Abstract:
Objective Konno-Rastan procedure is one option to cope with complex multilevel left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO),which continues to pose a serious challenge to cardiac surgeons.The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse indications for Konno-Rastan procedure,and to review the safeguards and pitfalls.Methods Between January 1996 and August 2012,totally 13 children with multilevel LVOTO underwent Konno-Rastan procedure.There were 8 boys and 5 girls.Age at surgeries ranged from 5 to 13 years,and weight from 12 to 51 kg with median of 21 kg.The pathology of this cohort includes:8 cases of congenital aortic valvular stenosis,3 cases of congenital aortic valvular stenosis combined with supravalvular stenosis,1 case of congenital aortic stenosis combined with VSD,coarctation and RVOT obstruction,1 case of aortic stenosis s/p percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty.All patients have secondary diffuse tunnel LVOTO.Diameter of aortic ring ranges from 12.0 to 16.4 mm,and pressure gradient across the stenotic region ranges from 90-151 mm Hg.8 cases were implanted with St.Jude AG19 while 5 cases implanted with St.Jude AG17.Results All 13 cases survived.The 4th patient was implanted permanent epicardial pacemaker for transient Ⅲ AVB.The 4th and 5th patients were found residual ventricular septal repture at the nadir of ventricular incision,one underwent redo procedure while another is being followed up.All cases take cumadine to sustain INR at 1.8-2.5.No death emerges during follow-up period.The motality is 0％,the incidence rate of B is 7.7％,residual VSD 15.4％ and endocarditis 7.7％.Conclusion Konno-Rastan procedure is a promising techi.to relieve LVOTO.However,this complex procedure may lead to several fetal complications.Success of the surgery demands perfect operations.
