Analysis for the Complication and Prognosis of Modified Extended Morrow Procedure in Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To summarize the major post-operative complication of modiifed extended Morrow procedure in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and to explore the major factors affecting its prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 139 consecutive HOCM patients who received the procedure by same surgeon in our hospital from 2012-06 to 2014-07. There were 87 male and 52 female patients with the age of (10-67) years, body weightof (26-105) kg and pre-operative left ventricular outlfow tract peak gradient (LVOTPG) of (84.48 ± 44.75) mmHg. Concomitant operations were performed with known cardiac disease as necessary. Pre- and post-operative echocardiography, ECG and chest X-ray were examined to assess the adequacy of resection and mitral valve structure and function. Results: There was no peri-operative death. 73/139 (53%) patients received simple modiifed expanded Morrow procedure, the other 66 (47%) patients received concomitant surgery including 21 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting, 15 mitral valve plasty, 7 mitral valve replacement, 10 tricuspid valve plasty, 2 aortic valve replacement, 3 modiifed Maze procedure, 2 unblock of right ventricular outlfow tract, 2 sub aortic membrane resection, 1 ventricular aneurysm resection. The mechanical ventilation time was (24.05±36.74) hours, post-operative ICU and in-hospital stays were (2.85±3.18) days and (10.11±4.57) days; the complications included arrhythmia in 108 cases, pleural effusion in 25 cases, secondary intubation in 1 case, tracheotomy in 1 case, hemoifltration in 1 case, intra-aortic balloon pump in 1 case, back into ICU in 3 cases; no pneumothorax, secondary thoracotomy/operation. The post-operative left atrial diameter, LVOTPG, inter-ventricular septal thickness and LVEF were all decreased; mitral valve closed well or with mild regurgitation, systolic anterior motion (SAM) basically disappeared. The major factors for delayed ICU stay included age≥55 years, female, CPB time≥120 min, AOC time≥90 min, the patients combining with arrhythmia and right ventricular dysfunction. Late follow-up presented that the patients were almost without the symptoms, NYHA classiifcation at (I-II), no late death, complication or re-operation. Conclusion: Modified expand Morrow procedure has good surgical and short/late post-operative effects, concomitant operation does not increase the complication and mortality; correction of arrhythmia and improving right ventricular function at peri-operative period are important for treating the relevant patients.
