Single-stage repair of interrupted aortic arches and associated cardiac anomalies in neonatal: the outcomes and follow-up / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:This study defined mid-term results of a policy of single-stage repair of interrupted aortic arch associated cardiac anomalies.Methods:Between October 2012 and June 2019, 38 patients with interrupted aortic arch were evaluated for short- and mid-term results after surgical treatment, the average age of patients was(12±7) days and the mean body weight was(3.3±0.5)kg.29 patients belonged to IAA type A, and 7 patients to type B, and 2 patients belonged to IAA type C, 30 patients were complicated with ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus, two complicated with bicuspid aortic valve, four complicated with Taussig-Bing malformation and two with double outlet right ventricle, one with truncus arteriosus(A4), one with aortopulmonary window, one with left ventricle outflow tract obstruction. Single-stage repair was performed in all patients with cardiac anomalies.Results:Early mortality was 5.2%(2 cases), one was die for low cardiac output syndrome, the other die of septic shock. Median CPB time was 138 min(90-305 min), and median aortic cross clamping time was 68 min(47-163 min). Hospital day was 25d( 13-52 days).32 patients were followed-up, median time 34 months(9-85months). 2 patients(6.0%) were mild pulmonary stenosis pressure(20-25 mmHg), 3 patients(9.3%) suffer aortic anastomosis mild stnosis(21-44)mmHg.1 patient(3.1%) LVOTO was repaired ten months after the repair of interrupted aortic arch. The left broncus of of one patient was mild stenosis but without dyspnea.Conclusion:Single-stage end -to-side anastomosis repair of interrupted aortic arches in neonatal and repair of associated cardiac anomalies is safe and have low effective with low motality.
