This study details a Rastelli repair for a complex congenital heart defect in a child with double outlet right ventricle and absent left pulmonary artery. The surgical repair showed promising results with reduced right ventricular pressure six months post-operation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Physiology

Background:

  • Complex congenital heart disease (CHD) presents significant surgical challenges.
  • Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with associated anomalies requires intricate repair strategies.
  • Absent pulmonary artery necessitates innovative surgical solutions for pulmonary blood flow.

Observation:

  • A four-year-old child presented with severe cyanosis due to DORV, subpulmonic VSD, severe pulmonic stenosis, absent left pulmonary artery, and bilateral SVCs.
  • A Rastelli-type repair was performed, rerouting the right ventricle outflow to the single right pulmonary artery.
  • Immediate postoperative RV pressures were elevated at 90% of systemic levels.

Findings:

  • The Rastelli repair successfully provided a single outflow tract for the right ventricle.

  • Postoperative RV pressures decreased significantly to 60% of systemic levels by six months.
  • The child demonstrated positive clinical progress at the six-month follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the feasibility and potential success of Rastelli repair in complex DORV with absent pulmonary artery.
    • The findings suggest that this surgical approach can lead to improved hemodynamics and favorable outcomes in select pediatric patients.
    • Further research into long-term outcomes and management strategies for similar complex CHDs is warranted.
