J Card Surg 2020; 35:3317-3325. [PMID: 32996199 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.15048] [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: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to compare the short- and midterm results of perfusion strategies used for arch reconstruction surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and seventy-three consecutive patients who underwent aortic arch reconstruction surgery for transverse arcus hypoplasia between January 2011 and February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups, as beating heart (BH) group and cardiac arrest (CA) group. RESULTS The CA group comprised 60 (35%) patients and the remaining 113 (65%) patients were in the BH group. The median age of the patients was 30 (interquartile range: 18-95) days. The incidences of acute renal failure (ARF) and delayed sternal closure were higher in the CA group (p = .05, <.001, respectively). Balloon angioplasty was performed in 5 (2%) patients and reoperation was performed in 11 (6%) patients due to restenosis. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of reoperation or reintervention rates (p = .44 and .34, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Both strategies were associated with satisfactory midterm prevention of reintervention and reoperation. Given the lower incidence of ARF and delayed sternal closure in the postoperative period and similar midterm outcomes, we believe that the BH strategy is preferable.

Selective versus standard cerebro-myocardial perfusion in neonates undergoing aortic arch repair: A multi-center study. Artif Organs 2019; 43:728-735. [PMID: 30698825 DOI: 10.1111/aor.13430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2018] [Revised: 01/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The results of neonatal aortic arch surgery using cerebro-myocardial perfusion were analyzed. Selective cerebral and myocardial perfusion, using two separate pump rotors, was compared with standard perfusion, using a single pump rotor with an arterial line Y-connector. Between May 2008 and May 2016, 69 consecutive neonates underwent arch repair using either selective cerebro-myocardial perfusion (Group A, n = 34) or standard perfusion (Group B, n = 35). The groups were similar for age, weight, BSA, prevalence of one-stage or staged repair, and single ventricle palliation; male gender was more frequent in Group A. The duration of the cerebro-myocardial perfusion was comparable (27 ± 8 vs. 28 ± 7 min, P = 0.9), with higher flows in Group A (57 ± 27 vs. 39 ± 19 mL/kg/min, P = 0.01). Although cardioplegic arrest was more common in Group B (13/34 vs. 23/35, P = 0.03), the duration of myocardial ischemia was longer in Group A (64 ± 41 vs. 44 ± 14 min, P = 0.04). There was 1 hospital death in each group, with no permanent neurological injury in either group. Cardiac morbidity (1/34 vs. 7/35, P = 0.02) was more common in Group B, while extracardiac morbidity was similar in both the groups. During follow-up (3.2 ± 2.4 years), 5 late deaths occurred with a comparable 5-year survival rate (75 ± 17% vs. 88 ± 6%, P = 0.7) and freedom from arch reintervention (86 ± 6% vs. 84 ± 7%, P = 0.6). Risk of cardiac morbidity was greater with standard cerebro-myocardial perfusion (OR = 5.2, CI 3.3-6.8, P = 0.001) and with perfusion flows less than 50 mL/kg/min (OR 3.7, CI 1.87-5.95, P = 0.04). Cerebro-myocardial perfusion is a safe and effective strategy to protect the brain and heart in neonates undergoing arch repair. Selective techniques using higher perfusion flows may further attenuate cardiac morbidity.

