ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#The integrated model of prenatal diagnosis and postnatal treatment for congenital heart disease (CHD) leads to an increasing number of operation in infants. This study aims to reveal the risk factors for postoperative early mortality and delayed recovery in infants less than 3 months old, who underwent surgical treatment for CHD in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University during the past 5 years.@*METHODS@#Clinical variables were collected via medical records. Delayed recovery was defined as the time of postoperative intubation, or cardiac intensive cure unit (CICU) stay, or hospital stay longer than its third quartile. Risk factors for early postoperative prognosis and the odds ratio (OR) were analyzed with logistic regression analysis.@*RESULTS@#A total of 511 infants underwent surgical treatment for CHD from January 2016 to June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, including 217 (42.5%) infants with complex CHD. The median age was 60 days (3 hours-90 days); and median weight was 4.5 (1.7- 8.4 kg). There were 26 postoperative mortalities, making the incidence at 5.1%, including 5 (5/294, 0.7%) mortalities in patients with uncomplicated CHD, and 21 (9.6%) mortalities in patients with complex CHD. Based on multivariable analysis, risk factors for postoperative mortality were diagnosis of complex CHD (OR=5.53, P<0.001), weight under 4.0 kg (OR=9.86, P<0.001), preoperative symptoms (OR=3.17, P=0.012), and emergency operation (OR=11.66, P<0.001). The median time for postoperative intubation, CICU stay, and hospital stay were 21.0 (0.3-979.0) hours, 3.0 (0.5-91.0) days, and 11.5 (3.0-105.0) days, respectively. A total of 177 (34.6%) infants delayed recover, with risk factors including diagnosis of complex CHD (OR=3.41, P=0.001), weight under 4.0 kg (OR=4.55, P<0.001), and preoperative symptoms (OR=3.91, P<0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Surgical treatment for infants (<3 months) with CHD is still a challenge, particularly for infants with complex CHD and weight under 4.0 kg. We can improve the prognosis of CHD treatment in infants by establishing the integrated model of prenatal diagnosis and postnatal treatment to choose the most suitable time window, avoid symptoms before surgery, and reduce emergency operation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#Due to the lack of large-sized pulmonary valved conduit products in clinical practice, hand-sewn expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) valved conduit has been used for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction in many heart centers around the world. This study aims to summarize the early results of the ePTFE valved conduit and the sewing technology of the conduit in combination with the latest progress, and to provide a reference for the application of ePTFE valved conduit.@*METHODS@#A total of 21 patients using ePTFE valved conduit for RVOT reconstruction in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from October 2018 to October 2020 were prospectively enrolled in this study. The age at the implantation of the conduit was 4.3 to 43.8 (median 15.1) years old, with weight of (38.9±4.1) kg. In this cohort, 14 patients underwent re-reconstruction of RVOT, including 12 patients with pulmonary regurgitation at 6.3 to 31.0 (median 13.8) years after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair, and 2 patients with failed bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC). Seven patients underwent Ross operations. Among them, 3 were for aortic valve stenosis, 2 were for aortic regurgitation, and 2 were for both stenosis and regurgitation. The ePTFE valved conduits were standard hand-sewn during the surgery. The 3 leaflets were equal in size with arc-shaped lower edge of the valve sinus. The free edge of the valve leaflets was straight with the length of about 1 mm longer than the diameter. The height of the valve sinus was 4/5 of the diameter. The junction of the valve leaflet was 3/4 of the height of the sinus. The designed leaflets were then continuous non-penetrating sutured into the inner surface of Gore-Tex vessel to make a valved conduit. Valved conduits with diameter of 18, 20, and 22 mm were used in 2, 9, and 10 cases, respectively. The surgical results, postoperative recovery time, and serious complications were summarized, and the changes of postoperative cardiac function status and hemodynamic status of the conduits were investigated.