Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the impact of caloric intake and weight-for-age-Z-score after the Norwood procedure on the outcome of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. METHODS A total of 153 neonates who underwent the Norwood procedure between 2012 and 2020 were surveyed. Postoperative daily caloric intake and weight-for-age-Z-score up to five months were calculated, and their impact on outcome after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was analysed. RESULTS Median age and weight at the Norwood procedure were 9 days and 3.2 kg, respectively. Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt was used in 95 patients and right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit in 58. Postoperatively, total caloric intake gradually increased, whereas weight-for-age-Z-score constantly decreased. Early and inter-stage mortality before stage II correlated with low caloric intake. Older age (p = 0.023) at Norwood, lower weight (p < 0.001) at Norwood, and longer intubation (p = 0.004) were correlated with low weight-for-age-Z-score (< -3.0) at 2 months of age. Patients with weight-for-age-Z-score < -3.0 at 2 months of age had lower survival after stage II compared to those with weight-for-age-Z-score of -3.0 or more (85.3 versus 92.9% at 3 years after stage II, p = 0.017). There was no difference between inter-stage weight gain and survival after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt between the shunt types. CONCLUSION Weight-for-age-Z-score decreased continuously throughout the first 5 months after the Norwood procedure. Age and weight at Norwood and intubation time were associated with weight gain. Inter-stage low weight gain (Z-score < -3) was a risk for survival after stage II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare hemodynamic performance of the Avalus (Medtronic) and the Perimount Magna Ease (PME, Edwards Lifesciences) bioprosthesis up to 5 years by serial echocardiographic examinations. METHODS In patients undergoing aortic valve replacement, 58 received PME prostheses between October 2007 and October 2008, and another 60 received Avalus prostheses between October 2014 and November 2015. To ensure similar baseline characteristics, we performed a propensity score matching based on left ventricular ejection fraction, age, body surface area, and aortic annulus diameter measured by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Thereafter, 48 patients remained in each group. Mean age at operation was 67 ± 6 years and mean EuroSCORE-II was 1.7 ± 1.1. Both values did not differ significantly between the two groups. RESULTS At 1 year the mean pressure gradient (MPG) was 15.4 ± 4.3 mm Hg in the PME group and 14.7 ± 5.1 mm Hg in the Avalus group (p = 0.32). The effective orifice area (EOA) was 1.65 ± 0.45 cm2 in the PME group and 1.62 ± 0.45 cm2 in the Avalus group (p = 0.79). At 5 years the MPG was 16.6 ± 5.1 mm Hg in the PME group and 14.7 ± 7.1 mm Hg in the Avalus group (p = 0.20). The EOA was 1.60 ± 0.49 cm2 in the PME group and 1.51 ± 0.40 cm2 in the Avalus group (p = 0.38). Five-year survival was 88% in the PME group and 91% in the Avalus group (p = 0.5). In the PME group, there were no reoperations on the aortic valve, whereas in the Avalus group three patients required a reoperation due to endocarditis. CONCLUSION Both bioprostheses exhibit similar hemodynamic performance during a 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data comparing transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) with surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR) are lacking. AIMS This study sought to compare the 30-day Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-3 device success of TMVI with that of SMVR. METHODS Matching protocol combined exact matching (sex, atrial fibrillation, previous surgical aortic valve replacement [SAVR] or coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]), coarsened exact matching (age) and propensity score matching (body mass index, mitral valve pathology and concomitant tricuspid regurgitation). RESULTS A total of 40 Tendyne TMVI and 80 SMVR patients with similar baseline characteristics were analysed (TMVI vs SMVR): age (78 years [interquartile range [{IQR} 75; 80] vs 78 years [IQR 73; 80]; p=0.8), female (60% vs 60%; p=1.0), atrial fibrillation (67.5% vs 63.7%; p=0.8), previous SAVR (12.5% vs 10.0%; p=0.8), previous CABG (20.0% vs 16.2%; p=0.8), body mass index (25.54 kg/m² vs 25.24 kg/m²; p=0.7) and valve pathology (mitral regurgitation: 70.0% vs 73.8%, mitral stenosis: 7.5% vs 3.8%, and mixed disease: 22.5% vs 22.5%; p=0.6). Most baseline characteristics not included in the matching model were balanced among the TMVI/SMVR cohorts: European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II (5.8% [IQR 2.9; 7.5] vs 4.2% [IQR 2.4; 6.8]; p=0.3) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) score (5.2% [IQR 3.2; 8.6] vs 4.1% [IQR 3.3; 6.1]; p=0.076). Coronary artery disease (67.5% vs 32.5%; p<0.001) and previous percutaneous coronary intervention (47.5% vs 25.0%; p=0.023) differed among groups. Mitral VARC (MVARC) device success at 30 days was achieved in 82.5% of patients after TMVI and 57.5% of patients after SMVR (p=0.04). MVARC procedural success at 30 days was 75.0% after TMVI versus 52.5% after SMVR (p=0.07). Thirty-day mortality (2.5% vs 3.8%; p=0.47), technical success (97.5% vs 97.5%; p=1.0), major bleeding (17.5% vs 18.7%; p=0.087), stroke (5.0% vs 4.9%; p=1.0) and postoperative haemodialysis (7.5% vs 5.2%; p=0.4) were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Patients with intermediate surgical risk, according to STS-PROM and EuroSCORE II, demonstrated higher rates of MVARC device at 30 days after TMVI compared to 30 days after SMVR. Rates of survival and procedural success, neurological, renal and bleeding complications were similar. Transfusion count and length of stay were lower after TMVI. For elderly patients at intermediate risk, a TMVI eligibility assessment may be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate incidence, outcomes, and predictors of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and plastic bronchitis (PB) in a cohort of total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). METHODS We included 620 consecutive patients undergoing TCPC between 1994 and 2021. Prevalence and predictors for onset of PLE/PB were evaluated. Death and heart transplantation after onset of PLE/PB were examined. RESULTS A total of 41 patients presented with PLE/PB (31 with PLE, 15 with PB, and 5 developed both PLE and PB). Their median age at TCPC was 2.2 (interquartile ranges [IQRs], 1.7-3.7) years, and time period to onset for PLE was 2.6 (IQR: 1.0-6.6) years and for PB was 1.1 (IQR: 0.3-4.1) years after TCPC. Independent factors for developing PLE/PB were dominant right ventricle (RV, hazard ratio [HR], 2.243; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.129-4.458, P = .021) and prolonged pleural effusion after TCPC (HR, 2.101; 95% CI, 1.090-4.049, P = .027). In PLE/PB population, freedom from death or transplantation after PLE/PB diagnosis at 5 and 10 years were 88.7% and 76.4%, respectively. Eleven surgical interventions were performed in 10 patients, comprising atrioventricular valve repairs (n = 4), Fontan pathway revisions (n = 2), pacemaker implantation (n = 2), secondary fenestration (n = 1), diaphragm plication (n = 1), and ventricular assist device implantation (n = 1). In nine patients, a recovery from PLE with the resolution of PLE symptoms and normal protein levels was achieved. Eight patients died and the remaining continued to have challenging protein loss. CONCLUSIONS Protein-losing enteropathy and PB remain severe complications in the cohort of TCPC. Patients with dominant RV, and prolonged pleural effusions, were at risk for PLE/PB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze somatic growth of patients after total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) as well as to identify factors influencing postoperative catch-up growth. METHODS A total of 309 patients undergoing TCPC at 4 years old or less between 1994 and 2021 were included. Weight for age z-score (WAZ) and height for age-z-score (HAZ) at TCPC and at postoperative time between 1 and 3 years were calculated. Factors influencing somatic growth were analyzed. RESULTS Most frequent diagnosis and initial palliation were hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) (34%) and the Norwood procedure (51%), respectively. Median age and weight at TCPC were 2.0 (IQR: 1.7-2.5) years and 11.3 (10.5-12.7) kg, respectively. Median 519 days after TCPC, a significant increase in WAZ (-0.4 to -0.2, p < 0.001) was observed, but not in HAZ (-0.6 to -0.6, p = 0.38). Older age at TCPC (p < 0.001, odds ratio [OR]: 2.6) and HLHS (p = 0.007, OR: 2.2) were risks for low WAZ after TCPC. Older age at TCPC (p = 0.009, OR: 1.9) and previous Norwood procedure (p = 0.021, OR: 2.0) were risks for low HAZ after TCPC. Previous bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) was a protective factor for both WAZ (p = 0.012, OR: 0.06) and HAZ (p = 0.028, OR: 0.30) at TCPC. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing TCPC at the age of 4 years or less, a significant catch-up growth was observed in WAZ after TCPC, but not in HAZ. Previous BCPS resulted to be a protective factor for a better somatic development at TCPC. HLHSs undergoing Norwood were considered as risks for somatic development after TCPC.

