Pediatric valve replacement for heart disease has a low risk of complications. Long-term survival was 67.8% at 10 years, with few reoperations needed.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Valvular heart disease (VHD) affects children, necessitating surgical intervention.
  • Valve replacement in pediatric patients presents unique challenges due to growth and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of pediatric valve replacement surgery.
  • To assess survival, event-free rates, and reoperation rates in children undergoing valve replacement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 202 children with VHD treated surgically between 1979 and 1998.
  • Focus on 23 children who underwent valve replacement (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary valves).
  • Analysis included bioprosthetic and mechanical valve types.

Main Results:

  • Operative mortality was 4 patients; 1 hospital death and 3 late deaths occurred.
  • At 10-year follow-up: actual survival rate was 67.8%, event-free rate was 76.1%, and freedom from reoperation was 86.2%.
  • Only 1 patient required re-replacement due to a thrombosed tricuspid valve.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric valve replacement carries a small risk of major complications and reoperation.
  • Both bioprosthetic and mechanical valves can be used in children.
  • Long-term follow-up is crucial for younger patients, considering their growth and development.
