Abstract
This study sought to find the risk factors of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO), PVO-related reintervention, and postoperative mortality, determine the relationship between pulmonary venous confluence (PVC) morphology and the clinical outcomes, and provide the basis for the selection of the optimal surgical strategy for infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). From December 2009 to December 2023, 101 patients with infracardiac TAPVC undergoing surgical repair in our institution were included [Conventional surgery (CS) group, n = 73; Sutureless technique (ST) group, n = 28]. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to demonstrate the survival estimates. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors for primary endpoints. There were 8 in-hospital deaths and 4 late deaths. The survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 88.8%, 87.6%, and 87.6%, respectively, in the whole cohort. Multivariable analysis showed that prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) time was associated with overall mortality and Y-shaped PVC has a trend for a higher mortality rate. Postoperative PVO occurred in 27 patients. Freedom from postoperative PVO at 1, 5, and 10 years were 81.8%, 69.9%, and 69.9%, respectively. Y-shaped PVC and preoperative PVO were incremental risk factors for PVO, but ST repair was a protective factor. Sixteen patients underwent PVO-related reintervention. Y-shaped PVC was the only independent risk factors for PVO-related reintervention while ST repair was a protective factor. Sutureless technique can achieve satisfactory outcomes for infracardiac TAPVC repair. Compared with CS repair, ST repair is significantly associated with decreased postoperative PVO and PVO-related reintervention. Y-shaped PVC is associated with a higher risk of PVO, PVO-related reintervention, and mortality, respectively. Patients with preoperative PVO are more likely to develop postoperative PVO.

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 We report a surgical method (sutureless technique), combined with vertical vein incision and pulmonary veins unroofed (semisutureless technique), to correct infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Materials and methods The clinical characteristics of 21 patients, who were diagnosed with infracardiac TAPVS between February 2017 and March 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into three groups according to different surgical methods: conventional surgery group, sutureless technique group, and semisutureless technique group. The conventional surgery group enrolled five patients with a median age of 16 days (interquartile range, 9-27 days) and a median weight of 3.25 kg (interquartile range, 3.1-3.42 kg). In this group, no preoperative pulmonary vein obstruction (PVO), preoperative ventilator support, or emergency surgery were reported. The sutureless technique group enrolled seven patients with a median age of 12 days (interquartile range, 5-16 days) and a median weight of 3.04 kg (interquartile range, 2.76-3.20 kg). In this group, two patients with preoperative PVO, four patients with preoperative ventilator support, and seven patients requiring emergency operation were found. The semisutureless technique group enrolled nine patients with a median age of 14 days (interquartile range, 7-24 days) and a median weight of 3.22 kg (interquartile range, 3.15-3.50 kg). In this group, four patients with preoperative PVO, two patients with preoperative ventilator support, and seven patients requiring emergency operation were noted. Results In the conventional surgery group, two patients with postoperative supraventricular tachycardia, one patient with postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, one patient with PVO, and no case of postoperative death were reported. In the sutureless technique group, two patients with postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, one patient with postoperative supraventricular tachycardia, one patient with postoperative PVO, and no postoperative deaths were determined. In the semisutureless technique group, three patients had low cardiac output syndrome, two patients had supraventricular tachycardia after the operation, and one patient, who had been admitted to the hospital after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency room, died early after the operation. No case of death or PVO was noted after the operation. Conclusion The semisutureless technique has positive effects. This surgery method can enlarge the anastomotic stoma, increase the volume of the left atrium, reduce the tension of the anastomotic stoma, fix the pulmonary vein to avoid distortion, and prevent postoperative hemorrhage.

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
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
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to analyze the surgical outcome of patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) who underwent cardiac surgery. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out. Patients with diagnosis of TAPVC undergoing cardiac surgery at the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez, from January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2019 were included. Descriptive statistics were calculated, as well as a bivariate analysis of the variables associated with mortality. A logistic regression model was included to determine risk factors associated with the main outcome and survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS A total of 5314 patients diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) underwent surgery, 414 (7.8%) were patients with TAPVC, with an average age of 17.1 ± 34.6 months, 58.2% were male. It was frequent in infants (61.6%) and preschool (19.6%). Predominant type was supracardiac TAPVC (47.4%). Pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) occurred in 32.1%. Risk factors associated with mortality were infracardiac TAPVC (odds ratio [OR]: 3.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-9.03; p = .02), PVO (OR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.05-6.22; p = .03) and postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR: 1.005; 95% CI: 1.002-1.008; p = .01). Overall survival was 87.2%, with better outcomes in adolescents (100%), children (94.1%), mixed TAPVC (96%), and cardiac TAPVC (91.9%; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS The survival of our institution after surgical correction of TAPVC is similar to that of other referral centers, where patients with infracardiac TAPVC and newborns worse outcomes. All patients must undergo a rigorous evaluation to determine an adequate repair strategy.

