Abstract:
Sutureless technique is effective for the treatment of pulmonary vein obstruction after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) surgery and has been widely used for primary correction of TAPVC. Sutureless repair had more convincing surgical outcomes, including lower mortality and reoperation rate, compared with conventional repair. However, sutureless technique also has some complications, including potential bleeding at the anastomotic site, phrenic nerve injury, air embolism. The safety and effectiveness are still controversial. This article reviewed the research status of sutureless technology in surgical correction of TAPVC in recent years.