@*RESULTS@#During the implantation of ePTFE valved conduit for RVOT reconstruction, 2 patients underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement with Ross operation, 2 patients with pulmonary regurgitation with repaired TOF underwent left and right pulmonary artery angioplasty, and 1 patient with failed BJVC underwent tricuspid valvuloplasty. The cardiopulmonary bypassing time for patients underwent re-reconstruction of RVOT was (130.9±16.9) min, with aorta clamping for 1 patient to repair the residual defect of the ventricular septum. The cardiopulmonary bypassing and aorta clamping time for Ross operation were (242.7±20.6) min and (145.6±10.5) min, respectively. The duration of postoperative ventilator assistance, intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay were 3.5 h to 7.7 d (median 17.1 h),11.2 h to 29.5 d (median 1.9 d), and 6.0 to 56.0 (median 13.0) d, respectively. All patients survived after discharge from hospital. The follow-up rate after discharge was 100% with median time at 15.0 (13.0 to 39.0) months. No death happened during the follow-up. One patient underwent stent implantation due to right coronary stenosis 2 months after Ross operation. One patient underwent balloon dilation due to right pulmonary artery ostium stenosis 1 year after re-reconstruction of RVOT. The cardiac function of all patients recovered to NYHA class I 6 months after operation. The peak pressure gradient across the valve measured by transthoracic echocardiography before discharge was (9.4±2.6) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and (18.3±6.1) mmHg at the last follow-up. There was no significant increase in the gradient during the follow-up (P=0.134). No patient suffered from mild or more pulmonary regurgitation.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Hand-sewn ePTFE valved conduit is feasible for RVOT reconstruction. It is a promising material for RVOT reconstruction which can effectively meet clinical need. In our experience, the ePTFE valved conduit is simple to manufacture with satisfactory early outcomes.In the application of ePTFE valved conduit, attention should be paid to implantation indications and postoperative anticoagulation management, especially to the preparation details of the valved conduit, to obtain better function and durability of the conduit after implantation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To explore the method and significance of prenatal counseling in cardiac surgery for fetal congenital heart disease (CHD).@*METHODS@#The prenatal counseling should be provided by experienced CHD experts. The preliminary clinical diagnosis based on relevant data was carried out, the prognosis risk for fetal CHD was graded, and the pathophysiological process and potential hazards of the disease were analyzed. The current condition of CHD in the treatment plan, the long-term quality of life, and the special requirements of parturition in place, period and mode were described. A reliable follow-up system of the fetuses was established, the diagnosis after delivery was verified, and surgical treatment was carried out timely.@*RESULTS@#From January 2016 to December 2018, 225 parents with fetal CHD received prenatal counseling, including 60 fetuses (26.7%) with simple CHD and 165 (73.3%) with complex CHD, among which 59 cases (98.3%) and 93 cases (56.4%) decided to continue the pregnancy, respectively. During the follow-up, 118 fetuses were born, of which 66 infants received surgical treatment within 6 months after birth, 63 infants (95.5%) recovered and 3 infants (4.5%) died. The rest 52 infants continued to be followed up.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The prenatal counseling for fetal CHD can provide the parents a comprehensive medical information about CHD, which is beneficial to making appropriate pregnancy decisions, and can turn the fetuses from unreasonable birth and passive treatment to selective birth and active treatment in CHD.

ABSTRACT

To analyse the clinical data of reoperations in congenital heart disease and discuss the management strategy of reoperation for congenital heart disease.
 Methods: We retrospectively studied the clinical data for patients underwent reoperation in congenital heart disease in Cardiovascular Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2007 to December 2015. Demographic and operative details, in-hospital mortality and major postoperative complications were analysed.