Abstract
Objective While early outcome after the Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome has improved, interstage mortality until bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) remains a concern. Our aim was to institute a home monitoring program to (HMP) decrease interstage mortality. Methods Among 264 patients who survived Norwood procedure and were discharged before BCPS, 80 patients were included in the HMP and compared to the remaining 184 patients regarding interstage mortality. In patients with HMP, events during the interstage period were evaluated. Results Interstage mortality was 8% (n = 21), and was significantly lower in patients with HMP (2.5%, n = 2), compared to those without (10.3%, n = 19, p = 0.031). Patients with interstage mortality had significantly lower birth weight (p < 0.001) compared to those without. Lower birth weight (p < 0.001), extra corporeal membrane oxygenation support (p = 0.002), and lack of HMP (p = 0.048) were risk factors for interstage mortality. Most frequent event during home monitoring was low saturation (<70%) in 14 patients (18%), followed by infection in 6 (7.5%), stagnated weight gain in 5 (6.3%), hypoxic shock in 3 (3.8%) and arrhythmias in 2 (2.5%). An unexpected readmission was needed in 24 patients (30%). In those patients, age (p = 0.001) and weight at BCPS (p = 0.007) were significantly lower compared to those without readmission, but the survival after BCPS was comparable between the groups. Conclusions Interstage HMP permits timely intervention and led to an important decrease in interstage mortality. One-third of the patients with home monitoring program needed re-admission and demonstrated the need for earlier stage 2 palliation.

Abstract
Background Clinical consequences of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is currently in the focus of clinical research. Patients with small aortic annulus are at higher risk to display PPM. Data on incidence and clinical consequences of PPM after TAVR with either balloon-expandable (BEV) or self-expanding (SEV) transcatheter heart valves in small aortic annulus are sparse. Methods Patients with small aortic annulus (perimeter < 72 mm or aortic annulus area < 400 mm2) who underwent BEV or SEV with contemporary transcatheter heart valve types were identified from the institutional TAVR database. Propensity score matching was applied for imbalanced baseline characteristics between patients undergoing BEV or SEV. Echocardiography and clinical follow-up beyond 3 years was reported following VARC-3 recommendations. Primary endpoint was the incidence of pre-discharge PPM and its association with 3-year mortality. Results From a total of 507 patients with small aortic annulus, 192 matched patient pairs with SEV or BEV were identified. Mean age was 81 ± 7 (SEV) vs. 81 ± 6 (BEV) years (p = 0.5), aortic annulus perimeter was 69 ± 3 vs.69 ± 3 mm, (p = 0.8), annulus area was 357 ± 27 vs.357 ± 27 mm2 (p = 0.8), and EuroScore II was 5.8 ± 6.6 vs.5.7 ± 7.2 (p = 0.9). SEV resulted in less moderate (20% vs. 31%, p < 0.001) and severe pre-discharge PPM (9% vs.18%, p < 0.001) compared to BEV. At discharge (7 ± 4 vs. 12 ± 9 mmHg, p = 0.003) and at 1-year follow-up (7 ± 5 vs.13 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0.001), SEV displayed lower mean gradients compared to BEV. Estimated survival after SEV was 85% (95% confidence interval (CI): 80%-90%) at 1 year, 80% (95% CI: 75%-86%) at 2 years, and 71% (95% CI: 65%-78%) at 3 years; estimated survival after BEV was 87% (95% CI: 82%-92%) at 1 year, 81% (95% CI: 75%-86%) at 2 years, and 72% (95% CI: 66%-79%) at 3 years, with no significant difference among the groups (p = 0.9) Body surface area (OR: 1.35, p < 0.001), implantation of BEV (odds ratio (OR): 3.32, p < 0.001), and the absence of postdilatation (OR: 2.16, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for any PPM. At 3 years, patients without PPM had a higher 3-year survival compared with patients with ≥moderate PPM (77% vs. 67%, p = 0.03). Conclusion BEV implantation in patients with small annulus was associated with a twofold higher incidence of pre-discharge severe PPM compared to SEV implantation. Survival at 3 years after TAVR was similar after BEV and SEV. However, patients with the absence of pre-discharge PPM had a higher 3-year survival compared to patients with ≥moderate PPM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the longitudinal change of systemic ventricular function and atrioventricular valve regurgitation after total cavopulmonary connection. METHODS In 620 patients who underwent total cavopulmonary connection between 1994 and 2021, 4219 longitudinal echocardiographic examinations of systemic ventricular function and atrioventricular valve regurgitation were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The most frequent primary diagnosis was hypoplastic left heart syndrome in 172, followed by single ventricle in 131, tricuspid atresia in 95, and double inlet left ventricle in 91 patients. Dominant right ventricle was observed in 329 (53%) and dominant left ventricle in 291 (47%). Median age at total cavopulmonary connection was 2.3 (1.8-3.4) years. Transplant-free survival at 5, 10, and 15 years after total cavopulmonary connection was 96.3, 94.7, and 93.6%, respectively in patients with dominant right ventricle and 97.3, 94.6, and 94.6%, respectively in those with dominant left ventricle (p = 0.987). Longitudinal analysis of systemic ventricular function was similar in both groups during the first 10 years postoperatively. Thereafter, systemic ventricular function worsened significantly in patients with dominant right ventricle, compared with those with dominant left ventricle (15 years: p = 0.007, 20 years: p = 0.03). Atrioventricular valve regurgitation was more frequent after total cavopulmonary connection in patients with dominant right ventricle compared with those with dominant left ventricle (p < 0.001 at 3 months, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years, p = 0.023 at 20 years). There was a significant correlation between postoperative systemic ventricular dysfunction and atrioventricular valve regurgitation (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There was no transplant-free survival difference and no difference in ventricular function between dominant right ventricle and dominant left ventricle for the first 10 years after total cavopulmonary connection. Thereafter, ventricular function in dominant right ventricle was inferior to that in dominant left ventricle. The degree of atrioventricular valve regurgitation was significantly higher in dominant right ventricle, compared with dominant left ventricle, and it was positively associated with ventricular dysfunction, especially in dominant right ventricle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to prove if pulmonary artery size influences survival and if an additional aortopulmonary shunt promotes left pulmonary artery growth