Strategy of repairing coarctation of aorta with hypoplastic aortic arch using cardiopulmonary bypass in neonates / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analysis the the strategy of repairing coarctation of aorta with hypoplastic aortic arch in neo-nate.Methods Collected consecutive 24 neonates suffered coarctation of aorta with hypoplastic aortic arch form January 2015 to March 2017,12 patients were underwent aortic arch reconstruction with extremely extended end-to-end anastomosis under cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) through the media sternotomy approach(CPB group), while another 12 cases were under coarc-tation repair using end-to-end anastomosis or end-to-side anastomosis through left posterolateral thoracotomy approach ( control group).The postoperative blood pressure,echocardiography and cardiac CT scan were used to evaluate the result of the aortic arch rconstruction.The pressuregradientof the upper limb and lower limb,flow velocity of the anastomoses, aortic arch morphol-ogy,rate of the residual abstruction were compared between the two groups.Results Mechanical ventilation time[ CPB group (17 ±27)h vs.control group(44 ±52)h, P＜0.05], ength of stay in ICU[CPB group(3.75 ±1.36)days vs.control group (6.54 ±5.08)days, P＜0.05], all patients were followed up for 1－12 months,the aortic residual pressure[CPB group(14 ± 10)mmHg (1 mmHg＝0.133 kPa) vs.control group(26 ±17)mmHg,P ＜0.05) ], flow velocity of the anastomoses[CPB group(2.32 ±0.78)m/s, control group(1.55 ±0.99)m/s, P ＜0.05 ], pressuregradientof the upper limb and lower limb [CPB group (6.67 ±3.49)mmHg, control group(7.41 ±4.29)mmHg, P＞0.05].There was no died in two gruops.Con-clusion Anastomosis with end to end techinique under cardiopulmonary bypass may achieve better effect in neonates with co-arctation of aorta with hypoplastic aortic arch,it has better duplcity, operability and early curative effect,but the long-term effect need the multicenter and large sample-volume study to explore.
