Objective:To summarize the surgical experiences and follow-up results of different surgical approaches for interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and to optimize surgical planning.Methods:From October 2012 to September 2020, 53 IAA children aged under 1 year were selected as study subjects.The concurrent conditions included ventricular septal defect (VSD, n=41), subaortic membrane and severe stenosis, parachute mitral valve & intramitral annulus (n=1), main aorta-pulmonary window (APW, n=6), common arterial trunk (n=1), complete atrial ventricular septal defect (n=1), double outlet of right ventricle & abnormal origin of coronary artery (n=1) and bicuspid aortic valve (n=1). Primary anatomical correction (n=52) and staged surgery (n=1) were performed.The procedures included end-to-end anastomosis of descending aorta & proximal aortic arch (n=8), extended end-to-side anastomosis of descending aorta & proximal aortic arch (n=28), extended end-to-side anastomosis of descending aorta and proximal aortic arch + bovine pericardial patch widened anterior wall of aortic arch (n=12), left subclavian artery inversion and direct anastomosis of descending aorta (n=2) and extended end-to-side anastomosis of descending aorta and proximal aortic arch and widening of anterior aortic wall with pulmonary vascular patch (n=3). The parameters of delayed sternal closure time, postoperative mortality and restenoticc rate were statistically analyzed with SPSS 22.0.Results:The outcomes were survival (n=48), death (n=5) and delayed thoracic closure (n=26). Two postoperative children underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted circulation due to low cardiac output syndrome.One case of postoperative cardiac tamponade underwent emergency thoracotomy for hemostasis; Staphylococcus aureus was detected in blood culture of 1 child and cure obtained after antibiotic dosing of imipenem and vancomycin.In another case, chylothorax disappeared after a combination of fasting and with parenteral nutrition.One child developed postoperative convulsions and cranial MRI hinted at hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.After intensive nutrition and rehabilitation, he was discharged after improvements.One child underwent percutaneous balloon dilation of aortic arch with a pressure difference of 86 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) at 1 year postoperatively.And others were followed up with a pressure difference of <30 mmHg for 1 year.Conclusions:Upon a definite diagnosis of IAA, early surgical intervention is mandatory.Proper surgical approaches should be based upon the location, extent and associated intracardiac abnormalities.Surgical intervention is indicated for such chronic conditions as subaortic membrane formation and left ventricular outflow obstruction.

Objective To discuss the comprehensive measures during perioperative period for sternal wound infections in children undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsPatients from January 2013 to December 2014 who underwent cardiac surgery in our center were selected and randomly divided into the study group (n=337) and the control group (n=309). Study group received comprehensive measures to prevent wound infection; while control group received the routine measures.ResultsThe weight of study group and control group was (5.3±1.2) and (5.0±1.3) kg; the age was (6.2±3.3) and (7.2±1.4) months;extracorporeal circulation ratio was 47.5% (160/337) and 46.9% (145/309); and delay closed chest ratio was 14.8% (50/337) and 19.4% (60/309). There was no significant difference about the above indicators between two groups (P>0.05). The infection incidence ofⅠ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ type of study group and control group was 0.3% (1/337) and 0.6% (1/337), 0.0% (0/337) and 8.4% (26/309), 0.0% (0/337) and 1.0% (3/309);the average hospitalization days were (20.1±17.5) and (21.1± 15.5) d; the mean costs of hospitalization were (73 141±53 853) and (101 654±174 699) yuan. The above three indicators in study group were lower than control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Taking comprehensive preventive measures during perioperative period can greatly decrease the incidence of incision infection in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Objective To analyze the surgical timing and outcome of artery switch operation (ASO) for neonates with transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA/IVS) .Methods 25 patients underwent ASO from February 2012 to February 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 13 cases in group of emergency operation (group A), and 12 cases in group of selective operation (group B). The surgical outcomes of two groups were compared.ResultsThere were 19 male cases and 6 female cases among the 25 patients. The indexes of sex ratio, proportion of premature infants, birth weight, age at hospitalization, weight at operation, age at operation and artery location of the two groups were no statistically different (P>0.05). The duration of admission to operation of group A was shorter than that of group B[1.0 (1.0~1.5) vs 1.0 (8.3~14.8) d,T=91.000,P<0.05)]. The ratio of pre-operation mechanical ventilation of group A was higher (13/13 vs 3/12,χ2=15.234,P < 0.05), while pre-operative oxygen partial pressure was lower than that of group B[23 (17~27) vs 30 (23~45) mmHg,T=127.000,P<0.05)]. There were no statistically difference (P>0.05) in extracorporeal circulation time, aorta blocking time and the ratio of delayed sternal closure. Meanwhile, the proportion of early low cardiac output syndrome (2/13 vs 1/12,χ2=0.294), the proportion of early post-operative death (1/13 vs 1/12,χ2 = 0.003), and the duration of hospital stay[26.0 (18.5~27.5) vs 18.5 (21.5~40.8) d,T=150.500] of the two groups were no statistically different (P>0.05) .Conclusion Reasonable perioperative management in neonates with TGA/IVS can obtain better short-and long-term efifcacy.
