ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Total abnormal pulmonary venous return anomaly is a CHD characterised by abnormal pulmonary venous flow directed to the right atrium. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of these techniques on early rhythm problems in total abnormal pulmonary venous return anomaly cases operated with conventional or primary sutureless techniques.METHOD:
Seventy consecutive cases (median age 1 month, median weight 4 kg) who underwent total abnormal pulmonary venous return anomaly repair with conventional or primary sutureless technique between May 1 2020 and May 1 2022 were evaluated. The rate, diagnosis, and possible risk factors of postoperative arrhythmias were investigated. The results were evaluated statistically.RESULTS:
When the total abnormal pulmonary venous return anomaly subgroup of 70 cases was evaluated, 40 cases were supracardiac, 18 cases were infracardiac, 7 cases were cardiac, and 5 cases were mixed type. Twenty-eight (40%) cases had a pulmonary venous obstruction. Primary sutureless technique (57%, supracardiac n = 24, mixed = 3, infracardiac = 13) was used in 40 patients. Median cardiopulmonary bypass time (110 versus 95 minutes) and median aortic clamp time (70 versus 60 minutes), median peak lactate (4.7 versus 4.8 mmol/l) in the first 72 hours, and median peak vasoactive inotropic score in the first 72 hours of the primary sutureless and conventional technique used cases value (8 versus 10) were similar. The total incidence of arrhythmias in the conventional group was significantly higher than in the primary sutureless group (46.7% versus 22.5%, p = 0.04). Supraventricular early beat was observed in 3 (7.5%), sinus tachycardia was seen in 6 (15%), junctional ectopic tachycardia was seen in 1 (2.5%), intra-atrial reentry tachycardia was seen in 1 (2.5%), usual supraventricular tachyarrhythmia was seen in 2 cases (5%) in the primary sutureless group. In the conventional group, supraventricular early beat was observed in six of the cases (20%), sinus tachycardia in five (16.7%), junctional ectopic tachycardia in four (13.3%), intra-atrial reentry tachycardia (10%) in three, and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in seven cases (23.3%). In the first 30 days, there was a similar mortality rate (10% versus 10%), with four patients in the primary sutureless group and three in the conventional group. The median follow-up period of the cases was 8 months (interquartile range (IQR) 6-10 months). In the follow-up, arrhythmias were detected in two cases (one supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and one intra-atrial reentry tachycardia) in the primary sutureless group and three cases (two supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, one intra-atrial reentry tachycardia) in the conventional technique. All cases were converted to normal sinus rhythm with cardioversion and combined antiarrhythmic therapy.CONCLUSION:
Different arrhythmias can be observed in the early period in patients with operated total abnormal pulmonary venous return anomaly. Although a higher rate of rhythm problems was observed in the early period in the conventional method compared to the primary sutureless technique, no significant effect was found on mortality and morbidity between the groups.Palavras-chave
