RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the effect of age at operation on postoperative outcomes in children undergoing a Kawashima operation. METHODS: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database was queried for Kawashima procedures from January 1, 2014, to June 30, 2020. Patients were stratified by age at operation in months: 0 to <4, 4 to <8, 8 to <12, and >12. Subsequently, outcomes for those in whom the Kawashima was not the index operation and for those undergoing hepatic vein incorporation (Fontan completion or hepatic vein-to-azygos vein connection) were evaluated. RESULTS: We identified 253 patients who underwent a Kawashima operation (median age, 8.6 months; median weight, 7.4 kg): 12 (4.7%), 0 to <4 months; 96 (37.9%), 4 to <8 months; 81 (32.0%), 8 to <12 months; and 64 (25.3%), >12 months. Operative mortality was 0.8% (n = 2), with major morbidity or mortality in 17.4% (n = 44), neither different across age groups. Patients <4 months had a longer postoperative length of stay (12.5 vs 9.3 days; P = .03). The Kawashima was not the index operation of the hospital admission in 15 (5.9%); these patients were younger (6.0 vs 8.4 months; P = .05) and had more preoperative risk factors (13/15 [92.9%] vs 126/238 [52.9%]; P < .01). We identified 173 patients undergoing subsequent hepatic vein incorporation (median age, 3.9 years; median weight, 15.0 kg) with operative mortality in 6 (3.5%) and major morbidity or mortality in 30 (17.3%). CONCLUSIONS: The Kawashima is typically performed between 4 and 12 months with low mortality. Morbidity and mortality were not affected by age. Hepatic vein incorporations may be higher risk than in traditional Fontan procedures, and ways to mitigate this should be sought.

RESUMO

Heart-lung transplantation has historically been used as a definitive treatment for children with end-stage cardiopulmonary failure, although the number performed has steadily decreased over time. In this review, we discuss current indications, preoperative risk factors, outcomes, and heart-lung transplantation in unique patient subsets, including infants, children with single-ventricle physiology, tetralogy of Fallot/major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, and prior Potts shunt palliation. We also describe the different surgical techniques utilized in pediatric heart-lung transplantation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is the definitive surgical treatment for end-stage lung disease. However, infants comprise less than 5% of pediatric cases. This study sought to provide an overview of infant lung transplantation outcomes over the past 3 decades by using linked United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) data. METHODS: Infants undergoing lung transplantation from 1989 to 2020 in UNOS were reviewed. UNOS and PHIS records for patients who underwent lung transplantation from 1995 to 2020 were linked using date of birth, sex, and date of surgery ± 3 days. The study assessed underlying diagnoses, pretransplant and posttransplant extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, retransplant-free survival to discharge, hospital experience (≥1 annual transplant for ≥4 years in a 5-year period), operative decade, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, long-term survival, and functional status at latest follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 112 lung transplants were performed in 109 infants over 31 years. Of these, 21 patients died before discharge, and 2 underwent repeat transplantation during the same admission. The study linked 80.6% (83 of 103) of UNOS and PHIS records. Hospital survival was lower for infants with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension and those who underwent transplant procedures at less experienced centers. All 7 infants requiring postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support died. Median freedom from bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome was 8.1 years (interquartile range, 4.6 to 11.6 years). After discharge, median survival was 10.3 years (interquartile range, 6.3 to 14.4 years), with improved 10-year survival for those patients who underwent transplantation from 2010 to 2020 (87.3%) vs 2000 to 2009 (52.4%; P = .098) and 1989 to 1999 (34.1%; P = .004). A total of 84.6% (33 of 39) of survivors had minor or no restrictions at latest follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Carefully selected infants experience promising short- and long-term outcomes after lung transplantation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Since 2012, we have supported 18 children with single ventricle (SV) physiology on ventricular assist devices (VADs) as a bridge to decision, transplantation, or recovery. We provide a detailed report of our cumulative surgical experience and lessons learned from these patients. METHODS: We reviewed all SV-VADs between March 2012 and April 2020. Implanted SV-VADs intended for short-term support were excluded. Demographic and clinical data included palliation stage at the time of VAD implantation, cannulation configuration, device type, duration of support, circuit and device interventions, postoperative support, anticoagulation strategy, complications, mortality, and 1-year survival postdischarge. RESULTS: Five SV newborns without prior surgical palliation, 8 infants post-Norwood/hybrid procedure, 4 infants post-Glenn, and 1 infant post-Fontan were initially supported with either continuous-flow (n = 13 of 18, 72%) or pulsatile-flow (n = 5 of 18, 28%) devices. Three (17%) of 18 transitioned to another device during support. Before VAD conversion, 9 (50%) of 18 were supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Outcomes included 7 (39%) of 18 who transplanted, 2 (11%) of 18 who recovered, and 9 (50%) of 18 who died before discharge. Of these deaths, 2 occurred after transplantation and 2 after explantation, and 5 had redirection of care while on support secondary to previously undiagnosed pulmonary venoocclusive disease (n = 2) or severe neurologic events (n = 3). Overall, 6 (33%) of 18 experienced neurologic injury. At last follow-up, 9 (50%) of 18 children were alive (median 1.2 [interquartile range, 0.8-4.3] years postexplantation/transplantation). CONCLUSIONS: Our experience shows that SV children, including newborns, can be successfully bridged to desired endpoints with proper patient selection and using specific cannulation strategies. Continuing utilization of this strategy is warranted for future children requiring VAD support.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Data on adult lung transplantation suggest perioperative benefits of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) compared to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Information regarding their pediatric counterparts, however, is limited. This study compares outcomes of intraoperative ECMO versus CPB in pediatric lung transplantation. METHODS: We reviewed all pediatric lung transplants at our institution from 2014 to 2019 and compared those supported intraoperatively on ECMO (n = 13) versus CPB (n = 22), plus a conditional analysis excluding re-transplantations (ECMO [n = 13] versus CPB [n = 20]). We evaluated survival, surgical times, intraoperative transfusions, postoperative support, complications, and duration of hospitalization. RESULTS: Total time on ECMO support was significantly less than that of CPB support (P = .018). Intraoperatively, the ECMO group required fewer transfusions of fresh-frozen plasma (8.9 [5.8-22.3] vs 16.6 [11.4-39.0] mL/kg, P = .049) and platelets (4.2 [0.0-6.7] vs 8.0 [3.5-14.0] mL/kg, P = .049). When excluding re-transplantations, patients on ECMO required fewer packed red blood cells intraoperatively (12.6 [2.1-30.7] vs 28.2 [14.0-54.0] mL/kg, P = .048). There were no differences in postoperative support requirements, complications, or mortality at one, six, and twelve months. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative ECMO support during pediatric lung transplantation appears to decrease intraoperative transfusion requirements when compared to CPB. Data from additional institutions may strengthen these observations.