Abstract
Sutureless closure has been used for primary repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) for over 20 years but its superiority over conventional technique is still uncertain. This systematic review was conducted to compare the effectiveness of sutureless closure and conventional surgery as the primary repair for TAPVC. Systematic search was performed in June 2021 on 12 databases. All studies comparing sutureless and conventional surgery for TAPVC were included. The primary endpoints were early mortality, overall mortality, postoperative pulmonary venous stenosis (PVS), and reoperation. Meta-analysis of two-arm studies was performed with several sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Six retrospective studies with 767 patients were included in meta-analyses. Sutureless closure significantly reduced the risk of early mortality, overall mortality, postoperative PVS, and reoperation by 53%, 45%, 77%, and 67% compared to conventional technique, respectively. No heterogeneity was found and presence of publication bias was non-significant. The results were consistent in all sensitivity analyses. Subgroup analyses revealed that sutureless closure was superior to conventional technique in patients with and without preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction, and neonates and non-neonates. Sutureless closure is better than conventional closure as the primary surgery for TAPVC patients. We advocate using sutureless closure for patients with TAPVC. Future large-scale observational studies or clinical trials are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
The lack of accessible noninvasive tools to examine the molecular alterations limits our understanding of the causes of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), as well as the identification of effective operational strategies. Here, we consecutively enrolled peripheral leukocyte transcripts of 26 preoperative obstructive and 22 non-obstructive patients with TAPVC. Two-hundred and fifty six differentially expressed mRNA and 27 differentially expressed long noncoding RNA transcripts were dysregulated. The up-regulated mRNA was enriched in the hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, response to mechanical stimulus, neutrophil degranulation, hemostasis, response to bacterium, and the NABA CORE MATRISOME pathway, all of which are associated with the development of fibrosis. Furthermore, we constructed predictive models using multiple machine-learning algorithms and tested the performance in the validation set. The mRNA NR3C2 and lncRNA MEG3 were screened based on multiple iterations. The random forest prediction model can predict preoperative obstruction patients in the validation set with high accuracy (area under curve = 1; sensitivity = 1). These data highlight the potential of peripheral leukocyte transcripts to evaluate obstructive-related pathophysiological alterations, leading to precision healthcare solutions that could improve patient survival after surgery. It also provides a novel direction for the study of preoperative obstructive TAPVC.

Abstract
Background An updated meta-analysis was performed to explore the clinical outcomes following the sutureless repair in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and compare outcomes between the sutureless technique and conventional surgery. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Ovid-Embase, and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) for relevant published studies that reported the clinical outcomes of the sutureless technique in children with TAPVC was performed in February 2022. The publication language was restricted to English. Results Eleven studies were included involving 771 patients in total. Following the sutureless technique, the incidences of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) and reoperations due to PVO were 3.3% [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3–5.3%] and 1.8% (95% CI, 0.3–3.3%), respectively. The early and late mortality rates were 3.2% (95% CI, 1.0–5.3%) and 2.5% (95% CI, 0.7–4.3%), respectively. Compared with conventional surgery, the sutureless technique significantly reduced the incidences of postoperative PVO [odds ratio (OR), 0.16; 95% CI, 0.08–0.33; P < 0.00001], reoperations due to PVO (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.10–0.63; P = 0.003), and early mortality (OR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.21–0.79; P = 0.008). However, no significant difference was found between conventional surgery and the sutureless technique concerning late mortality (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.13–3.00; P = 0.58). Conclusion The sutureless technique is superior to conventional surgery for the primary repair of TAPVC concerning postoperative PVO, reoperations due to PVO, and early mortality. However, the level of evidence is of low quality. Prospective cohort studies or randomized control trials (RCTs) should be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of sutureless techniques for primary TAPVC repair.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:775578. [PMID: 34869690 PMCID: PMC8632761 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.775578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
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
Background To evaluate trends in the in-hospital mortality rate for pediatric cardiac surgery procedures between 2005 and 2017 in our center, and to discuss the mortality characteristics of children’s CHD after thoracotomy. Methods This retrospective data were collected from medical records of children underwent CHD surgery between 2005 and 2017. Results A total of 19,114 children with CHD underwent surgery and 444 children died, with the in-hospital mortality was 2.3%. Complex mixed defect CHD had the highest fatality rate (8.63%), left obstructive lesion CHD had the second highest fatality rate (4.49%), right to left shunt CHD had the third highest mortality rate (3.51%), left to right shunt CHD had the lowest mortality rate (χ2 = 520.3,P < 0.05). The neonatal period has the highest mortality rate (12.17%), followed by infant mortality (2.58%), toddler age mortality (1.16%), and preschool age mortality (0.94%), the school age and adolescent mortality rate was the lowest (χ2 = 529.3,P < 0.05). In addition, the fatality rate in boys was significantly higher than that in girls (2.77% versus 1.62%, χ2 = 26.4, P < 0.05). Conclusions The mortality rate of CHD surgery in children decreased year by year. The younger the age and the more complicated the cyanotic heart disease, the higher the mortality rate may be.

