  • Surgical treatment of tracheal or bronchial stenosis related to severe congenital heart disease

    Objective To explore a new surgical treatment of patients with severe congenital heart disease associated with tracheal or bronchial stenosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 32 patients with severe pulmonary blood increased congenital heart disease complicated with tracheal or bronchial stenosis in our hospital between June 2010 and June 2014. There were 18 males and 13 females with an average age of 14.6±4.0 months and a weight of 8.8±3.0 kg. Results Average hospital stay was 12 days. Duration of intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass was 65.0±21.0 min. Duration of aortic interruption was 42.0±16.0 min. Duration of postoperative ventilator was 25.0±18.0 h. ICU retention time was 4.0±1.8 d. All patients were survived. On the 9th day after surgery, the X-ray chest film revealed that the cardio-thoracic ratio was reduced compared with pre-operation but no statistical significance (P>0.05). Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) was decreased (P<0.05). Pulmonary artery pressure was lower (P<0.01). The velocity of bloodstream in pulmonary artery was approximately normal. The computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the 9th day after surgery revealed that diameter of pulmonary artery in all patients reduced compared with that of pre-operation (P<0.01). Tracheal diameter of 28 patients returned to normal level and 3 patients had residual mild tracheal stenosis. All preoperative atelectasis recovered to normal level. All patients recovered completely. When the patients were followed up for 6 months to 4 years, the patients grew healthily and no abnormity occurred. Conclusion For the patients with tracheal or bronchial stenosis related to severe congenital heart disease,it is necessary to adopt surgical procedure to relieve the pressure of trachea or bronchus.The bronchial decompression surgery is a perfect and effective method for the patients with tracheal or bronchial stenosis related to severe congenital heart disease.
