Summary

Hybrid cardiac surgery, combining surgical and catheter-based methods, proves safe and effective for pediatric patients. This approach reduces cardiopulmonary bypass use, offering a viable alternative for complex congenital heart conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive cardiac surgery can be advanced by integrating surgical and interventional techniques.
  • Hybrid cardiac surgery involves combined catheter-based and surgical interventions performed either simultaneously or sequentially within 24 hours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of hybrid cardiac surgery in pediatric patients.
  • To assess the outcomes of hybrid approaches for muscular ventricular septal defects and branch pulmonary artery stenoses.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal prospective study of 25 pediatric patients undergoing hybrid cardiac surgery between June 2000 and June 2003.
  • Group 1: 17 patients with muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSDs) underwent sequential or one-stage device closure.

  • Group 2: 8 patients with branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenoses underwent intraoperative PA stenting or balloon dilatation concurrently with surgical procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • All 25 patients survived hospitalization following hybrid procedures.
    • Complications were primarily observed in groups 1A (sequential mVSD closure) and 2 (PA stenoses).
    • At a mean follow-up of 18 months, two patients in group 1A experienced late sudden death; all other patients are stable.

    Conclusions:

    • Hybrid pediatric cardiac surgery, a collaborative effort between surgeons and cardiologists, is safe and effective.
    • This approach successfully reduces or eliminates the need for cardiopulmonary bypass.
    • The perventricular approach in a single setting is suitable for small mVSD patients with poor vascular access or concomitant lesions.
