0% (95% CI 9.4-16.5) at 20 years. Independent risk factors for Any reoperation included severe mitral regurgitation after primary repair (HR 40.7; 95% CI 14.9-111; P < 0.001). The risk of perioperative mortality in AVSD patients undergoing reoperation was low in the present study. Long-term survival was very good and not significantly different when compared to patients who did not need reoperation. Re-repair for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation was possible in most cases and showed long-term durability. Our data suggest that reoperations after primary repair of AVSD have very good long-term outcomes when performed at a high-volume pediatric cardiac surgery center.

Abstract
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) increasingly are surviving into adulthood. In the United States alone, there are more than one million adult patients living with CHD with the number increasing about 5% each year. With more than 85% of infants with CHD surviving into adulthood with their disease, encounters with these patients in the operating room for cardiac and noncardiac operative procedures is becoming more commonplace. Most of these patients receive corrective surgery early in life, although some may live with uncorrected CHD with no-to-relatively mild symptoms and present at a later time in life with symptoms of heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. The authors present an adult patient with uncorrected CHD presenting with late onset of heart failure symptoms. The authors also review the patient's complex congenital heart lesion, transesophageal echocardiography findings, and intraoperative management.

Abstract
Management of atrioventricular septal defects has grown leaps and bounds since the first correction of this malformation. Main reasons considered for the improvement are good understanding of lesion anatomy, precise preoperative diagnosis including imaging, progress in surgical technique, myocardial protection, and post-operative care. In this article we review the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical features, associations, diagnosis, surgical therapy, complications, and results of atrioventricular septal defects.

Abstract
A 45-year-old woman with a partial atrioventricular canal presented with an iatrogenic interventricular shunt after implantation of a mechanical mitral prosthesis. The shunt was occluded percutaneously with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II. This is the first reported percutaneous closure of a ventricular septal defect in an atrioventricular canal defect. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