after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. METHODS The medical records of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who underwent Norwood procedure and bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed. Right, left, and total (right + left) pulmonary artery indices were calculated according to Nakata and colleagues. RESULTS A total of 158 patients were included in this study. Median age at Norwood and bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was 8 (7-11) days and 3.6 (3.1-4.6) months, respectively. There were 7 hospital deaths and 12 late deaths. Survival after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was 90.3% at 1 year, and 86.2% at 2 years. Total, right, and left pulmonary artery indices were 238 (195-316), 136 (101-185), and 102 (75-130) mm2/m2 at the time of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, and they were 237 (198-284), 151 (123-186), and 86 (69-108) mm2/m2 at the time of Fontan. Left pulmonary artery index decreased significantly between the time of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and Fontan (p < 0.01). Nine patients needed partial takedown and additional aortopulmonary shunt due to failing bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, but the additional aortopulmonary shunt did not promote the pulmonary artery growth significantly. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative pulmonary artery index did not affect the mortality after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. The partial takedown and additional aortopulmonary shunt for failing bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt were unable to improve left pulmonary artery size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was intended to determine the impact of extracardiac anomalies on outcomes in patients with functional single ventricle who underwent staged palliation. METHODS We reviewed medical records of patients who underwent first-stage palliation at our center between 2001 and 2020. The prevalence and type of extracardiac anomalies were evaluated, and their impact on outcomes during staged palliation was analyzed. RESULTS Among 602 patients who underwent first-stage palliation, 81 (14%) patients had associated with extracardiac anomalies. They were more frequently associated with prematurity (P = .03) and low birth weight below 2.5 kg (P < .01). Mortality between first-stage palliation and stage II was similar in patients with and without extracardiac anomalies (24.7% vs 17.1%, P = .10). However, mortality between stage II and stage III was significantly higher in patients with extracardiac anomalies compared with those without (22.2% vs 12.5%, P = .02). Mortality after stage III was also higher in patients with extracardiac anomalies compared with those without (4.9% vs 1.5%, P = .04). In the subgroup analysis of 81 patients with extracardiac anomalies, renal anomalies were identified as a significant risk factor for mortality (P = .03, hazard ratio 2.44). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of extracardiac anomalies in this study was 14%, and patients with extracardiac anomalies were highly associated with prematurity and low birth weight. Presence of extracardiac anomalies was associated with higher mortality between stage II and stage III palliation and after stage III phase, but not before stage II. Among extracardiac anomalies, renal anomalies were identified as a risk factor for mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies focused on infants with univentricular heart undergoing stage I palliation other than the Norwood procedure remain a topic of great interest. This study evaluated the outcome of infants who underwent systemic to pulmonary shunt (SPS) or pulmonary artery banding (PAB). METHODS Infants who underwent SPS or PAB as stage I palliation between 1994 and 2019 were included. Survival and late systemic ventricular function were evaluated. RESULTS Out of 242 patients, 188 underwent SPS (77.7%) and 54 PAB (22.3%). Main diagnosis included tricuspid atresia, unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects, double inlet left ventricles and single ventricles with other morphology. Thirty-eight patients died before stage II palliation (15.7%). Stage II palliation was performed in 182 patients (75.2%), and mortality between stages II and III was 11 (5.6%). Stage III palliation was performed in 160 (66.1%) patients. Survival at 1, 5 and 15 years after stage I procedure was 81.9, 77.1 and 76.2%, respectively, and similar between both procedures (P = 0.97). Premature birth [P = 0.03, hazard ratio (HR) = 2.1], heterotaxy (P = 0.006, HR = 2.4) and dominant right ventricle (P = 0.015, HR = 2.2) were factors associated to mortality. Unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect (P = 0.005, HR = 4.6) was a factor associated to systemic ventricular dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS In patients with univentricular heart who underwent SPS and PAB as stage I palliation, survival at 15 years was 76%, regardless of th chosen approach. Premature birth, heterotaxy and dominant right ventricle were associated to mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to identify the impact of pulmonary artery size on outcomes after nonfenestrated total cavopulmonary connection. In a subgroup of patients with right-sided bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, the impact of each branch pulmonary artery size was individually determined. METHODS The medical records of all patients who underwent nonfenestrated total cavopulmonary connection between 2009 and 2021 were reviewed. The pulmonary artery index was calculated using angiography before the operation. RESULTS A total of 247 patients were included in this study. A right-sided bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was performed in 217 patients (88%). Median pulmonary artery index was 162 (133-207) mm2/m2 before total cavopulmonary connection. Chylothorax occurred in 55 patients (22%). Pulmonary artery index was an independent factor for chylothorax (odds ratio, 0.98, 95% confidence interval, 0.97-0.99, P < .001) with a cutoff value of 170 mm2/m2. In a subgroup of patients with right-sided bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, the left pulmonary artery index was identified as an independent risk factor for longer stay in the intensive care unit (coefficient B -0.02, 95% confidence interval, -0.04 to -0.002, P = .034) and for adverse events (hazard ratio, 0.98, 95% confidence interval, 0.96-0.99, P = .011) with a cutoff value of 56 mm2/m2. CONCLUSIONS The pulmonary artery index is significantly associated with the occurrence of chylothorax after nonfenestrated total cavopulmonary connection with a cutoff value of 170 mm2/m2. In patients with right-sided bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, left pulmonary artery index has a significant predictive value for longer stay in the intensive care unit and adverse events with a cutoff value of 56 mm2/m2.