RESUMO

Lung transplantation is a crucial component in the treatment of end-stage lung disease in infants. Traditionally, most lung transplants have been performed in older children and adults, resulting in a scarcity of data for infant patients. To address the challenges unique to this age group, novel strategies to provide the best preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care for these youngest patients are paramount. We review recent advances in bridge-to-transplantation therapy, including the use of a paracorporeal lung assist device, and differences in surgical technique, including bronchial artery revascularization, for incorporation into the overarching treatment strategy for infants undergoing lung transplantation.

RESUMO

Symptoms of airway compression secondary to double aortic arch are relieved by division of one of the two aortic arches. However, in some cases inherent tracheomalacia and other factors may result in persistence of symptoms. We report one such occurrence in our experience and describe the use of aortopexy as a curative procedure to tackle this problem.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Following second heart transplantation (HTx), some patients experience graft failure and require third-time heart transplantation. Little data exist to guide decision-making with regard to repeat retransplantation in older patients. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients receiving a third HTx, as identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database from 1985 to 2017. RESULTS: The study cohort consisted of N = 60 patients, with an average age of 29 with a standard deviation of ±18 years. Overall survival for the cohort at 1, 5, and 10 years is 83%, 64%, and 44%, respectively. The rate of third-time HTxs has steadily increased in all age groups. Patients older than 50 years now account for 18.3% of all third-time HTxs. Although this group demonstrated longer average previous graft survival, after third HTx they demonstrate significantly poorer survival outcomes compared to third-time HTx recipients younger than 21 (P = 0.05). Age over 50, BMI over 30, and diabetes were all found to be independent risk factors for decreased survival following third HTx. CONCLUSIONS: We describe trends in patients undergoing third HTx. We highlight subsets of such recipients who exhibit decreased survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Postoperative care delivered in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) relies on providers' understanding of patients' congenital heart defects (CHDs) and procedure performed. Novel, bedside use of virtual, three-dimensional (3D) heart models creates access to patients' CHD to improve understanding. This study evaluates the impact of patient-specific virtual 3D heart models on CICU provider attitudes and care delivery. METHODS: Virtual 3D heart models were created from standard preoperative cardiac imaging of ten patients with CHD undergoing repair and displayed on a bedside tablet in the CICU. Providers completed a Likert questionnaire evaluating the models' value in understanding anatomy and improving care delivery. Responses were compared using two-tailed t test and Mann-Whitney U test and were also compared to previously collected CICU provider responses regarding use of printed 3D heart models. RESULTS: Fifty-three clinicians (19 physicians, 34 nurses/trainees) participated; 49 (92%) of 53 and 44 (83%) of 53 reported at least moderate to high satisfaction with the virtual 3D heart's ability to enhance understanding of anatomy and surgical repair, respectively. Seventy-one percent of participants felt strongly that virtual 3D models improved their ability to manage postoperative problems. The majority of both groups (63% physicians, 53% nurses) felt that virtual 3D heart models improved CICU handoffs. Virtual 3D heart models were as effective as printed models in improving understanding and care delivery, with a noted provider preference for printed 3D heart models. CONCLUSIONS: Virtual 3D heart models depicting patient-specific CHDs are perceived to improve understanding and postoperative care delivery in the CICU.

