Abstract:
Objective To sum the clinical experiences of the treatment in congenital heart disease single ventricle with extracardiac conduit (EC) fenestration.Methods Ninety-five patients diagnosed with univentricular heart disease underwent EC using Gore-Tax conduits at the Department of Children's Heart Center,Justus-Liebig-University Giessen Germany from June 1996 to July 2010.According to EC with or without fenestration,the patients were divided into two groups.Seventy-one routine fenestration of the extracardiac conduit (the fenestration group),58 patients (58/71) of children with high-risk preoperative intraoperative fenestration,13 cases (13/71) were due to low cardiac Rankinginterventional fenestration; extracardiac conduit fenestration (non-windowed group) did not undergo surgery in 24 patients (24/95).Results The fenestration had no death; Three died in non-windowed group.Postoperative effusions and postoperative mean pulmonary artery pressure in group without fenestration ((14.2 ± 2.3) d and (15.1 ± 3.4) mm Hg respectively) were significantly higher than group with fenestration ((10 ± 3.2) d and (13.2 ± 2.8) mm Hg respectively).It had significant differences(P =0.016).In the group with fenestration and without fenestration,postoperative oxygen saturation((90.3 ±4.0)％,(91.7 ±5.2)％),postoperative thrombosis (11.3％ (8/71),12.5％ (3/24)),and postoperative neurological problems (18.3％ (13/71),20.8％ (5/24)) did not differ between cohorts.Conclusion It is effective and safe to treat congenital heart disease single ventricle with EC.EC with fenestration can improve acute postoperative mortality by rising cardiac output,thereby can reduce early postoperative mortality.