 Results: A total of 8 647 congenital heart disease surgery procedures were performed, including 147 (1.7%) reoperations. Among the patients, residual septal defect repair (30 cases, 20.4%), planed staged operation (28 cases, 19.0%), and Fontan procedure (20 cases, 13.6%) were the most common kinds of reoperation. In addition, 140 (95%) operations were through repeat sternotomies, 144 (98%) patients underwent operation with cardiopulmonary bypass, and 100 (68%) with cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross clamp were maintained for 21-447 (135.5±87.8) minutes and 0-202 (49.9±49.7) minutes. There were 10 in-hospital deaths with a total mortality of 6.8%. The major complications included low cardiac output syndrome (24 cases, 16.3%), renal dysfunction (7 cases, 4.8%), respiratory insufficiency (14 cases, 9.5%), unplanned reoperations for drainage of haemorrhagic cardiac tamponade (4 cases), and delayed sternal closure (2 cases).
 Conclusion: Repeat sternotomy is the main way of reoperation, but it is not a major risk for operative mortality and morbidity. Improving the management of complex malformation, standardizing the follow-up, choosing the right timing of surgery, and reducing surgical complications will help reduce the risk of reoperation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To improve the hemocompatibility of decellular vascular matrix via heparin-iron complex multilayers (HICMs) nanomodification.@*METHODS@#A novel thrombo-resistant surface for decellular xenograft was developed by alternating linkage of dihydroxy-iron and heparin to decellular bovine jugular vein (DC-BJV), and its surface characterization, biomechanical stability and hemocompatibility were detected by scanning electron microscopy, tensile test and hemocompatibility evaluation, respectively.@*RESULTS@#A toluidine blue colorimetric method indicated the amount of linked heparin was about (808±86) μg/cm2 per assembly-cycle. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images proved that HICMs were uniformly linked to and formed nanoscale films around the fibrils of DC-BJV. Toluidine blue staining histologic images showed that HICMs were linked mainly to DC-BJV surfaces. Washing test showed that the release of heparin was (281±43), (422 ± 60), (729±81), (1053±116), (1317±157), (1618±187) and (1945 ± 268 ) μg/cm(2) at 1 day, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 week washing, respectively. Tensile tests showed an increased biomechanical stability. Hemocompatibility evaluations showed that PT and APTT of all the trial groups were above the normal reference ranges and that mean platelet count per 10000 μm2 area was 8±4 for HICMs layer-by-layer modified BJV (LBL-BJV) vs 48±16 for DC-BJV.@*CONCLUSION@#HICMs are firmly linked to DC-BJV, and can form nanoscale thrombo-resistant films, which yield a sustained release of heparin. HICMs nanomodification improves the hemocompatibility of decellular xenograft.

ABSTRACT

Objective Xenografts have poor biocompatibilities,the aim of this study was to improve the biocompatibilities of decellular xenografts via heparin/dihydroxy-iron complex multilayeres (HDCMs) nanomodification.Methods A novel thrombo-resistant surface for decellular xenograft had been developed by alternating linkage of dihydroxy-iron and heparin to decellular bovine jugular vein (DC-BJV),and surface characterization and biocompatibility of HDCMs nanomodified BJV (HDCMs-BJV) were detected.Results Toluidine blue colorimetric method showed the amount of linked heparin was about (808 ±86) μg/cm2 per assembly-cycle.SEM images proved HDCMs were uniformly linked to and formed nanoscale films around the fibrils of DC-BJV.Washing test proved HDCMs were firmly linked to BJV and sustainedly released heparin for a long time.Tensile test showed that biomechanical stability was increased.Antithrombogenicity test showed that the activated partial thrombin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) of all trial groups were above the normal reference ranges.Platelet adhesion test evaluated mean platelet count per 10 000 μm2 area was 8 ±4 for HDCMs-BJV vs.48 ± 16 for DC-BJV.Endothelial cells (ECs) proliferation test showed the number and activity of ECs on luminal surface of HDCMs-BJV were very similar to DC-BJV at 7-day incubation.Calcium content assay evaluated mean calcium content was ( 8.5 ± 1.9 ) μg/mg dry weight for HDCMs-BJV vs.(26.6 ± 3.7) μg/mg dry weight for DC-BJV at 4 weeks and (21.5 ± 6.8 ) μg/mg dry weight for HDCMsBJV vs.( 112.6 ± 16.9) μg/mg dry weight for DC-BJVs at 8 weeks,respectively.Conclusion These results demonstrate HDCMs were firmly linked to BJV and formed nanoscale thrombo-resistant films,and HDCMs nanomodification improves biocompatibilities of decellular xenograft.