Abstract
This study aims to clarify the relation of development of aortopulmonary collateral arteries (APCs) with anatomical sub-types and the shunt types at Norwood procedure in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). A total of 140 patients with HLHS who completed 3 staged palliation between 2003 and 2019 were included. Incidence of APCs and corresponding interventions were examined using angiogram by cardiac catheterization, with respect to the anatomical sub-types and shunt types. Totally, APCs were observed in 87 (62%) of the patients; pre-stage II in 32 (23%), pre-stage III in 64 (46%), and after stage III in 40 (29%). The incidence of APCs before stage II was significantly higher in patients with aortic atresia/mitral atresia (AA/MA) compared with other sub-types (P = 0.022). Patients with right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC) had a higher incidence of APCs originating from the descending aorta, compared with those with modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (20% vs 2%, P= 0.002). Interventions for APCs were performed in 58 (41%) patients; before stage II in 10 (7%), after stage II in 7 (5%), before stage III in 22 (16%), and after stage III in 32 (23%). Patients with AA/MA had more interventions before stage II (P= 0.019), and patients with aortic stenosis/mitral stenosis (AS/MS) had a lower incidence of interventions after stage III (P= 0.047). More than half of the patients with HLHS developed APCs. Before stage II, patients with AA/MA sub-type had a higher incidence of APCs, and those with RVPAC had significantly more APCs from the descending aorta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with a functional single ventricle is a risk factor for mortality during staged palliation. This study aimed to assess TAPVC's impact on staged palliation outcomes. METHODS In a total of 602 patients with a functional single ventricle who underwent stage 1 palliation (S1P) at our center between 2001 and 2020, 39 (6.5%) patients were associated with TAPVC. Median age at S1P was 12.0 (interquartile range, 7-21) days with a body weight of 3.1 (interquartile range, 2.8-3.6) kg. Outcomes during staged palliation were compared with the remaining 563 patients without TAPVC. Risk factors for mortality were identified using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS Primary diagnosis in functional single-ventricle patients with TAPVC included hypoplastic left heart syndromes (n = 13), unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects (n = 12) tricuspid atresias (n = 2), double inlet left ventricle (n = 1), and others (n = 11). Types of TAPVC were supracardiac (n = 21), cardiac (n = 10), infracardiac (n = 6), and mixed (n = 2). Pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) was associated in 19 (49%) patients. S1Ps included Norwood (n = 13), aortopulmonary shunt (n = 21), and pulmonary artery banding (n = 5). Thirty-day mortality after S1P was significantly increased in patients with TAPVC vs without TAPVC (43.6% vs 16.3%; P < .001). After bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and total cavopulmonary connection procedures, mortality was low in both groups, and no statistically significant differences were found. Correction of TAPVC at the time of S1P was not found to be a significant risk factor in univariable Cox regression analysis. In univariate and multivariate analysis, PVO was identified as an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with TAPVC (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Overall survival is lower in TAPVC single-ventricle patients than in non-TAPVC patients. Most deaths after S1P were associated with TAPVC, but not after S2P. PVO is a mortality risk factor in TAPVC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the impact of early postoperative low arterial oxygen saturation on mortality and morbidity after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. METHODS The medical records of all patients who underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt between 2013 and 2018 were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 164 patients were included in this study. Forty-seven patients underwent reintervention during hospital stay at median 7 days after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. Before reintervention, 30 patients were intubated or had SpO2 of less than 75%. All re-interventions for Glenn pathway obstruction and 4 out of 5 venovenous coil embolization resulted in hospital discharge, while high mortality was observed after other re-interventions (atrioventricular valve surgery, thrombolysis, systemic ventricular outflow obstruction relief, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation implantation, and diaphragmatic plication). Additional aortopulmonary shunt with pulmonary artery discontinuation was performed in 8 patients who showed severe cyanosis with median SpO2 of 59% under maximal ventilation support. In univariable Cox regression analysis, the associated factors for mortality before total cavopulmonary connection were reduced ventricular function (HR 6.89, 95% CI 1.76-26.9, P value 0.006), greater than moderate atrioventricular valve regurgitation (HR 5.89, 95% CI 1.70-20.4, P value 0.005), SpO2 1 hour after extubation (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.80-0.96, P value 0.004), and mean pulmonary artery pressure 1 hour after extubation (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.26, P value 0.016). CONCLUSIONS After bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, unacceptable cyanosis persisted with various etiologies. Low arterial oxygen saturation within 1 hour after extubation is significantly associated with high mortality after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to identify associated risk factors. BACKGROUND Stroke/TIA after TAVR is a major complication. METHODS A total of 1919 concomitant patients underwent TAVR in a single center from 2007 to 2017. Pre-, intra-, and postprocedural data were collected prospectively in a database and analyzed retrospectively. Stroke and TIA were documented according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-II criteria. Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors for stroke after TAVR. RESULTS Mean age was 79.5 ± 6.8 years, mean logistic EuroScore was 17.6% ± 12.8%, and 51.8% (n = 994) of the patients were female. Stroke/TIA occurred in 76 patients (3.9%), 1.9% were disabling, and 1.6% nondisabling. The predominant type of stroke were territorial ischemic lesions (82.4%), with primary bleeding in 4.4% and border zone infarctions in 4.4%. Left-sided lesions were more common (45.6% left sided vs. 25% right sided) and 13.2% of the lesions were bilateral (4.4% no finding and 11.8% missing data). In multivariate logistic regression, prior stroke (odds ratio [OR] = 1.83, p = 0.046) and initial experience (first 300 TAVR implanted at our center) were identified as independent risk factors for stroke/TIA during the first 30 days (OR = 1.95, p = 0.045). Overall, the occurrence of stroke had a highly significant impact on a 30-day mortality (13.2% vs. 4.9% in patients without stroke (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Stroke within the first 30 days after TAVR severely impairs 30-day survival. We identified prior stroke and initial experience as significant independent risk factors for the occurrence of stroke after TAVR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to identify the prevalence of surgical reintervention on the neo-aorta after Norwood procedure and its impact on long-term outcomes. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent Norwood procedure. The impacts of surgical neoaortic reintervention on outcomes were analysed in each stage of palliation. RESULTS A total of 335 patients were included in this study. Thirty patients underwent surgical reintervention on the neo-aorta after Norwood procedure. The timing of initial reintervention was before stage II in 13 patients, at stage II in 7, between stage II and stage III in 5, at stage III in 3 and after stage III in 2. A reintervention before stage II was significantly associated with mortality (HR 14.4, 95% confidence interval 6.00-34.6, P < 0.001). In patients who underwent stage II (n = 251), reintervention had no significant impact on mortality. In patients who underwent stage III (n = 188), the previous reintervention was significantly associated with higher mean pulmonary pressure (P = 0.05) and a higher rate of reduced ventricular function (P = 0.002). Greater than mild atrioventricular valve regurgitation was significantly associated with the development of a neoaortic arch stenosis after stage II (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Surgical reinterventions on the neo-aorta were required in each inter-stage phase. A surgical neoaortic reintervention was not related to increased mortality after stage II but significantly associated with a higher rate of reduced ventricular function and elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure.

