Abstract: Objective To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot in adults. Methods From July 2002 to August 2009,75 adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot received surgical treatment in Xijing Hospital, ForthMilitary Medical University.There were 35 males and 40 females, with age at l7 to 37 years (23.30±3.50 years), and eoperativehemoglobin at 143 to 231 g/L(172.00±31.00 g/L).All these patients were diagnosed by.echocardiograph before operation. All the patients were received tetralogy of Fallot of corrective operation in the hypothermia cardiopulmonary bypass. A total of 46 patients had a transannular right ventricular outflow tract patch,and 29 patients had a non ansannular patch. Results Operation time was 157 to 276 min(221.32±41.34 min), cardiopulmonary bypass time was 68 to 163 min(91.71±28.35 min) and aorta intercepted time was 37 to 96 min(55.47±23.61 min). There were 6 operative deaths with an operative mortality at 8.00%. The causes of death were low output syndrome(n=3),acute renal failure(n=2), and multiple organ failure(n=1).Nine patients needed reoperation for postoperative bleeding(12.00%).We followed up 69 patients from 3 to 56 months (26.31±7.40 months). There were 2 patients with trivial residual shunt. The cardiac function status were New York Heart Association(NYHA) Ⅰ to Ⅱ in the 69 patients.No late death occured. Conclusion The effectiveness of surgical treatment for adults with tetralogy of Fallot is satisfactory.
Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with anomalous coronary artery. Methods From March 1993 to April 2006, 22 patients with TOF and anomalous coronary artery underwent repair. The resection of hypertrophied parietal, septal band and the ventricular septal defect (VSD) repairs were performed by trans-right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) approach in 5 cases, and by transatrial approach in 17 cases, which consisted of 7 cases required a transannular patch to enlarge a pulmonary annulus, construction of a double barrel outlet in 6 cases, by autologous pericardium conduit (3 cases), homograft (1 case) and reflected anterior wall of the main pulmonary artery in combination with bovine pericardium (2 cases). Results There was one operative death because of the anomalous coronary artery impairment. The accessory left anterior descending artery was severed because it was mistaken for the conal arteryin 1 case, which caused failure to wean from bypass, after the left internal mammary artery was anastomosed to the accessory left anterior descending artery, the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was stopped successfully. Mean early gradient(ΔP) was 23.4mmHg and ΔP>20mmHg in 9 cases. Eighteen cases were followed up, mean time was 13.2 months. Late ΔP>20mmHg in 7 cases, and ΔP were less than 20mmHg in 11 cases. Conclusion The repair of TOF with anomalous coronary artery is more safe by using the transatrial approach. The surgical reconstruction of RVOT depends on the anatomic characteristic of anomalous coronary artery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of rotation-embedding technology for treatment of moderate to severe inverted nipples. MethodsBetween March 2012 and March 2014, 24 patients (39 nipples) with moderate to severe inverted nipples were treated using rotation-embedding technology. The age ranged from 28 to 42 years (mean, 32 years). The bilateral nipples involved in 15 cases, unilateral nipple in 9 cases, including 30 moderate inverted nipples, 9 severe inverted nipples. The first time operation was performed in the other patients except 1 patient who had received corrective operation of bilateral nipples. ResultsThe operation was successfully performed in all patients; primary healing of incision was obtained; no swollen, bleeding, dehiscence, or blood flow obstacle occurred. All patients were followed up 5-24 months (mean, 12 months). The shapes of nipples were satisfactory; bilateral nipples were symmetrical basically; no nipple inversion recurred, and the nipple skins had good sensation. ConclusionUsing rotation-embedding technology can correct moderate to severe inverted nipples effectively.
目的 总结法洛四联症矫治术的临床经验,进一步提高治愈率,降低其并发症和死亡率。 方法 回顾性分析2005年4月1日至2013年3月31日河南省胸科医院704例行法洛四联症矫治术患者的临床资料,其中男394例、女310例,年龄3个月至45岁,平均(3.6±6.6)岁。 结果 684 (97.20%) 例治愈,死亡20例,死亡率2.8%。死于低心排血量综合征和多器官功能衰竭16例,急性肾功能衰竭2例,术后灌注肺合并肺部感染1例,心搏骤停1例。因术后出血量多,再次开胸止血21例(2.98%);脱离呼吸机后二次气管内插管21例(2.98%),腹膜透析治疗肾功能不全25例,发生感染性心内膜炎10例,Ⅲ°房室传导阻滞2例;10例术后出院前复查发现小的室间隔缺损残余漏,5例跨肺动脉瓣压差超过40 mm Hg。随访1~8年,随访到658例,随访率98%。随访期间因心衰死亡3例,因心内膜炎死亡1例。 结论 术前精确诊断,把握好手术适应证,术中矫治满意,术后及时恰当处理是手术成功的关键。
