The management of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and risk factors for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the treatment strategies and experiences of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and study the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO).Methods:Clinical data of 125 children with TAPVC in the Children Heart Center of Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were included in this study and analyzed retrospectively.Of the 125 cases, 116 were treated surgically.They were divided into 2 groups according to whether PVO appeared after repair of TAPVC.The t-test or chi- square test was used to compare the clinical data of the 2 groups, and Logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the risk factors for postoperative PVO. Results:Among the 116 patients undergoing surgery, including 73 males (62.9%) and 43 females (37.1%), and according to Darling′s classification, there were 58 cases (50.0%) of supracardiac, 35 cases(30.2%)of intracardiac, 15 cases(12.9%) of infracardiac and 8 cases (6.9%) of mixed.The median age and body weight during surgery were 3.0 (1.2, 7.0) months and 5.0 (4.0, 6.8) kg.There were 13 deaths (11.2%), and recurrent PVO was observed in 18 patients (15.9%). Statistically significant diffe-rences were observed in terms of Darling′s classification (supracardiac 27.8% vs.56.6%, intracardiac 27.8% vs.31.6%, infracardiac 27.8% vs.10.5%, mixed 16.6% vs.5.3%, χ2=8.571, P=0.036) of PVO group and non-PVO group after operation preoperative PVO (83.3% vs.21.1%, χ2=25.293, P<0.01), with confluence (55.6% vs.81.1%, χ2=6.049, P=0.014), preoperative critical state (83.3% vs.31.6%, χ2=12.938, P<0.01), cardiopulmonary bypass time[ (128.800±47.254) min vs.(106.700±37.288) min, t=-2.094, P=0.039 ], delayed thoracic closure(27.8% vs.5.3%, χ2=6.227, P=0.013), and anastomotic velocity at 1 day after operation[1.0(0.9, 1.4) m/s vs.0.9(0.8, 1.1) m/s, Z=-2.004, P=0.045], anastomotic velocity at 1 week after operation[1.4 (1.3, 1.8) m/s vs.0.9 (0.7, 1.1) m/s, Z=-4.446, P<0.001], and mechanical ventilation time[121.0 (76.8, 246.9) h vs.91.5 (60.4, 135.9) h, Z=-1.989, P=0.047]. All of these data were included in the Logistic regression analysis.The results showed that preoperative PVO ( OR=797.179, 95% CI 8.074-78 712.270, P=0.004) and increased anastomotic flow velocity at 1 week after operation ( OR=11 848.376, 95% CI 23.746-5 912 017.803, P=0.003) were associated with postoperative PVO. Conclusions:Surgical correction in patients with TAPVC with a biventricular anatomy in this center is satisfactory.Preoperative PVO and early anastomotic flow velocity increase after operation are the high risk factors for postoperative PVO.
