  • Early and Mid-term Outcomes of Morphologic Tricuspid Valve Replacement with Preservation of Entire Valvular and Subvalvular Apparatus in Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the early and mid-term outcomes of morphologic tricuspid valve replacement by means of intravalvular implantation in corrected transposition of great arteries(cTGA). Methods From January 2009 to January 2012,11 patients with cTGA were surgically treated in Fu Wai Hospital. There were 9 male patients and 2 female patients with their mean of age of(37.8±11.7)years and mean body weight of(73.0±11.3)kg. All the patients underwent morphologic tricuspid valve replacement with preservation of the entire valvular and subvalvular apparatus. Simultaneous surgical procedures included repair of ventricular septal defect in 2 patients,repair of atrial septal defect in 4 patients,pulmonary valvuloplasty in 1 patient,reconstruction of functional right ventricular outflow tract in 4 patients and repair of coronary-pulmonary artery fistula in 1 patient. Postoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, cardiothoracic ratio, morphological right ventricle ejection fraction, end-diastolic dimension of morphological right ventricle and left atrium were evaluated during follow-up. Results All the 11 patients were successfully surgically treated and followed up for an average duration of(13.0±10.6)months. There was no statistical difference between postoperative and preoperative average cardiothoracic ratio (0.54±0.06 vs. 0.57±0.09,t=1.581,P>0.05),morphologic right ventricle ejection fraction (52.8%±9.0% vs. 54.9%±9.5%, t =0.712,P>0.05),and end-diastolic dimension of . morphological right ventricle (54.3±7.5 mm vs. 56.9±9.2 mm,t =0.988,P>0.05). There was statistical difference between postoperative and preoperative average end-diastolic dimension of left atrium(42.1±8.9 mm vs. 53.4±11.1 mm,t =3.286,P<0.05)and NYHA classification(Z = -2.640,P<0.05). Conclusion Intravalvular implantation of morphologic tricuspid prosthesis can protect the physiological structure of morphologic right ventricular and prevent furtherdamage to its function caused by morphologic tricuspid valve insufficiency. Postoperative dimension of morphologic left atrium and cardiac function are significantly improved. The early and mid-term outcomes are satisfactory.