ABSTRACT

Objective To increase the mechanic characteristic of bovine jugular veins conduit (BJVC) by combined knitted stent outside made of nylon fiber. Methods Get rid of the cells of BJVC by enzymolysis, then combined a fabric stent with a acellular bovine jugular vein conduit that cross-linked dealed by photooxidation method to improve the mechanic function of BJVC. To compare the mechanical function and histology change of BJVC combined with fiber stent outside with that of BJVC only without stent. BJVC combined with fiber stent outside was divided into experiment group and the latter into control group. Two roller pumps on cardiopulmonary bypass unit were designed to simulate the pulmonary circulation. One produce the stream, and the other assist to bring a certain pressure by regulating a degree of tightness. The pressure of forward stream was used in messuring extension rate and leakage volume of two BJVC groups, and the pressure of backward stream was used in messuring the regurgitation volume. Results Set the formula to calculate the rate of variation of BJVC diameter under a certain pressure or not. The experiment group extension rate was zero under pressure of 10-20 mm Hg, about ( 7.7 ± 2.3 ) % under pressure of 40 mm Hg, until 60 mm Hg to ( 11.4 ± 3.1 ) %. While the control group reached about ( 14.8 ± 4.7 ) % at 20mm Hg already. There was no regurgitation volume of the experiment group under pressure of 30 mm Hg vs. the control group' s reached 34ml/min at 30 mm Hg while the two groups were same under pressure that lower than 20 mm Hg. When the pressure higher, the difference between the two groups more notable. There was no leakage of the BJVCs with fabric stent till pressure from 40 mmHg to 60mmHg, vs. the control group 1,5, 13 ml/min at pressure 30, 40, 60 mm Hg. Except the regurgitation and leakage volumes under pressure at 10 -20 mm Hg, as the two numerical values were both zero that can not be caculated by the statistic software, the differences of the two groups above had statistics significance. In vivo, 9 dogs received bovine jugular vein conduit transplant procedure to observe the mechanic fnction and tissue reaction. Five adopted B.JVC with stent and four just BJVC only. Six month later after the transplant procedure, there was no significant difference between the two groups but more inflaming cells than the former group, especially at the location round the nylon fibers. Through the observation in HE stain, that was considered as foreign body reaction. Conclusion Fabric stent can improve the mechanical function of BJVC and relatively easy to get.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for congenital heart disease (CHD) with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH).@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the treatment of 37 CHD patients with severe PH by UVP in the operation, and summarized its short-term to mid-term effect to find an optimum therapeutic regimen.@*RESULTS@#Before the operation, the ECG showed that the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) ranged 65-72 mmHg, and the cardiac catheterization showed the pulmonary artery pressure ranged 80-120 mmHg, P(P)/P(A) ranged 0.8-1.05,PVR ranged 8.5-19.2 (under oxygen inhalation 6.8-14.6) wood unit.After the operation, P(P)/P(A) ranged 0.4-0.72 on weaning-off CPB. Postoperative ECG showed the MPAP ranged 32-48 mmHg. No pulmonary hypertension crisis occurred and no patient died. Mechanical ventilation time ranged from 32 h to 8 d and the SaO₂ ranged 93%-96% at rest after the extubation.The right-to-left shunt situations by ECG were as follows:22 cases had shunt 5 d after the operation, 11 cases had shunt 1 month after the operation,4 cases 3 months after the operation, and none 1 year after the operation but one patient lost follow-up.However,there were no long-term follow-up data: 12 patients had a 1-year follow-up, 5 patients had a 3-year follow-up, and most patients had just 3-month follow-up.@*CONCLUSION@#UVP can decrease the operative risk in CHD with severe PH at perioperative period. The short-term to mid-term effect is satisfactory, while long-term effect remains uncertain.