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
OBJECTIVES We used computed tomographic angiography (CTA)-based surgical planning to clarify the anatomical indications of sutureless repair technique for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The mid-term impact of the current surgical strategies was evaluated. METHODS One hundred twelve patients underwent repair for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The study period was divided into era 1 (1996-2010, n = 56) and era 2 (2011-2018, n = 56). Patients with single ventricular heart (SVH) were included. In era 2, the indications for primary sutureless repair and branch pulmonary vein incision were based on CTA findings. RESULTS For patients with biventricular heart, the 5-year survival was 69% and 97% in eras 1 and 2, respectively (P = 0.0024). For patients with SVH, the 5-year survival was 21% and 70% in eras 1 and 2, respectively (P = 0.0007). During the follow-up period, the evidence of post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) was observed in 12 patients with biventricular heart [era 1, 8 patients (23%); era 2, 4 patients (13%)], and 14 patients with SVH [era 1, 6 patients (60%); era 2, 8 patients (36%)]. Using multivariable analysis, preoperative CTA was associated with improved survival in both biventricular heart and SVH and associated with post-repair PVS-free survival in SVH. Since 2011, 12 patients with post-repair PVS underwent multiple reintervention with 1 recorded death (5-year survival: 88%). CONCLUSIONS CTA-based surgical strategy for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection provided significant survival benefit. Although post-repair PVS could occur in era 2, aggressive reintervention appeared to be associated with improved survival and vein patency.

Abstract
The efficacy of primary sutureless repair for supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) needs to be confirmed. This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes between the conventional surgery and the sutureless technique with a modified approach in superior TAPVC. Between January 2008 and December 2018, 173 patients with supracardiac TAPVC underwent surgery either with the conventional procedure (n = 130) or the sutureless repair (n = 43). Multivariate analysis and competing-risk analysis were used to identify risk factors for early death and postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO), respectively. Among 173 patients who underwent repair of supracardiac TAPVC, 46 (28%) had preoperative PVO, and 22 (12.7%) had postoperative PVO. The sutureless group had a lower postoperative PVO rate compared with the conventional group (p = 0.027). The risk factors for death were age ≤ 28 days [odds ratio (OR), 11.56; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-100.47, p = 0.015], weight ≤ 3 kg (OR 9.57; 95% CI 1.58-58.09, p = 0.009), emergency operation (OR 19.24; 95% CI 3.18-116.35, p = 0.002), cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR 2.16; 95% CI 1.36-3.43, p = 0.003), cross-clamp time (OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.20-2.50, p = 0.022), and duration of ventilation (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.02-1.21, p = 0.027). Age ≤ 28 days [Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.92; 95% CI 1.92-11.02, p < 0.001] and preoperative PVO (HR 41.70; 95% CI 8.15-213.5, p < 0.001) were associated with postoperative PVO. The sutureless repair is a reliable technique for supracardiac TAPVC. Age ≤ 28 days is associated with 30-day mortality and postoperative PVO.

