Abstract

Objective: Short-term results of surgical repair for obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with infracardiac type at National Children's Hospital were evaluated. Methods: From 2011 to 2017, all patients diagnosed with obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection who underwent surgical repair at our center were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 20 patients were collected in our study. There were 13 males and 7 females. The mean age and the mean weight of our patients were 16.25 ± 20.14 days (1-80 days), and 3.2 ± 0.87 kg (1.9-5.7 kg), respectively. 6 patients (30%) were admitted to the hospital with cardiogenic shock and required emergency operation and 11 patients (55%) who required preoperative ventilator. The mean aortic cross-clamp time and bypass time were 67.9±24.7 minutes (41-154 minutes) and 132.8±41.5 minutes (82-247 minutes). There were 3 patients (15%) required secondary sternum closure. 1 patient died postoperatively and no late mortality and no patient required reoperation due to recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis. Conclusions: Short-term results of surgical repair for obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection were excellent. Further investigation is needed for long-term outcomes assessment with a bigger number of patients.
