    Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
    |January 1, 1979

    Summary

    Complete surgical correction for total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) showed high early mortality. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in these critically ill pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) is a severe congenital heart defect.
    • Surgical correction is the definitive treatment for TAPVD.
    • Outcomes in TAPVD surgery can be influenced by patient condition and surgical approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of complete surgical correction for total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD).
    • To identify factors associated with early mortality in TAPVD patients undergoing surgery.
    • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and intensive postoperative care.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12 patients with TAPVD who underwent complete surgical correction.
    • Classification of TAPVD types: 6 supracardiac, 2 cardiac, 4 infracardiac.
    • Assessment of preoperative conditions, including pulmonary hypertension due to pulmonary vein obstruction.

    Main Results:

    • Six early deaths (50%) occurred, either intraoperatively or shortly after surgery.
    • One late death occurred 8 months postoperatively due to pulmonary venous inflow obstruction.
    • Pulmonary hypertension was present in 6 patients, indicating significant obstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Complete surgical correction for TAPVD is associated with substantial early mortality.
    • Pulmonary vein obstruction is a critical factor influencing postoperative outcomes.
    • Early diagnosis, prompt surgical intervention, and vigilant postoperative intensive care are paramount for improving survival rates in TAPVD patients.