Abstract
The study objective was to compare the results after Norwood procedure between modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) and right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC) according to Sano in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and aortic atresia (AA). A total of 146 neonates with HLHS and AA who underwent the Norwood procedure at our institution between 2001 and 2020 were divided into 2 groups according to shunt type (MBTS or RVPAC). Survival after the Norwood procedure was compared between the groups. Longitudinal right ventricular and tricuspid valve function in each group were evaluated using cubic splines method. RVPAC was performed in 103 patients and MBTS in 43 according to surgeon preference. There were no differences in the 30-day mortality rates (16.5% vs 16.3%, P = 0.973). Survival at 0.5, 1 and 3 years was 79.6%, 74.6%, and 68.9% in RVPAC and 66.8%, 64.3%, and 58.5% in MBTS (P = 0.293). Among 23 patients undergoing tricuspid valve procedure, different mechanisms of tricuspid regurgitation were observed between the groups. Longitudinal analysis revealed greater prevalence of late right ventricular dysfunction in RVPAC patients. In 77 patients who completed Fontan procedure, the postoperative N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide value was significantly higher in RVPAC vs MBTS (554 vs 276 ng/L, P = 0.007). No survival advantage of RVPAC over MBTS was observed in neonates with HLHS and AA undergoing the Norwood procedure. Longitudinal analysis demonstrated a greater prevalence of right ventricular dysfunction and higher N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide values during late follow-up in patients with RVPAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dual-filter Sentinel™ Cerebral Protection System (Sentinel-CPS) is increasingly used during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, complex vascular anatomy may challenge Sentinel-CPS deployment. AIM OF THE STUDY We sought to investigate the impact of anatomic features of the aortic arch and the supra-aortic arteries on technical device failure of Sentinel-CPS application. METHODS Analysis of the multislice computed tomography pre-TAVR aortograms of all patients undergoing TAVR with Sentinel-CPS between 2016 and 2020 (n = 92) was performed. We investigated the impact of aortic arch anatomy, configuration, and the angles of the supra-aortic arteries, including the determination of vascular tortuosity index on device failure of Sentinel-CPS application. RESULTS The Sentinel-CPS was applied successfully in 83 patients (90.2%). Device failure in nine patients (9.8%) was due to the infeasibility to perform correct deployment of both filters (n = 7) and to obtain peripheral radial access (n = 2). Patients with a failure of Sentinel-CPS application had a higher right subclavian tortuosity index (217 [92-324] vs. 150 [42-252], p = .046), a higher brachiocephalic tortuosity index (27 [5-51] vs. 10 [0-102], p = 0.033) and a larger angulation of the brachiocephalic artery (59° [22-80] vs. 39° [7-104], p = .014) compared with patients with successful application. A brachiocephalic angle more than 59° was predictive for device failure. No differences in aortic arch anatomy or common carotid artery tortuosity were detected between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Brachiocephalic tortuosity was found to be associated with failure of Sentinel-CPS application. Filter-based usage should be avoided in TAVR patients with a brachiocephalic angle more than 59°.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study was aiming to determine whether high mean pulmonary artery pressure before bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt is a risk factor for late adverse events in patients with low pulmonary artery pressure before total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients undergoing both bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and TCPC with available cardiac catheterization data. RESULTS A total of 316 patients were included in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to mean pulmonary pressure: those with pre-Glenn <16 mmHg and pre-Fontan <10 mmHg (Group LL, n = 124), those with pre-Glenn ≥16 mmHg and pre-Fontan <10 mmHg (Group HL, n = 61), those with pre-Glenn <16 mmHg and pre-Fontan ≥10 mmHg (Group LH, n = 66) and those with pre-Glenn ≥16 mmHg and pre-Fontan ≥10 mmHg (Group HH, n = 65). Group HL showed significantly higher rate of adverse events after TCPC than Group LL (P = 0.02). In univariate linear analysis, a history of atrial septectomy at stage 1 palliation was associated with low pre-Glenn mean pulmonary artery pressure (Coefficient B -1.38, 95% confidence interval -2.53 to -0.24; P = 0.02), while pulmonary artery banding was a significant risk factor for elevated pre-Fontan mean pulmonary artery pressure (Coefficient B 1.68, 95% confidence interval 0.81 to 2.56, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS High mean pulmonary artery pressure before bidirectional cavopulmoary shunt (≥16mmHg) remains a significant risk factor for adverse events after TCPC even though mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased below 10 mmHg before TCPC.

Abstract
Background The Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna Ease prosthesis (PME) represents the latest generation of stented bioprostheses used for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The aim of our study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcome and hemodynamic performance of the prosthesis with a focus on the incidence and course of structural valve deterioration (SVD) by serial echocardiographic examinations. Methods SAVR with the PME was performed in 58 consecutive patients between 2007 and 2008. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed preoperatively, at discharge and annually during a 10-year follow-up at the German Heart Center Munich. Results Mean age at surgery was 62±14 years. At discharge (n=57), the overall mean pressure gradient (MPG) and effective orifice area (EOA) were 15.8±4.1 mmHg and 1.8±0.4 cm2, respectively. Moderate patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) was present in 18 patients (32%) and severe PPM in 6 patients (11%) at discharge. Ten years following SAVR (n=33), the overall MPG was 16.6±7.3 mmHg and EOA was 1.3±0.4 cm2.Thirty-day and late mortality was 2% (n=1) and 21% (n=12), respectively. Survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 94.7%±3.3%, 91.1%±4.1%, and 77.3%±5.9%, respectively. Freedom from reoperation at 10 years was 88.8%±4.7%. Ten years after PME implantation the cumulative incidence of any SVD, severe SVD, and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) was 25%±6%, 14%±5%, and 16%±5%, respectively. Conclusions The PME shows an excellent hemodynamic performance over the course of 10 years with development of clinically relevant SVD as late as 6 years post implant, and a 10-year incidence of severe SVD of 14%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES With improvements in early survival after the stage I palliation (S1P) Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and its variants, inter-stage death accounts for an increasing proportion of mortality. Our aim was to identify the risk factors for inter-stage mortality. METHODS The records of 322 neonates with HLHS or a variant who underwent the Norwood procedure at our centre between 2001 and 2019 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS The diagnoses included 271 neonates with HLHS (84%) and 51 with variants (16%). Aortic atresia was observed in 138 (43%) patients, mitral atresia in 91 (28%), extracardiac anomalies in 42 (13%) and genetic disorder in 14 (4%). The median age and weight of the patients at the S1P Norwood procedure were 9 (interquartile range: 7-12) days and 3.2 (2.9-3.5) kg, respectively. The median cardiopulmonary bypass time was 137 (107-163) min. Modified Blalock-Taussig shunts were used in 159 (49%) and unvalved right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunts in 163 (51%) patients. The number of inter-stage deaths was as follows: between S1P and stage II palliation (S2P), 61 including 38 early (<30 days) and 23 late (>30 days) deaths, and between S2P and stage III palliation, 32 deaths. Low birth weight (<2.5 kg) (odds ratio 4.37, P = 0.020) and restrictive atrial septum (odds ratio 2.97, P = 0.013) were identified as risks for early mortality. Low birth weight [hazard ratio (HR) 0.99/g, P = 0.002] was a risk for inter-stage mortality between S1P and S2P. Extracardiac anomalies (HR 4.75, P = 0.049) and significant pre-S1P atrioventricular valve regurgitation (HR: 7.72, P = 0.016) were risks for inter-stage mortality between S2P and stage III palliation. Other anatomical variables including aortic atresia, anatomical subtypes and the diameter of the ascending aorta nor shunt type were not identified as risk factors for mortality during any inter-stage period. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for inter-stage attrition after the Norwood procedure were different between each stage. Preoperative factors, including birth weight, restrictive atrial septum and extracardiac anomalies, adversely affected the inter-stage mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the results of tricuspid valve repair (TVr) in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome during staged reconstruction, focussing on the timing of the repair and the mechanisms of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). METHODS Records of 44 children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who underwent a total of 62 tricuspid valve (TV) procedures during staged reconstruction were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS TVr was performed before stage II in 4 (9%) patients, at stage II in 23 (52%) patients, between stages II and III in 3 (7%) patients and at stage III in 14 (32%) patients. The median age at the first TV procedure was 5 months. At surgery, TR emanated commonly from the anteroseptal commissure in 21 (48%) patients. Anterior leaflet prolapse was observed most frequently (n = 23; 52%), followed by septal leaflet restriction (n = 22; 50%), dilated annulus (n = 21; 48%) and cleft anterior leaflet (n = 9; 21%). Surgical techniques included commissuroplasty in 27 (61.4%) patients, leaflet adaptation in 20 (44%) patients, partial annuloplasty in 11 (25%) patients, chordal reconstruction in 10 (23%) patients and cleft closure in 10 (23%) patients. Among all 44 patients, 27 (61%) patients had preoperative grade III TR and 17 (39%) patients had grade IV; postoperatively, there were no patients with grade IV, 25 patients with grade III (57%), 10 patients with grade II (23%) and 6 patients with grade I (14%). Fifteen patients required redo TV surgeries. Reoperation-free survival was 52% at 5 years. Lower weight at initial TVr predicted mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 0.7, P = 0.044] and reoperation (HR 0.8, P = 0.015). TVr before stage II was a risk for both reoperation (HR 5.5, P = 0.042) and TV replacement (HR 36.9, P = 0.013). Among morphological factors, septal leaflet restriction was a risk for reoperation (HR 4.7, P = 0.017) and anterior (HR 4.7, P = 0.037) and posterior (HR 7.3, P = 0.015) leaflet chordal anomaly for TV replacement. CONCLUSIONS Anterior leaflet prolapse and septal leaflet restriction are the main mechanisms of TR in hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Early-onset TR before stage II predicts worse outcome. Refinements to repair techniques in early infancy, especially for septal leaflet restrictions and chordal anomalies, are mandatory to improve outcomes.

