  • Surgical Management of Bridging Bronchus Associated with Congenital Heart Disease and Tracheal Stenosis

    Objective To summarize our clinical experience of side-slide tracheoplasty in surgical management of bridging bronchus associated with congenital tracheal stenosis(CTS) and congenital heart disease (CHD). Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 8 bridging bronchus patients associated with CTS and CHD underwent tracheoplasty in our hospital from January 2010 through June 2015. There were 3 males and 5 females at age of 19.6±9.1 months and weight of 9.9±5.4 kg in our hospital. It was found that main tracheal associated with intermediate bronchus stenosis in 4 patients. Complete tracheal rings or bronchial rings were identified in all cases. Less than 50% normal tracheal size was found in all patients. Correction of CHD and tracheoplasty were done under cardiopulmonary bypass at the same stage. The technique of side-slide tracheoplasty was used in all patients. Results Average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 64.0±24.1 min. Average aortic clamp time was 14.0±18.1 min. No operative death occurred in hospital. The average duration of postoperative hospital stay was 20 d. Follow-up was completed in 8 patients. The duration of follow-up was 1 month to 5 years. Tracheal granulation occurred in one patient after six weeks of postoperation. The clinical symptoms improved significantly in the remaining patients. Conclusions Bridging bronchi has special anatomical features. The technique of side-slide tracheoplasty can be used to correct bridging bronchus associated with CTS with satisfactory outcomes.

  • Medical Results of One-stage Fontan Procedure in 116 Patients at A Single Institute

    ObjectiveTo analyze the outcomes of patients with one-stage Fontan procedure and short-term prognosis at a single institute. Method We retrospectively analyzed clinical records of 116 patients with one-stage Fontan procedure in our hospital from January 2008 through September 2013. There were 77 males and 39 females (36%), with median age 6.27 years (ranged 3.15 to 17.47 years) at the time of surgery and the median weight at 17.5 kg (ranged 10.0 to 80.0 kg). There were 55 patients with standard extracardiac conduit, 13 patients with direct extracardiac connection, 17 patients with intra-atrial or intra/extracardiac conduit, and 31 patients with lateral tunnel. ResultsMedian cardiopulmonary bypass time was 124 (61-256) minutes. Median cross-clamp time was 60 (19-152) minutes. There were six early deaths (5.1%). The overall median time of the cardiac intensive care unit stay was 4 (1-17) days, with a median ventilator support of 7.3 (1.0-181.0) hours. The mean room air saturation was 90.00%±4.68% before discharge. Median length of chest tube drainage was 10 (4-45) days. Multiple logistic analysis confirmed that heterotaxy syndrome was the only independent predictor for postoperative renal insufficiency. Operations with aortic cross-clamping (OR=26.184, 95% CI 1.712-400.451), preoperative sinus mode dysfunction (OR=6.777, 95% CI 1.495-30.721) and cross-clamp time over 60 minutes (OR=1.036, 95% CI 1.002-1.076) were predictors for prolonged chest tube drainage. A total of 110 patients were followed up for 17 (8-47) months with 2 deaths and 1 with thrombosis. No reoperation occurred. ConclusionThe one-stage Fontan procedure can be performed with satisfactory outcomes. Staged strategies for operations may be appropriately loosen for selected elder children.
