Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Cardiovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a critical congenital heart defect requiring surgical correction.
  • The arterial switch operation (ASO) is the preferred method for correcting TGA, aiming to restore normal arterial circulation.
  • Long-term outcome data for ASO, particularly with specific surgical techniques, are crucial for patient management and surgical refinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of the arterial switch operation (ASO) in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA).
  • To assess the incidence of reoperations, mortality, and morbidity, including coronary artery complications, aortic regurgitation, and pulmonary regurgitation, following ASO.
  • To report the 15-year cumulative reintervention avoidance rate after ASO.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 35 patients who underwent ASO between April 2006 and May 2021 for various forms of TGA.
  • Detailed examination of surgical techniques, including the punch-out and trap-door methods for coronary transplantation, and pulmonary artery flap for aortic reconstruction.
  • Assessment of long-term follow-up data, including survival rates, need for reintervention, and echocardiographic findings for valvular function and vessel patency.

Main Results:

  • A total of 34 out of 35 patients survived the follow-up period, with a median follow-up of 72.9 months.
  • No deaths or reoperations were reported during the long-term follow-up.
  • The 15-year cumulative reintervention avoidance rate was 91.0%, with minor complications like slight coronary bending in two patients and isolated cases of pulmonary artery stenosis requiring intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The arterial switch operation demonstrates highly satisfactory and durable long-term outcomes in the management of transposition of the great arteries.
  • The surgical techniques employed, including specific coronary transplantation methods and aortic reconstruction strategies, contribute to the low rates of reoperation and morbidity.
  • ASO is a safe and effective procedure for correcting TGA, offering excellent long-term survival and functional results for pediatric patients.
