Quantification of 3-Dimensional Confluence-Atrial Morphology in Supracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection. JACC. ASIA 2024; 4:594-606. [PMID: 39156514 PMCID: PMC11328765 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2024.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) continues to be a major complication after surgical repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Recent studies suggest that the morphology of pulmonary venous confluence and the left atrium (LA) is associated with PVS. However, there are limited data on the prognostic value of integrating quantitative confluence-atrial morphology into risk stratification. Objectives This study sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of novel imaging metrics derived from 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography angiography (CTA) modeling on postsurgical PVS (PPVS) in the supracardiac TAPVC (sTAPVC) setting. Methods Patients undergoing sTAPVC repair in 2017 to 2022 from 3 centers were retrospectively reviewed. Study investigators developed 3D CTA modeled geometric features to quantify confluence-atrial morphology that were analyzed with regard to PPVS. Results Of the 162 patients (median age 61 days; 55% having preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction [prePVO]) included, 47 (29%) with PPVS at a median of 1.5 months ([quartile 1-quartile 3: 1.5-3.0 months]). In the univariable analysis, the indexed total volume of the LA and confluence (iTVLC) and the ratio of the corresponding confluence length to the mean distance between the LA and confluence (CCL/mDBLC ratio) were significantly associated with PPVS. In a multivariable model adjusting for prePVO and age, the iTVLC and CCL/mDBLC ratio independently predicted PPVS (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.06-1.25; and HR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.08-1.35, respectively, all P < 0.01). Specifically, an iTVLC ≥20 cm3/m2 and a CCL/mDBLC ratio ≥7.7 were significantly associated with a reduced risk of PPVS. Conclusions Quantification of 3D confluence-atrial morphology appears to offer a deeper and better metric to predict PPVS in patients with sTAPVC.

JTCVS OPEN 2023; 16:739-754. [PMID: 38204647 PMCID: PMC10774983 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjon.2023.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
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.

Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1206032. [PMID: 37351315 PMCID: PMC10282755 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1206032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To systematically verify the accuracy of a four-step prenatal ultrasonography in diagnosing fetal total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Methods A total of 62 TAPVC fetuses received prenatal ultrasonography and were confirmed by postnatal echocardiography, surgery, or postabortion autopsy. The suspected TAPVC fetuses were further screened by a four-step prenatal ultrasonography for TAPVC classification, pulmonary venous obstruction, and the associated malformations, and followed postpartum. The sonographic features, clinical data, and prognosis of the TAPVC fetuses were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 62 TAPVC fetuses, supracardiac TAPVC was found in 20 cases, intracardiac TAPVC in 12, infracardiac TAPVC in 21, and mixed TAPVC in 9. A total of 30 cases with right atrium isomerism were correctly diagnosed. Of the 11 cases with other intracardiac and extracardiac malformations, 1 case was missed to be diagnosed. Of the 21 isolated TAPVC cases, 6 were missed prenatally and 1 case was prenatally diagnosed as intracardiac and postnatally proved to be mixed (intracardiac type + supracardiac type) by echocardiography. Of the 13 TAPVC live births, 4 infants died in the neonatal period without operation. Of the nine infants undergoing the operation, five recuperated and survived; one survived but had complications with superior vena cava obstruction and collateral circulation formation, and three died postoperatively. Conclusion The four-step prenatal ultrasound procedure can comprehensively and systematically evaluate fetal TAPVC, detailing the classification, potential obstruction, and associated malformations. It provides substantial support for subsequent prenatal counseling and neonatal assessment. The retrospective analysis also reveals that isolated TAPVC is more prone to be missed in diagnosis.