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
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a well-known complication after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Although surgical repair is indicated for younger patients and patients with multiple stenoses, the appropriate procedure for acquired pulmonary vein stenosis has not been established. In this study, we report the successful outcome of our modified sutureless technique using a left atrial appendage flap for left-sided pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This contemporary study sought to describe the outcomes of patients undergoing biventricular repair of infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection who underwent sutureless technique or conventional repair between 2006 and 2018. Risk factors for survival and post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) were assessed with Cox regression model. Time-to-event analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier estimates. RESULTS This study included 82 consecutive patients with the median age of 21 days (interquartile range, 9-40 days). The median follow-up was 29 months (interquartile range, 12.5-59 months) and was available in 95% of the survivors at the end of the study period in 2019. Overall, 8 deaths (8.5%) occurred in the conventional repair group. There was a trend of higher mortality in the conventional repair group, although it did not reach a statistical difference (P = .2). Postrepair PVS occurred at a median of 2 months (interquartile range, 1.2-3.6 months) postoperatively and all occurred in the conventional repair group. Time-to-event analysis with the event of postrepair PVS showed significantly higher freedom from restenosis in the sutureless technique group (P = .0004). Adjusted hazard ratios from time-dependent Cox model described the association between postrepair PVS and pulmonary venous confluence of antler configuration (hazard ratio, 2.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-5.47; P = .002) and the use of sutureless technique (hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.97; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Sutureless technique is associated with a lower risk of postrepair PVS in patients with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. pulmonary venous confluence configuration of antler appearance appears to be associated with restenosis and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare cyanotic congenital heart defect. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of isolated TAPVC repairs and the prognoses of affected patients in the last 12 years at a single center. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 51 patients who underwent isolated TAPVC repair from 2007 to 2018. RESULTS The median age at operation was 19 days, and the median body weight was 3.3 kg. Thirteen (25.5%) patients had emergency operations, and the median follow-up period was 29.54 ± 36.77 months. Early mortality was noted in five patients and late mortality was noted in one patient. Pulmonary vein stenosis was observed in 22 patients within 3 to 6 months after the operation, and six patients required reoperation or transcatheter interventions. Low birth weight, small left atrial volume, long operation time, and preoperative heart failure were identified as risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS Isolated TAPVC can rapidly lead to hemodynamic instability during the neonatal period and is associated with high mortality rates. Increasing the prenatal diagnosis rate and stabilizing the patients' condition before the operation are considered important for improving the surgical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate an integrated model for the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal treatment of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). METHODS From January 2014 to December 2018, 11 patients were considered as a prenatally diagnosed group, who would accept the integrated model for prenatal diagnosis and postnatal treatment of TAPVC. Besides, 25 patients as postnatally diagnosed group underwent emergency surgery during the corresponding period at the same age. The perioperative status, survival and risk factors for death were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In a prenatally diagnosed group, three pregnant women chose termination; eight patients followed the integrated model, and their newborns were rapidly transported to a children's hospital within 24 hours after birth. Other than one patient who was prenatally diagnosed with infracardiac type was later confirmed as a mixed type of TAPVC, the prenatal and postnatal diagnoses of the other seven patients were consistent. The 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year survival rates in the prenatally diagnosed group were 100%, 100%, and 100%, while those in the postnatally diagnosed group were 92%, 87.8%, and 87.8%, without significant difference (P > .05). Although Fisher's exact test indicated that an oxygen saturation <70% at admission might be an independent predictor of mortality (P < .01), none of the risk factors for death were significantly different by multivariate Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION The integrated model of prenatal diagnosis and postnatal treatment by multidisciplinary collaboration could lead to satisfactory outcomes, and prenatal diagnosis combined with postnatal oxygen saturation evaluation would facilitate early intervention for TAPVC.

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
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) constitutes a spectrum of congenital lesions whereby the pulmonary veins remain connected to systemic venous vessels or aberrantly connect to the right atrium. Definitive management requires surgical intervention and, in patients with obstruction to pulmonary venous flow, urgent operation is required. Use of temporizing catheter-based interventions allow for optimization in hemodynamically unstable neonates. Overall, survival has significantly improved over the past decades through better perioperative management and evolution of surgical approaches to minimize post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis, which persists as a major determinant of long-term outcomes.