BACKGROUND We sought to determine long-term outcomes of primary Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure in patients with functional single ventricle and to compare the results to our historical control in whom pulmonary artery banding was performed before the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure at the German Heart Center of Munich between December 1994 and December 2019. RESULTS Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure was performed as an initial palliation in 52 patients (primary DKS group) and as a staged palliation following pulmonary artery banding in 24 patients (staged DKS group). The median follow up period after Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure was 8.9 years in the primary DKS group and 8.0 years in the staged DKS group. The survival rate at 10 years after Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure were 89% in primary DKS group and 68% in staged DKS group (log-rank: p= 0.04). Before total cavopulmonary connection, the pressure gradient thorough systemic ventricular outflow tract was significantly lower in primary DKS group than staged DKS group (p<0.001). At last follow-up echocardiography, reduced ventricular function was observed in 1 patient in primary DKS group and 7 patients in staged DKS group (p<0.001). The degree of neo aortic regurgitation was significantly higher in staged DKS group than in primary DKS group (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Primary Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure in patients with functional single ventricle and potential systemic ventricular outflow tract obstruction is recommended to obtain favorable long term survival with preserved ventricular function and competent semilunar valve function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ideal shunt for pulmonary blood flow, modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) or right ventricular-pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC) is yet to be determined. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes after the Norwood procedure according to the type of shunt. METHODS A total of 322 neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and related anomalies who underwent the Norwood procedure at our institution between 2001 and 2019 were divided into MBTS and RVPAC groups and the outcomes after the Norwood procedure were compared between the groups with respect to mortality after each staged procedure. RESULTS We identified 322 consequent patients who underwent neonatal Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (271 patients, 84.2%) and its variant (51 patients, 15.8%). RVPAC was performed in 163 (50.6%) patients and MBTS was performed in 159 (49.4%). There were no differences in the rate of early death (11.0% vs 12.6%, P = 0.69) or late death (7.4% vs 6.9%, P = 0.87) between the 2 groups after the Norwood procedure, and no significant difference in the number of patients who reached bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (77.9% vs 76.1%, P = 0.69), and there was no difference in mortality after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (12.3% vs 7.5%, P = 0.15) or Fontan completion rate (54.0% vs 52.2%, P = 0.42) between the 2 groups. Survival at 0.5, 1, 3 and 6 years after the Norwood procedure was 81.0%, 73.8%, 67.9% and 67.0% in patients with RVPAC and 77.1%, 73.3%, 69.1% and 67.9% in patients with MBTS. There was no significant difference in the survival between the 2 groups during the median follow-up of 2.6 (interquartile ranges: 0.3-8.4, maximal 18.8) years (P = 0.97). CONCLUSIONS In neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure, our available data of maximal 18.8 years follow-up showed no significant difference in early mortality, inter-stage attritions, or overall survival, between MBTS and RVPAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A common atrioventricular valve (CAVV) is considered to be a risk factor for early and late deaths in patients with functional single ventricle (FSV). CAVV surgery in patients with FSV is challenging and there is limited knowledge of the outcomes of CAVV repair with univentricular physiology. METHODS We reviewed all CAVV surgical procedures in patients with FSV who underwent univentricular palliation. End points of the study were survival after CAVV surgery and cumulative incidence of reoperation. RESULTS Between 1984 and 2019, 66 children with CAVV and FSV underwent single-ventricle palliation, of whom 45.5% (30/66) required CAVV surgery. Indication for surgery was moderate CAVV regurgitation in 40% (12/30) and severe CAVV regurgitation in 60% (18/30). CAVV repair was performed in 93.3% (28/30) and CAVV replacement in 6.7% (2/30). The median age and weight at surgery were 0.9 years (interquartile range 0.3-1.8) and 6.5 kg (interquartile range 3.9-8.7), respectively. Operative and late mortality were 23.3% and 8.7%, respectively. Survival and cumulative incidence of reoperation at 4 years after CAVV surgery were 68.9% [standard deviation (SD): 8.7] and 35.8% (SD: 9.1), respectively. Fontan completion was achieved in 60% (18/30). Survival at 4 years after birth was 69.7% (SD: 8.5) in 30 patients with CAVV surgery, whereas it was 83% (SD: 6.3) in 36 patients without CAVV surgery (P = 0.32). CONCLUSIONS CAVV surgery in patients with FSV is associated with substantial mortality and a high incidence of reoperation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Third-generation transcatheter heart valves (THV) are predominantly implanted through a percutaneous, transfemoral access. To reduce vascular complications, we selectively performed surgical vascular access (cutdown) in patients with particular calcified or small femoral arteries. We aim to review our experience with this approach. METHODS All patients who underwent transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a third-generation THV at our institution between March 2014 and April 2019 were included in the study. All available computerized tomography studies were reassessed for access vessel diameter and visual graduation of calcifications. Vascular complications are reported according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. RESULTS A total of 944 patients were included. Among them, 879 patients underwent a percutaneous access and 65 patients underwent surgical cutdown. Also, 459 Evolut R/PRO and 420 Sapien 3/ultra were implanted percutaneously and 40 Evolut R/PRO and 25 Sapien 3 were implanted with a surgical cutdown. Patients with surgical cutdown were older (80.0 ± 7.5 vs. 83.8 ± 7.5 years, p < 0.001), had smaller femoral arteries (8.0 ± 1.6 vs. 7.6 ± 1.6 mm, p = 0.034) and more severe vessel calcifications (17.5 vs. 1.0%, p < 0.001). Procedure time was similar for cutdown and percutaneous access (64.0 vs. 64.5 minutes, p = 0.879). With percutaneous access, 80 major vascular complications (10%) occurred, whereas with surgical cutdown, no major vascular complications occurred (p < 0.005). No wound infection occurred after surgical cutdown. The mean length of stay was 8 days in both groups. CONCLUSION Surgical cutdown for vascular access avoids vascular complications in patients with small or severely calcified femoral arteries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to identify the risk factors for prolonged length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) after a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) procedure and its impact on the number of deaths. METHODS In total, 556 patients who underwent BCPS between January 1998 and December 2019 were included in the study. RESULTS Eighteen patients died while in the ICU, and 35 died after discharge from the ICU. Reduced ventricular function was significantly associated with death during the ICU stay (P = 0.002). In patients who were discharged alive from the ICU, LOS in the ICU [hazard ratio (HR) 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.06; P < 0.001] and a dominant right ventricle (HR 2.41, 95% CI 1.03-6.63; P = 0.04) were independent risk factors for death. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified a cut-off value for length of ICU stay of 19 days. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.05; P = 0.04) was a significant risk factor for a prolonged ICU stay. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged LOS in the ICU with a cut-off value of 19 days after BCPS was a significant risk factor for mortality. High pulmonary artery pressure at BCPS was a significant risk factor for a prolonged ICU stay.

