RESUMO

Introduction: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) often have pulmonary abnormalities and exercise intolerance following cardiac surgery. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves exercise capacity in patients with CHD, but minimal study has been performed to see if resting and dynamic pulmonary performance improves following CR in those with prior cardiac surgery. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who completed ≥12 weeks of CR from 2018 through 2022. Demographic, cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), spirometry, 6-minute walk, functional strength measures, and outcomes data were collected. Data are presented as median[IQR]. A Student's t-test was used for comparisons between groups and serial measurements were measured with a paired t-test. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: There were a total of 37 patients [age 16.7 (14.2-20.1) years; 46% male] included. Patients with prior surgery (n = 26) were more likely to have abnormal spirometry data than those without heart disease (n = 11) (forced vital capacity [FVC] 76.7 [69.1-84.3]% vs. 96.4 [88.1-104.7]%, p = 0.002), but neither group experienced a significant change in spirometry. On CPET, peak oxygen consumption increased but there was no change in other pulmonary measures during exercise. Percent predicted FVC correlated with hand grip strength (r = 0.57, p = 0.0003) and percent predicted oxygen consumption (r = 0.43, p = 0.009). The number of prior sternotomies showed negative associations with both percent predicted FVC (r = -0.43, p = 0.04) and FEV1 (r = -0.47, p = 0.02). Discussion: Youth and young adults with a prior history of cardiac surgery have resting and dynamic pulmonary abnormalities that do not improve following CR. Multiple sternotomies are associated with worse pulmonary function.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A subset of patients who develop post-surgical heart block have recovery of atrioventricular node function. Factors predicting recovery are not understood. We investigated our centre's incidence of post-surgical heart block and examine factors associated with recovery of atrioventricular node function. METHODS: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study of patients 0 - 21 years who underwent cardiac surgery between January 2010 and December 2019 and experienced post-operative heart block. Data including patient and clinical characteristics and operative variables were collected and analysed. RESULTS: Of 6333 surgical hospitalisations, 128 (2%) patients developed post-operative heart block. Of the 128 patients, 90 (70%) had return of atrioventricular node function, and 38 (30%) had pacemaker placement. Of the 38 patients who underwent pacemaker placement, 6 (15.8%) had recovery of atrioventricular node function noted on long-term follow-up. Median time from onset of heart block to late atrioventricular node recovery was 13 days (Interquartile range: 5 - 117). Patients with single-ventricle physiology (p = 0.04), greater weight (p = 0.03), and shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time (p = 0.015) were more likely to have recovery. The use of post-operative steroids was similar between all groups (p = 0.445). Infectious or wound complications were similar between pacemaker groups (p = 1). CONCLUSIONS: Two per cent of patients who underwent congenital cardiac surgery developed post-operative heart block, and 0.6% underwent pacemaker placement. Early recovery of atrioventricular node was associated with greater weight at the time of surgery, single-ventricle physiology, and shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time. Late recovery of atrioventricular node conduction following pacemaker placement occurred in 15.8% of patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Advances in surgical techniques and post-operative management of children with CHD have significantly lowered mortality rates. Unplanned cardiac interventions are a significant complication with implications on morbidity and mortality. METHODS: We conducted a single-centre retrospective case-control study for patients (<18 years) undergoing cardiac surgery for repair of Tetralogy of Fallot between January 2009 and December 2019. Data included patient characteristics, operative variables and outcomes. This study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors for reintervention of Tetralogy of Fallot after cardiac surgery. The secondary outcome was to examine the incidence of long-term morbidity and mortality in those who underwent unplanned reinterventions. RESULTS: During the study period 29 patients (6.8%) underwent unplanned reintervention, and were matched to 58 patients by age, weight and sex. Median age was 146 days, and median weight was 5.8 kg. Operative mortality was 7%, and 1-year survival was 86% for the entire cohort (cases and controls). Hispanic patients were more likely to have reinterventions (p = 0.04) in the unadjusted analysis, while Asian, Pacific Islander and Native American (p = 0.01) in the multi-variate analysis. Patients that underwent reintervention were more likely to have post-op arrhythmia, genetic syndromes and higher operative and 1-year mortality (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Unplanned cardiac interventions following Tetralogy of Fallot repair are common, and associated with increased operative, and 1-year mortality. Race, genetic syndromes and post-operative arrhythmia are associated with increased odds of unplanned reinterventions. Future studies are needed to identify modifiable risk factors to minimise unplanned reinterventions.