Selective Cerebro-Myocardial Perfusion in Complex Neonatal Aortic Arch Pathology: Midterm Results. Artif Organs 2018; 42:457-463. [PMID: 29508410 DOI: 10.1111/aor.13128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2017] [Revised: 01/06/2018] [Accepted: 01/09/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Aortic arch repair in newborns and infants has traditionally been accomplished using a period of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. To reduce neurologic and cardiac dysfunction related to circulatory arrest and myocardial ischemia during complex aortic arch surgery, an alternative and novel strategy for cerebro-myocardial protection was recently developed, where regional low-flow perfusion is combined with controlled and independent coronary perfusion. The aim of the present retrospective study was to assess short-term and mid-term results of selective and independent cerebro-myocardial perfusion in neonatal aortic arch surgery. From April 2008 to August 2015, 28 consecutive neonates underwent aortic arch surgery under cerebro-myocardial perfusion. There were 17 male and 11 female, with median age of 15 days (3-30 days) and median body weight of 3 kg (1.6-4.2 kg), 9 (32%) of whom with low body weight (<2.5 kg). The spectrum of pathologies treated was heterogeneous and included 13 neonates having single-stage biventricular repair (46%), 7 staged biventricular repair (25%), and 8 single-ventricle repair (29%). All operations were performed under moderate hypothermia and with a "beating heart and brain." Average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 131 ± 64 min (42-310 min). A period of cardiac arrest to complete intra-cardiac repair was required in nine patients (32%), and circulatory arrest in 1 to repair total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Average time of splanchnic ischemia during cerebro-myocardial perfusion was 30 ± 11 min (15-69 min). Renal dysfunction, requiring a period of peritoneal dialysis was observed in 10 (36%) patients, while liver dysfunction was noted only in 3 (11%). There were three (11%) early and two late deaths during a median follow-up of 2.9 years (range 6 months-7.7 years), with an actuarial survival of 82% at 7 years. At latest follow-up, no patient showed signs of cardiac or neurologic dysfunction. The present experience shows that a strategy of selective and independent cerebro-myocardial perfusion is safe, versatile, and feasible in high-risk neonates with complex congenital arch pathology. Encouraging outcomes were noted in terms of cardiac and neurological function, with limited end-organ morbidity.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infants is associated with morbidity due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Strategies to mitigate SIRS include management of perfusion temperature, hemodilution, circuit miniaturization, and biocompatibility. Traditionally, perfusion parameters have been based on body weight. However, intraoperative monitoring of systemic and cerebral metabolic parameters suggest that often, nominal CPB flows may be overestimated. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of continuous metabolic monitoring to manage CPB in infants during open-heart repair. Between December 2013 and October 2014, 31 consecutive neonates, infants, and young children undergoing surgery using normothermic CPB were enrolled. There were 18 male and 13 female infants, aged 1.4 ± 1.7 years, with a mean body weight of 7.8 ± 3.8 kg and body surface area of 0.39 m(2) . The study was divided into two phases: (i) safety assessment; the first 20 patients were managed according to conventional CPB flows (150 mL/min/kg), except for a 20-min test during which CPB was adjusted to the minimum flow to maintain MVO2>70% and rSO2>45% (group A); (ii) efficacy assessment; the following 11 patients were exclusively managed adjusting flows to maintain MVO2>70% and rSO2>45% for the entire duration of CPB (group B). Hemodynamic, metabolic, and clinical variables were compared within and between patient groups. Demographic variables were comparable in the two groups. In group A, the 20-min test allowed reduction of CPB flows greater than 10%, with no impact on pH, blood gas exchange, and lactate. In group B, metabolic monitoring resulted in no significant variation of endpoint parameters, when compared with group A patients (standard CPB), except for a 10% reduction of nominal flows. There was no mortality and no neurologic morbidity in either group. Morbidity was comparable in the two groups, including: inotropic and/or mechanical circulatory support (8 vs. 1, group A vs. B, P = 0.07), reexploration for bleeding (1 vs. none, P = not significant [NS]), renal failure requiring dialysis (none vs. 1, P = NS), prolonged ventilation (9 vs. 4, P = NS), and sepsis (2 vs. 1, P = NS). The present study shows that normothermic CPB in neonates, infants, and young children can be safely managed exclusively by systemic and cerebral metabolic monitoring. This strategy allows reduction of at least 10% of predicted CPB flows under normothermia and may lay the ground for further tailoring of CPB parameters to individual patient needs.

Abstract
Neonatal patients with hypoplasia of the aortic arch constitute a heterogeneous group with a wide spectrum of severity. The milder end of the spectrum comprises patients with aortic coarctation and isthmus hypoplasia. At the other end of the spectrum are patients with severe transverse arch hypoplasia or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The aim of this paper is to discuss the various strategies and surgical approaches available for this group of patients, focusing on the surgical decisions that influence individual patient management. Many of the things discussed are applicable to any neonatal arch problem. We also describe and discuss in detail our surgical technique for patients who undergo neonatal repair of a hypoplastic aortic arch via median sternotomy.
