Impact of Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Connection or Systemic-to-Pulmonary Artery Shunt Surgery on Promoting the Development of Pulmonary Vasculature in Patients With Pulmonary Atresia and Ventricular Septal Defect / 中国循环杂志
The mean follow up time was (2.01±1.02)years. Nakata index and McGoon ratio equally increased significantly post operation as compared to baseline level (P<0.001). Incidence of final anatomical repair was significantly higher in the RV-PA group than in the systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt group (62.2% vs 31.9%,P<0.01). During the anatomical repair operation, the incidence of cyanosis improvement was significantly higher, while the operation time was significantly shorter in the RV-PA group than in the systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt group(both P<0.05). Mechanical ventilationtime and ICU monitoringtime also tended to be shorter in the RV-PA group (P>0.05).
