Background: Infracardiac obstructive total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) has a poor outcome following surgical correction. We compared the surgical outcomes of obstructive TAPVR between non-infracardiac and infracardiac types. Methods: Among 51 patients who underwent surgical repair for obstructive TAPVR, 23 with infracardiac type and 28 with non-infracardiac type were included in this investigation. The study compared the immediate postoperative courses in the intensive care unit and long-term mortality and pulmonary vein stenosis. The risk factors for long-term survival in obstructive TAPVR also were investigated. Results: The postoperative follow-up period was 79.8 ± 81.5 months. Immediate major operative complications were observed in 22 patients (43.1%); 10 patients (19.6%) died, and eight patients (15.7%) experienced pulmonary vein stenosis during the follow-up period. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed better cumulative survival in patients with infracardiac TAPVR (P = 0.308). The significant factors for survival after surgical repair of obstructive TAPVR did not include anatomical type but instead were postoperative course of ventilator care and lengths of intensive care unit and hospital stays. Conclusion: Patients with non-infracardiac TAPVR with obstruction had a longer postoperative course and experienced more complications. Their survival rate was poorer, and postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis was more frequent in those patients compared with infracardiac TAPVR patients. However, a large-scale study is mandatory to gather more data and confirm our findings.

Abstract Background Catheter ablation in patients with long-standing persistent AF (LSPAF) remains challenging and often requires repeated procedures with variable results. We report long-term outcomes of a bipolar thoracoscopic pulmonary vein and left atrial posterior wall ablation for LSPAF, and compare continuous and interval rhythm monitoring. Methods Seventy-seven LSPAF patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary vein and box isolation between 2009–2017 in two Dutch centers were included. Follow-up consisted of continuous rhythm monitoring using an implanted loop recorder or 24-h Holter at 3/6/12/24/60 months. Results Mean age was 59±8 years with a median AF duration of 3.8 [1.2–6.3] years. In the total cohort, at 2-year follow-up, 86.0% of patients were in sinus rhythm, 12.3% were in paroxysmal AF and 1.6% in persistent AF. At 5 years, 62.9% of patients were in sinus rhythm, 20.0% in paroxysmal AF, 14.3% in persistent AF and 2.9% was experiencing atrial flutter. Continuous rhythm monitoring was performed in 46% of patients. Comparing continuous and interval rhythm monitoring, freedom from any atrial arrhythmia episode at 2- and 5 years was 60.0% and 49.9% in the continuous group and 93.8% and 51.9% in the interval monitoring group, respectively (p=0.02, Breslow-Wilcoxon test). In patients with continuous rhythm monitoring the mean atrial arrhythmia burden was reduced from 99.1% preoperatively to 0.1% at the end of the blanking period and 7.3% at 2-year follow-up. Conclusions Thoracoscopic box ablation is highly effective in restoring sinus rhythm at medium term follow-up. However, it is not a curative treatment as demonstrated by the 50% arrhythmia-free survival at long-term follow-up. Whether this is due to the progressive nature of AF needs further investigation. Continuous rhythm monitoring shows earlier recurrence detection with a potential early treatment adaptation. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
