ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical application of total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique.Methods:
Between May 2000 and December 2002, 9 patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection without cardiopulmonary bypass. The patients were 5 males and 4 females, mean age (10.3?6.4) years, ranged 4~24 years and mean body surface area (0.95?0.35) m 2, range 0.65~1.66 m 2. SpO 2 before operation was (73?6)% (60%~80%). Pulmonary pressure was (12.7?2.4) mmHg (10~16 mmHg) at operation.Results:
Patient died after surgery. Chylothorax occurred in 1 patient. 2 patients were reoperated for fenestration between the extracardiac conduit and right atrial during the early postoperative period. All survivors were noncyanotic, the average SpO 2 on breathing air was (94?3)% (89%~97%). On d ischarged.Conclusion:
Total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique is a useful procedure in management of patients with a functional univentricular heart. It is easy to perform. However, much remains to be studied about this unique physiologic status.