Abstract
Thrombus formation is a feared complication following bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS). We aimed to investigate the effect of thrombus formation on outcome. BCPS was performed in 525 patients at our center between 1998 and 2018. The impacts of thrombus formation on survival and probability of Fontan completion were analyzed, and risk factors for thrombus formation were examined. Thrombus formation occurred in 30 patients (5.7%). Compared with the remaining 495 patients, there was no significant difference in the median age at BCPS (4.9 vs 4.7 months; P = 0.587). However, unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects (17 vs 5%; P = 0.008) and preoperative ventricular dysfunction (23.3 vs 8%; P = 0.004) were more frequent in patients who developed a thrombus. Thrombolytic therapy was performed in all patients and surgical thrombus removal was required in 13 patients. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with thrombus (30.0 vs 2.2%; P < 0.001). Of 505 hospital survivors, an estimated survival at 1 year after hospital discharge following BCPS was 84.4% (95% CI, 76.1-92.7%) in patients with thrombus and 96.8% (95% CI, 96.0-97.6%) in those without (P < 0.001). Cumulative incidence of Fontan completion at 3 years after BCPS was 52.8% (95% CI, 30.3-75.2%) in patients with thrombus and 90.1% (95% CI, 87.2-92.9%) in those without (P = 0.004). Higher left atrial pressure (OR = 1.165; P = 0.029) and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR = 1.013, P = 0.001) at BCPS were independent risk factors for thrombus formation after BCPS. Thrombus formation after BCPS poses a significant risk for survival and Fontan completion. Preoperative higher left atrial pressure and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time are significant risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES For tailored treatment of primary mitral regurgitation (MR), surgeons developed different repair techniques. One of them, the edge-to-edge repair has recently seen a revival, especially for Barlow's disease. METHODS This study was designed to assess the outcomes of the edge-to-edge technique in mitral valve (MV) repair. Preoperative, periprocedural, and postoperative data were prospectively collected in a dedicated database and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Between March 1999 and July 2019, a total of 152 patients (mean age: 60 ± 13) received an edge-to-edge repair combined with annuloplasty for degenerative MR at our institution. MR resulted from posterior leaflet prolapse in 23 patients (15.1%), anterior leaflet prolapse in 19 (12.5%), and bileaflet prolapse in 110 (72.4%). Of those who had a bileaflet prolapse, 91 (82.7%) had Barlow's disease. Follow-up was complete in 97.4% (6.4 ± 5.7 years). Echocardiographic assessment was achieved in 85.5% (5.1 ± 5.6 years). Overall survival after 10 years was 73.7 ± 5.0%. Twelve patients required valve-related reoperations due to ring dehiscence (n = 2), leaflet suture dehiscence (n = 2), progression of native valve disease (n = 6), or due to device failure (ring fracture) (n = 2). The cumulative incidence of valve-related reoperation at 10 years was 8.4 ± 3.0% (5.2 ± 4.1% in patients with Barlow's disease). At latest follow-up, echocardiography revealed excellent valve function with no or mild MR in 93 patients (88.6%). The mean gradient was 2.9 ± 1.3 mmHg at discharge and decreased to 2.4 ± 1.3 mmHg. Three patients (2.8%) had more than moderate MR. CONCLUSION Edge-to-edge MV repair is a simple method with excellent results in terms of valvular function and durability especially in patients with Barlow's disease.

Abstract
Genetic factors undoubtedly affect the development of congenital heart disease (CHD) but still remain ill defined. We sought to identify genetic risk factors associated with CHD and to accomplish a functional analysis of SNP-carrying genes. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 4034 White patients with CHD and 8486 healthy controls. One SNP on chromosome 5q22.2 reached genome-wide significance across all CHD phenotypes and was also indicative for septal defects. One region on chromosome 20p12.1 pointing to the MACROD2 locus identified 4 highly significant SNPs in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Three highly significant risk variants on chromosome 17q21.32 within the GOSR2 locus were detected in patients with anomalies of thoracic arteries and veins (ATAV). Genetic variants associated with ATAV are suggested to influence the expression of WNT3, and the variant rs870142 related to septal defects is proposed to influence the expression of MSX1. We analyzed the expression of all 4 genes during cardiac differentiation of human and murine induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro and by single-cell RNA-Seq analyses of developing murine and human hearts. Our data show that MACROD2, GOSR2, WNT3, and MSX1 play an essential functional role in heart development at the embryonic and newborn stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative mortality is high and long-term survival is poor for patients on hemodialysis undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) offers a safe and effective therapy for high-risk patients suffering from aortic valve stenosis. However, in patients on hemodialysis only limited information is available on the outcome following TAVR. METHODS Of the 2613 consecutive patients in our single-center TAVR registry, all hemodialysis patients, were identified. Demographics, procedural details, clinical outcomes, mortality, and complications were evaluated. RESULTS Forty-two hemodialysis patients with a mean age of 75.2±8.2 years, a mean STS predicted risk of mortality of 11.1±9.5% and a mean logEuroScore of 27.9±18.8% underwent TAVR. Mean duration on hemodialysis prior to intervention was 62.8±49.6 months. A transfemoral access was chosen in 24 patients, a transapical in 16, and a transaxillary and a transaortic in one patient, respectively. Estimated survival at 30 days, one, three and five years was 83.3%, 68.3%, 37.7% and 18.9%, respectively. Estimated median survival was 1.8±0.4 years. VARC-2 defined perioperative complications included stroke in 7.1% (3/42), major bleeding in 16.7% (7/42), and vascular complications in 7.1% (3/42). In two patients, echocardiographic examination at three and four years, respectively, showed evidence for structural valve deterioration. CONCLUSION A high number of patients with ESRD undergoing TAVR require a non-transfemoral access. Predominantly, bleeding events contribute to the perioperative morbidity. An estimated median survival of less than two years after TAVR allows only limited assessment of valve prosthesis durability. Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality contribute equally to the causes of death beyond the first year after TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A Konno operation with a mechanical prosthesis may be applied in patients with complex left ventricular outflow tract obstruction to avoid further operations. We reviewed our 20-year experience with the Konno operation. METHODS All patients who underwent the Konno operation between 1996 and 2015 were evaluated. Study end points were survival and reoperations. RESULTS Twenty-one consecutive patients were included. The median age at operation was 12 years (5 months to 34 years). Twenty (95%) patients had prior interventions for left-sided heart lesions. Additional mitral valve disease was present in 17 (81%) patients. The preoperative mean pressure gradient over the left ventricular outflow tract was 50 ± 25 mm Hg. The median size of implanted valve prostheses was 21 mm (16-25 mm). Concomitant procedures for left-sided heart lesions were performed in six patients, including two mitral valve replacements. There were two hospital mortalities (9.5%) and four late mortalities (19%). Overall survival was 85% ± 7.8% and 72% ± 11% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. In two patients, mitral valve replacement was performed during the same hospital admission. During a mean follow-up time of 7.6 ± 4.8 years, two patients required late reoperations, one for mitral valve replacement and one for heart transplantation. Freedom from late reoperation at 10 years was 89% ± 7.4%. CONCLUSIONS The Konno operation can be considered as a definitive option with a low probability of reoperation on the left ventricular outflow tract in patients with complex left ventricular heart disease. Subsequent operations focus on the treatment of additional mitral valve disease, which remains the cause of mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examines