Risk factors for atrial arrhythmia recurrence after atrial arrhythmia surgery with pulmonary valve replacement. JTCVS OPEN 2023; 14:123-133. [PMID: 37425464 PMCID: PMC10328968 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjon.2023.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Objectives Atrial arrhythmias are a significant cause of late morbidity and mortality in patients after tetralogy of Fallot repair. However, reports on their recurrence following atrial arrhythmia surgery are limited. We aimed to identify the risk factors for atrial arrhythmia recurrence after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) and arrhythmia surgery. Methods We reviewed 74 patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who underwent PVR for pulmonary insufficiency at our hospital between 2003 and 2021. Twenty-two patients (mean age, 39 years) underwent PVR and atrial arrhythmia surgery. A modified Cox-maze III was performed in 6 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation, and a right-sided maze was performed in 12 with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, 3 with atrial flutter, and 1 with atrial tachycardia. Atrial arrhythmia recurrence was defined as any documented sustained atrial tachyarrhythmia requiring intervention. The influence of preoperative parameters on recurrence was assessed with the Cox proportional-hazards model. Results The median follow-up period was 9.2 years (interquartile range, 4.5-12.4). Cardiac death and redo-PVR due to prosthetic valve dysfunction were not observed. Eleven patients had atrial arrhythmia recurrence after discharge. Atrial arrhythmia recurrence-free rates were 68% at 5 years and 51% at 10 years after PVR and arrhythmia surgery. Multivariable analysis revealed that right atrial volume index (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.08, P = .009) was a significant risk factor for atrial arrhythmia recurrence after arrhythmia surgery and PVR. Conclusions Preoperative right atrial volume index was associated with atrial arrhythmia recurrence, which may assist in planning the timing of atrial arrhythmia surgery and PVR.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1068752. [PMID: 36698943 PMCID: PMC9868297 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1068752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Pulmonary arterial end-diastolic forward flow (EDFF) following repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is recognized as right ventricular (RV) restrictive physiology, which is closely related to poor prognosis. This study sought to review mid-term experience and investigate the risk factors of EDFF in the rTOF patients. Methods From September 2016 to January 2019, 100 patients (age < 18 years old) who underwent complete tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair were enrolled and were divided into EDFF group (n = 52) and non-EDFF group (n = 48) based on the presence of postoperative EDFF. Elastic net analysis was performed for variable selection. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to analyze the correlation between risk factors and EDFF. Results End-diastolic forward flow group had lower systolic blood pressure (P = 0.037), diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.027), and higher vasoactive-inotrope score within 24 h after surgery (P = 0.022) than non-EDFF group. Transannular patch (TAP) was an independent predictor of postoperative EDFF [P = 0.029, OR: 2.585 (1.102∼6.061)]. Patients were followed up for a median of 2.6 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1.6] after the first TOF repair. During follow-up, the prevalence of the EDFF was lower in those with pulmonary valve (PV) reconstructions than that in those undergoing patch enlargement without PV reconstructions in the primary TOF repair (P < 0.001). Conclusion End-diastolic forward flow was associated with TAP. Patients with EDFF might have a transient hemodynamic instability in the early postoperative period. PV reconstructions in the TOF repair might reduce the incidence of EDFF in the mid-term follow-up.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary arterial end‐diastolic forward flow (EDFF) following repaired tetralogy of Fallot has been thought to represent right ventricular (RV) restrictive physiology, but is not fully understood. This systematic review and meta‐analysis sought to clarify its physiological and clinical correlates, and to define a framework for understanding EDFF and RV restrictive physiology. Methods and Results PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and reference lists of relevant articles were searched for observational studies published before March 2021. Random‐effects meta‐analysis was performed to identify factors associated with EDFF. Forty‐two individual studies published between 1995 and 2021, including a total of 2651 participants (1132 with EDFF; 1519 with no EDFF), met eligibility criteria. The pooled estimated prevalence of EDFF among patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot was 46.5% (95% CI, 41.6%–51.3%). Among patients with EDFF, the use of a transannular patch was significantly more common, and their stay in the intensive care unit was longer. EDFF was associated with greater RV indexed volumes and mass, as well as smaller E‐wave velocity at the tricuspid valve. Finally, pulmonary regurgitation fraction was greater in patients with EDFF, and moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation was more common in this population. Conclusions EDFF is associated with dilated, hypertrophied RVs and longstanding pulmonary regurgitation. Although several studies have defined RV restrictive physiology as the presence of EDFF, our study found no clear indicators of poor RV compliance in patients with EDFF, suggesting that EDFF may have multiple causes and might not be the precise equivalent of RV restrictive physiology.
