Abstract:
Objective:To retrospectively analyze the efficacy of arterial switch operation in infants with transposition of the great arteries and to explore the prognostic related factors.Methods:The clinical data of 381 children with transposition of the great arteries from October 2001 to December 2017 were collected, including anatomical diagnosis, age of surgery, preoperative status, coronary artery malformation, aortic arch disease, etc. The relevant factors of postoperative mortality and reintervention were analyzed.Results:The overall mortality rate is about 4.5%, and the reintervention rate is about 3.7%. The postoperative mortality of every 100 cases droped significantly ( P<0.05), early surgery did not increase the risk of surgical death, but the mortality rate in the emergency surgery group was higher than that in the non-emergency surgery group. The mortality in the combined coronary artery abnormality group was significantly higher than that in the normal coronary artery group. Patients with Taussig-Bing anomaly and abnormal aortic arch were significantly more likely to get worse outcomes than those without aortic arch abnormality. In the whole group, 14 patients were re-intervened due to pulmonary valve or supra-valvular stenosis, aortic arch constriction, left ventricular outflow obstruction, and new aortic valve regurgitation. One patient died after operation. There was no coronary reintervention in the middle and long-term follow-up. Conclusion:The clinical outcome of early diagnosis and treatment of transposition of great arteries was good, preoperative status affects the outcome of surgery, coronary artery malformation, Taussig-Bing combined with aortic arch abnormalities were associated with increased operative mortality.
