Surgical repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 31 pediatric patients demonstrated a 90.4% survival rate. Early referral and surgical techniques like cardiac apex elevation improved outcomes for this complex congenital heart defect.

Area of Science:

  • Congenital Heart Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a severe congenital heart defect requiring surgical intervention.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in infants and children with TAPVC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the surgical outcomes and techniques used for repairing total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a pediatric cohort.
  • To assess the efficacy of deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest in TAPVC repair.
  • To identify factors influencing patient salvage and survival rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 31 pediatric patients undergoing TAPVC repair.
  • Surgical techniques included deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest in 74% of cases.

  • Specific surgical approaches were employed based on the type of anomalous connection (supracardiac, cardiac, infracardiac, mixed).

    • Main Results:

    • Overall survival rate was 90.4% (28 out of 31 patients).
    • Early extubation in the operating room was achieved in 84% of cases.
    • No reoperations were required for late pulmonary venous stenosis, and no late deaths occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of TAPVC is associated with high survival rates in pediatric patients.
    • The described surgical techniques, including cardiac apex elevation, provide excellent exposure and facilitate successful repair.
    • Earlier patient referral and prompt surgical intervention significantly improve outcomes and patient salvage in TAPVC cases.