the impact of anatomical and procedural factors on Valve Academic Research Consortium-2-defined vascular complications at the femoral access site in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with third generation transcatheter heart valve (THV)-systems. BACKGROUND Randomized clinical trials reported on vascular complications with current THV-systems. However, clinical presentation and consequences of these events are not well studied. METHODS All patients who underwent a transfemoral TAVR using an Edwards Sapien3®/Sapien3ultra® or a Medtronic Evolut-R®/Evolut-PRO® have been identified from our institutional database. Only procedures utilizing the PerClose-ProGlide® vascular closure device were included. Risk factors for vascular complications were analyzed with a logistic regression model. Preoperative and procedural data were collected. The postoperative course of patients with and without vascular complications was compared. RESULTS A total of 878 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 152 patients (17.3%) had an access-site related vascular complication (87 major complications, 9.9%). Sheath-to-femoral-artery-ratio (SFAR) (OR per 0.1 increase = 1.35, p < .001) and more than 2 vessel entries with large bore sheaths (OR = 1.76, p = .029) were independent risk factors for vascular complications. Female gender (OR = 1.44, p = .07) and two vessel entries with large bore sheaths (OR = 1.2, p = .53) increased the risk, although no statistical significance was shown. Age (OR = 1.07, p = .62), body mass index (OR = 1.1 per 5 points, p = .32) and vessel wall calcification at puncture site (OR = 0.93, p = .7) had no influence on vascular complications. Patients with vascular complications had a higher need for blood transfusion (p < .001) and a higher in-hospital mortality (2.6 vs. 0.4%, p = .019). CONCLUSIONS Procedural risk assessment should include SFAR calculation and consider the need for large bore sheath exchange. This might reduce the vascular trauma, lower vascular complication rates and improve the clinical outcome after TAVR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate tricuspid valve function and adverse events after conventional repair and valve replacement for Ebstein's anomaly and compare them with cone repair. METHODS The medical records of 151 patients (mean age, 25 years; 62% were female) who underwent operation in a single center from 1985 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. To determine tricuspid valve regurgitation during follow-up, serial echocardiographic examination was used (n = 2397, tricuspid regurgitation grades were graphed for every patient). RESULTS Thirty-nine patients underwent cone repair, 107 patients underwent other repair techniques, and 5 patients underwent valve replacement. The operative mortality was 1.3% (n = 2). Failed valve repair (defined as in-hospital death, conversion to replacement, or in-hospital reoperation) was less frequent after cone repair than after other repair techniques (5%, n = 2 vs 20%, n = 21, P = .039). Mean follow-up was 12.3 years (cone repair: 3.7 years). The 5-year cumulative incidence of moderate or greater recurrent tricuspid regurgitation was lower after cone repair than after other repair techniques (8% vs 32%, P = .03). Among the patients undergoing other repair techniques, the 15-year cumulative incidence of moderate or greater recurrent tricuspid regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and reoperation was 58%, 37%, and 31%, respectively. During follow-up, 18 patients died (13 of cardiac and 5 of noncardiac causes). Among patients who died of cardiac causes, 10 of 13 had all 3 characteristics-moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation, atrial fibrillation, and New York Heart Association classification III and IV-at their last medical evaluation. CONCLUSIONS Before cone repair, recurrent tricuspid regurgitation was considerable. Cone repair provided a higher rate of successful repair and a lower incidence of moderate or greater recurrent tricuspid regurgitation at the midterm follow-up.

Abstract
Bilateral superior vena cava (SVC), which occurs following bilateral bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS), is an anomaly marked by unique hemodynamics. This study aimed to determine its effects on outcomes after Fontan completion. Among 405 patients who underwent BCPS and total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) between 1997 and 2017, 40 required a bilateral-BCPS. The dominant SVC prior to TCPC was identified according to the direction of blood flow in the central pulmonary artery, and its relationship to the inferior vena cava (IVC) was classified as a concordant or discordant relationship. Preoperative factors were analyzed to identify the risk factors for specific adverse outcomes. The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay after TCPC was longer in the 40 patients who underwent bilateral-BCPS than in those who underwent unilateral BCPS (p = 0.024), and the survival rate was lower in the former group than in the latter group (p = 0.004). In the patients who underwent bilateral-BCPS, the dominant SVC was concordant with the IVC in 30 patients and discordant in 10 patients. With regard to whether certain morphological, hemodynamic, and flow dynamics-related variables were risk factors for adverse outcomes following TCPC, a discordant relationship between dominant SVC and IVC was identified as an independent risk factor for both a longer ICU stay (p = 0.037, HR 2.370) and worse survival (p = 0.019, HR 13.880). Therefore, in patients with a bilateral SVC who have previously undergone bilateral-BCPS, a discordant relationship between dominant SVC and IVC might contribute to worse outcomes following TCPC.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of an early extubation strategy on the outcome following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection.
METHODS
From 1999 through 2017, 458 patients underwent extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection; 257 (56%) patients were managed with an early extubation strategy adopted in 2009 (group A). Their outcome was compared with those of 201 (44%) patients treated before 2009 (group B). In group A, the outcome of unstable patients, defined as >75th percentile for volume administered and inotrope scores, was compared with those of stable patients.
RESULTS
Ventilation time (median: 4 h vs 16 h, P < 0.001), fluid volume administered during the first 24 h (mean: 110 ml/kg vs 164 ml/kg, P = 0.003), chest tube duration (median: 3 days vs 4 days, P = 0.028) and length of intensive care unit stay (median: 6 days vs 7 days, P = 0.001) were less in group A than in group B. The reintubation rate (7% vs 6%, P = 0.547) and early mortality (0.8% vs 1.5%, P = 0.465) were similar between groups. The 80 unstable group A patients received more inotropic support (P < 0.001) and fluid volume (P < 0.001) than stable patients, but the ventilation time (6 h vs 5 h, P = 0.220), the reintubation rate (10% vs 6%, P = 0.283) and the length of intensive care unit stay (7 days vs 6 days, P = 0.590) were similar. In unstable patients, mean arterial pressure before extubation was significantly lower than stable patients (P = 0.001). However, mean arterial pressure in unstable patients increased significantly (P < 0.001) soon after extubation, and became similar to the value in stable patients.
CONCLUSIONS
Early extubation following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection improves postoperative haemodynamics and recovery regardless of the initial haemodynamic status.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for the development of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) after the arterial switch operation (ASO).
Methods Between 1983 and 2014, a total of 688 patients underwent ASO. RVOTO was defined as any obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) requiring reintervention.
Results RVOTO developed in 79 patients (11%) at a median time of 3.8 years (range, 1 day–23.6 years) after ASO. Freedom from RVOT reintervention was 96 ± 1, 89 ± 1, and 83 ± 2% at 1, 10, and 25 years, respectively. Independent risk factors for the development of RVOTO in a Cox's regression model were side-by-side great arteries (p < 0.001), aortic arch anomalies (p < 0.001), use of a pericardial patch for augmentation of the coronary buttons (p < 0.001), and a peak gradient more than 20 mm Hg over the RVOT at discharge (p < 0.001).
Conclusion The incidence of RVOTO after ASO is not negligible. Complex morphology, such as side-by-side great arteries and aortic arch anomalies influences the development of RVOTO.
