ABSTRACT

Objective:

To summarize and analyze the efficacy, experience and follow-up results of 300 cases of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) intervened by arterial switch operation.

Methods:

It was a retrospective, single-center study involving 300 TGA patients intervened by arterial switch operation between January 2010 and December 2017 in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital.Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.There were 236 male patients and 64 females.Among them, 128 cases (42.7%) were TGA with ventricular septal defect (TGA/VSD), and 172 cases (57.3%) were TGA with intact ventricular septal defect (TGA/IVS). The mean age and weight at operation were (23.8±39.2) cases days, and (3.5±0.8) kg, respectively.There were 193 cases (64.3%) with usual coronary artery patterns, and 107 cases (35.7%) with unusual coronary artery patterns.Among the 107 cases with unusual coronary artery patterns, 21 cases (7.0%) were involved with the intramural coronary artery, and 17 (5.7%) presented the single-ostium coronary pattern.Non normal distribution data were used the Mann- Whitney U test.Categorical measures were compared by Chi- square test or Fisher′ s exact test.Survival probability and freedom from events were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and difference in survival probability by the Log Rank test.

Results:

All patients were successfully intervened by arterial switch operation, 73.3% of patients with TGA/IVS underwent the surgery within 3 weeks after birth, and 85.9% of patients with TGA/VSD underwent surgery within 3 months.The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic occlusion time were (193±68) min, and (122±39) min, respectively.Twenty-five patients (8.3%) died in hospital.Thirty cases had low cardiac output syndrome, 1 implanted with a permanent pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block.A total of 254 patients were followed up for 1 month to 10 years.Three patients with single-ostium coronary pattern died at the follow-up period.The 5-year and 10-year survival rates were both 90.7%.During the follow-up, 49 cases (49/254 cases, 19.3%) had pulmonary artery stenosis, 66 cases (66/254 cases, 26.0%) had aortic valve regurgitation, 47 cases (47/254 cases, 18.5%) had pulmonary valve regurgitation, and 4 (4/254 cases, 1.6%) had aortic anastomotic stenosis.Among the 21 patients (21/254 cases, 8.3%) requiring reintervention, 17 patients (17/254 cases, 6.7%) underwent a total of 18 reinterventions, including 12 interventions of pulmonary artery plasty, 4 of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, 1 of aortic reconstruction at anastomosis and 1 of pacemaker exchange due to battery exhaustion.

Conclusions:

Arterial switch operation is the optimal treatment for TGA.The long-term follow-up results of arterial switch operation are satisfactory in TGA children, with a low risk of long-term reoperation.
