ABSTRACT
Surgical closure of the ventricular septal defect is the most commonly performed procedure in pediatric cardiac surgery. There are conflicting data on weight at operation as risk factor for a complicated course. We performed a retrospective evaluation of mortality and morbidity in all patients undergoing surgical ventricular septal defect closure at our institution between 2004 and 2012 to identify risk factor for a complicated course. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was performed to identify risk factors for a complicated course. 243 patients who underwent surgical ventricular septal defect closure were included. Median age at operation was 168.0 days (range 17-6898), the median weight 6.0 kg (range 2.1-102.0). No deaths occurred. Two patients (0.8%) required a pacemaker for permanent heart block. Five patients (2.1%) underwent reoperation for a hemodynamically important residual ventricular septal defect. No other major adverse events occurred. No risk factors for major adverse events could be established. Multivariate analysis identified a genetic syndrome, long bypass time and low weight at operation as independent risk factors for a prolonged intensive care stay (>1 day) and prolonged ventilation time (>6 h). Contemporary results of surgical VSD closure are excellent with no mortality and low morbidity in this series. Although it is associated with increased ventilation time and a longer hospital stay, low bodyweight at operation is not associated with an increased risk of complications or major adverse events in our series.