RESUMO

Uhl's anomaly, first reported in 1952, is an extremely rare congenital cardiac defect characterized by partial or complete loss of the right ventricular myocardium and unknown etiology. Fewer than 100 cases have been described. The response to medical management is poor and there is no known ideal surgical approach or timing for treatment. We report the case of a previously active adolescent male presenting with cardiac arrest, who underwent successful bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis ("Glenn" anastomosis) with right atrial reduction and right ventricular free wall plication.

RESUMO

Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is common in surgically repaired congenital heart disease (CHD) and carries the potential for significant hemodynamic compromise. Our objective was to determine the incidence, and risk factors of EAT after CHD surgery. Prospective study of patients that underwent surgery for CHD from February to October 2016 was performed. Demographic, perioperative and electrophysiologic data were collected. Sustained EAT (> 30 s) was documented by telemetry or electrocardiogram and confirmed by a pediatric electrophysiologist. All patients were followed through index hospitalization. During the study period, 17/204 (8%) of patients developed EAT with median time-to-event of 14 days. 15/17 (88%) received anti-arrhythmic therapy for sustained EAT. By univariate analysis, younger age (5 vs. 284 days, P < .001), lower weight (3.2 vs. 7.5 kg, P < .001), single ventricle physiology (P = .05), longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (176 vs. 94 min, P < .001), need for delayed sternal closure (P < .001), and higher STAT category (P < .001) were associated with EAT. Incidence among single ventricle patients was 7/44 (16%), and of those 7/13 (54%) were < 30 days of age. Multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed age at surgery < 30 days (hazard ratio = 11.7, P = .002) and use of milrinone (hazard ratio = 4.4, P = .007) as independent predictors of EAT. Post-operative EAT is frequent following surgery for CHD especially in neonates. Further study is warranted, specifically in the single ventricle population, given the high potential risk for arrhythmia-induced hemodynamic compromise in this vulnerable population.

RESUMO

While the relationship between maternal connective tissue diseases and neonatal rashes was described in the 1960s and congenital heart block in the 1970s, the "culprit" antibody reactivity to the SSA/Ro-SSB/La ribonucleoprotein complex was not identified until the 1980s. However, studies have shown that approximately 10-15% of cases of congenital heart block are not exposed to anti-SSA/Ro-SSB/La. Whether those cases represent a different disease entity or whether another antibody is associated has yet to be determined. Moreover, the cutaneous manifestations of neonatal lupus have also been identified in infants exposed only to anti-U1RNP antibodies. In this review, we describe what we believe to be the first case of congenital heart block exposed to maternal anti-U1RNP antibodies absent anti-SSA/Ro-SSB/La. The clinical and pathologic characteristics of this fetus are compared to those typically seen associated with SSA/Ro and SSB/La. Current guidelines for fetal surveillance are reviewed and the potential impact conferred by this case is evaluated.

