Abstract
Background: Various inotropes and inodilators have been utilized to treat low cardiac output syndrome after the arterial switch operation. The use of levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer has been limited in this setting. This study compares the effects of levosimendan with milrinone in managing low cardiac output after the arterial switch operation. Methods: A retrospective, comparative study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital on patients weighing up to 3 kg undergoing the arterial switch operation between January 2017 and January 2022. Patients received a loading dose followed by continuous infusion of either levosimendan or milrinone. Echocardiographic, hemodynamic and biochemical parameters were compared. Results: Forty-three patients received levosimendan and 42 patients received milrinone as the primary test drug. Cardiac index of less than 2.2 L/min/m2 on postoperative day 1 and 2 was found in 9.3% and 2.3% of patients receiving levosimendan versus 26.2% and 11.9% in those receiving milrinone, respectively (P = .04 and .08, respectively). Early lactate-clearance and better central venous oxygen saturations were noted in the levosimendan group. Prevalence of acute kidney injury was higher in the milrinone group (50% vs 28%; P = .03). Use of peritoneal dialysis in the milrinone group versus levosimendan was 31% and 16.3%, respectively (P = .11). There was no difference in hospital mortality between the groups (milrinone, 3; levosimendan, 2, P = .62). Conclusions: Levosimendan is safe and as effective as milrinone to treat low cardiac output syndrome occurring in neonates after the arterial switch operation. In addition we found that levosimendan was renal protective when compared with milrinone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates following the arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of great arteries (TGA). METHODS Retrospective review of medical data of children who underwent ASO in 2019-2020 in the Ukrainian Children's Cardiac Center. RESULTS 76 consecutive neonatal patients were included, 48 developed AKI after ASO (51.7%), and 24 - had severe AKI (25.8%). Severe AKI development was associated with longer cross-clamp time: 82 (61-127) versus 73.5 (53-136) in the non-severe AKI group (p = 0.02). 76 min of cross-clamp time were defined as a threshold value for increased severe AKI risk, OR 4.4 (95% CI: 1.5 - 13, p = 0.01). Higher lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increased severe AKI development risk, OR 1.5 (95% CI: 1.0 - 2.0, p = 0.03). Children with severe AKI had prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer time to negative fluid balance, and higher postoperative day 3 (POD3) Inotropic Score (IS). Only one patient required peritoneal dialysis. CONCLUSIONS In our study, 51.7% of patients developed AKI after ASO, 25.8%-severe AKI. Prolonged cross-clamp time and higher lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass increased the risk for severe AKI development. The development of AKI was associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer time to negative fluid balance, higher POD 3 Inotropic Score.

Renal Outcomes in Neonates and Infants with Transposition Physiology Undergoing Arterial Switch Procedure. Pediatr Cardiol 2022; 43:1770-1783. [PMID: 35569085 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-02914-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with Transposition of Great arteries (TGA) undergoing Arterial Switch operation (ASO) is an important complication in the post-operative period associated with worse outcomes. AKI in children post open cardiac surgery has been well studied, with lesser data in literature pertaining to TGA and its sub-types specifically. This was a prospective, observational study enrolling infants with TGA undergoing ASO at a single center over a span of a decade from January 2010 to December 2020. The infants were followed during the duration of ICU and hospital stay, with documentation of baseline and intraoperative parameters as well as post-operative course. Out of 145 infants enrolled in the study, 83.1% developed AKI with majority (83.9%) having stage 1 AKI. Higher odds of AKI were seen in infants requiring Norepinephrine [odds ratio - 16.76 (95% CI 2.19-128.2), p < 0.001] and those who developed gram-negative infections [2.81 (1.04-7.56), p - 0.036]. Infants with AKI had significantly higher vasoactive-inotropic support at day 1 than those without AKI [16 (12.5-21.50 vs 13 (10.25-15.75), p - 0.014]. Seventeen infants in the AKI group (14%) died as opposed to none in the non-AKI group (p = 0.076). Median hours of ventilator support required were significantly higher in those with AKI than those who did not develop AKI (48 vs 45.5 p = 0.015). The infants with ASO + ASD + PDA (53% of neonates who died) were younger, had less weight at admission, more gram-negative sepsis and need for dopamine, as compared to ASO + VSD + ASD (23.5% of mortality) and ASO + ASD + VSD + aortic arch repair (23.5% of mortality). AKI in infants with TGA undergoing ASO is common and associated with poorer outcomes. In this subpopulation, AKI development is associated most commonly with hemodynamic instability and infections. This is the first study, looking at outcomes of TGA depending on the sub-types of ASO surgeries done in the infants [ASO with ASD + PDA or ASD + VSD or ASD + VSD + Arch Repair].

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) commonly complicates cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this study we assessed incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of postoperative AKI, while testing the hypothesis that, depending on the underlying diagnosis, there would be significant differences in AKI incidence among different diagnostic groups. We conducted an observational cohort study of children with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery in a single tertiary center between January 2019 and August 2021 (n = 362). Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria were used to determine the incidence of postoperative AKI. Diagnosis was incorporated into multivariate models using an anatomic-based CHD classification system. Overall survival was estimated using Kaplan−Meier curves. Log-rank test and adjusted Cox proportional hazard modelling were used to test for differences in survival distributions and determine AKI effect on survival function, respectively. AKI occurred in 70 (19.3%), with 21.4% in-hospital mortality for AKI group. Younger age, lower weight, longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative mechanical ventilation and diagnostic category were associated with postoperative AKI. Resolution rate was 92.7% prior to hospital discharge for survivors. AKI was associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital length of stay. AKI patients had significantly higher probability of all-cause mortality postoperatively when compared to the non-AKI group (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Adjusted hazard ratio for AKI versus non-AKI group was 11.08 (95% CI 2.45−50.01; p = 0.002). Diagnostic category was associated with cardiac surgery-related AKI in children with CHD, a finding supporting the development of lesion specific models for risk stratification. Postoperative AKI had detrimental impact on clinical outcomes and was associated with decreased survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the incidence, potential risk factors, characteristics, and outcomes of acute kidney injury in children following the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. METHODS Retrospective review of children who underwent ASO between 2000 and 2020 in our tertiary children's hospital in the Netherlands. Pre-and post-ASO serum creatinine levels were collected. Severe AKI was defined as 100% serum creatinine rise or estimated creatinine clearance <35 ml/min/1.73 m2 according to pRIFLE criteria. Logistic regression was used to adjust for confounders. RESULTS A total of 242 children were included. Fifty-seven (24%) children developed severe AKI after ASO. Four patients with severe AKI were treated with renal replacement therapy. Children with severe AKI had a longer duration of mechanical ventilation 4.5 (1.0-29) versus 3 (1.0-12) days (p = 0.001), longer PICU stay 7 (2-76) versus 5 (1-70) days, (p = 0.001), higher rate of myocardial infarction 5% versus 0.5% (p = 0.001), sepsis 24% versus 9% (p = 0.002), post-operative pulmonary hypertension 19% versus 6% (p = 0.002), post-operative bleeding 9% versus 3% (p = 0.044), longer time to sternal closure 3 (1-19) versus 2 (1-6) days, (p = 0.009), and a higher mortality rate 9.0% versus 0.5% (p = 0.001) compared to children without severe AKI. Sepsis was a risk factor for developing severe AKI. CONCLUSIONS In this single-centre cohort, 24% of our patients developed severe AKI after ASO, which is associated with increased morbidity, longer PICU stay, and higher mortality.