RESUMO

Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common complication of prematurity and a risk factor for poor outcome. Infants undergoing surgical PDA ligation are at highest risk for neurodevelopmental injury. Autonomic dysfunction has been described in premature infants with PDA. Aim To interrogate the autonomic nervous system by analysis of advanced heart rate variability (HRV) metrics before and after surgical closure of the PDA. Study Design Prospective, observational study. Subjects Twenty-seven infants born before 28 weeks' gestation were included in this study. Methods Continuous electrocardiogram data were sampled at a rate of 125 Hz for a total of 6 hours before and 6 hours after 30 hours of surgical closure. HRV was determined by detrended fluctuation analysis to calculate the short and long root mean square (RMSL and RMSS) and α components at two time scales (long and short). Results Gestational age (GA) was positively associated with RMSL, RMSS, and αS and was negatively associated with αL. There was no difference between RMSs, RMSL, αS, or αL before and after surgery; however, median heart rate was lower after surgery (p < 0.01). Conclusion Advancing GA is highly associated with increasing HRV; however, surgical ligation does not affect HRV in the postoperative period.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Subcutaneous enoxaparin is the mainstay anticoagulant in critically ill pediatric patients although it poses several challenges in this patient population. Enoxaparin infused IV over 30 minutes represents an attractive alternative, but there is limited experience with this route of administration in children. In this study, we assess dosing, anticoagulation quality, safety, and clinical efficacy of IV enoxaparin compared to subcutaneous enoxaparin in critically ill infants and children. DESIGN: Retrospective single-center study comparing dosing, anticoagulation quality, safety, and clinical efficacy of two different routes of enoxaparin administration (IV vs subcutaneous) in critically ill infants and children. Key outcome measures included dose needed to achieve target antifactor Xa levels, time required to achieve target antifactor Xa levels, proportion of patients achieving target anticoagulation levels on initial dosing, number of dose adjustments, duration spent in the target antifactor Xa range, anticoagulation-related bleeding complications, anticoagulation failure, and radiologic response to anticoagulation. SETTING: Tertiary care pediatric hospital. PATIENTS: All children admitted to the cardiac ICU, PICU, or neonatal ICU who were prescribed enoxaparin between January 2014 and March 2016 were studied. INTERVENTIONS: One hundred ten patients were identified who had received IV or subcutaneous enoxaparin and had at least one postadministration peak antifactor Xa level documented. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of the 139 courses of enoxaparin administered, 96 were therapeutic dose courses (40 IV and 56 subcutaneous) and 43 were prophylactic dose courses (20 IV and 23 subcutaneous). Dosing, anticoagulation quality measurements, safety, and clinical efficacy were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that anticoagulation with IV enoxaparin infused over 30 minutes is a safe and an equally effective alternative to subcutaneous enoxaparin in critically ill infants and children.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the UNOS database to better define the risk of transmission of central nervous system (CNS) tumors from donors to adult recipients of thoracic organs. METHODS: Data were procured from the Standard Transplant Analysis and Research dataset files. Donors with CNS tumors were identified, and recipients from these donors comprised the study group (Group I). The remaining recipients of organs from donors who did not have CNS tumors formed the control group (Group II). Incidence of recipient CNS tumors, donor-related malignancies, and overall survival were calculated and compared in addition to multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS: A cohort of 58 314 adult thoracic organ recipients were included, of which 337 received organs from donors who had documented CNS tumors (Group I). None of these recipients developed CNS tumors at a median follow-up of 72 months (IR: 30-130 months). Although overall mortality in terms of the percentage was higher in Group I than Group II (163/320=51% vs 22 123/52 691=42%), Kaplan-Meier curves indicate no significant difference in the time to death between the two groups (P=.92). CONCLUSIONS: There is little risk of transmission of the common nonaggressive CNS tumors to recipients of thoracic organs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AvWS) in the setting of congenital heart disease is an under-recognized cause of bleeding in the pediatric cardiac critical care unit. METHODS: Fourteen patients diagnosed with AvWS admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit at the Children's National Health System between December 2009 and September 2015 were identified with subsequent chart review and case analysis. RESULTS: Of the 14 patients included in this study, 4 patients were on ventricular-assist devices, 6 patients were on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and 4 were patients with congenital heart disease not receiving any mechanical circulatory support. All patients identified manifested persistent severe bleeding, despite appropriate management of anticoagulation and blood product administration based on the established protocols. Detailed hemostatic testing including quantitative von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimer analysis revealed decreased high-molecular-weight multimers (HMWMs) and absent ultra-HMWM, consistent with AvWS in all patients. Eight patients received treatment with vWF concentrate, one patient with desmopressin, and five recovered without specific treatment. Bleeding ceased in all but one patient. CONCLUSIONS: Acquired von Willebrand syndrome is an uncommon but important cause of bleeding in pediatric patients with cardiac disease. A high index of clinical suspicion with knowledge of the characteristic clinical scenario in addition to low levels of vWF multimers is required to manage and diagnose AvWS. Although the optimal management of AvWS in this patient population is unclear, vWF concentrates are available and appear to be efficacious for controlling life-threatening bleeding.

RESUMO

The availability of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the standard of care at most high-acuity congenital heart surgery programs. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is also an integral part of managing children with in-hospital cardiac arrest refractory to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In this article, we aim to provide a practical guide to initiate rapid ECMO in a nonoperating room setting.
