AbstractThe growing unmet demand for suitable organ donors increases each year. Despite relative contraindications for thoracic organ donation after previous cardiac surgery, experienced programmes and surgeons can successfully utilise the lungs from select donors who have undergone prior cardiac surgery. This is the first reported case of double lung en bloc procurement from a donor who had a previous arterial switch operation as an infant.

Background: In this study, we aimed to examine the feasibility of arterial switch operation and its perioperative management with neonatology-focused intensive care modality in a region of Turkey where the birth rate and the number of asylum seekers who had to leave their country due to regional conflicts are high. Methods: Between December 2017 and June 2020, a total of 57 patients (48 males, 9 females; median age: 12.2 days; range, 2 to 50 days) who were diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries in our clinic and underwent arterial switch operation were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed by the neonatologist in the neonatal intensive care unit during the preoperative and postoperative period. Results: Thirty-eight (66.7%) patients had intact ventricular septum, 16 (28.1%) had ventricular septal defect, two (3.5%) had coarctation of the aorta, and one (1.7%) had Taussig-Bing anomaly. Coronary artery anomaly was present in 14 (24.5%) patients. The most common complications in the intensive care unit were renal failure requiring peritoneal dialysis in seven (12.3%) patients, supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in six (10.5%) patients, and eight (14%) patients left their chests open. The median length of stay in intensive care unit was 13.8 (range, 9 to 25) days and the median length of hospital stay was 24.5 (range, 16 to 47) days. The overall mortality rate for all patients was 12.3% (n=7). The median follow-up was 8.2 months. A pulmonary valve peak Doppler gradient of ≥36 mmHg was detected in five patients (8.7%) who were followed, and these patients were monitored by providing medical treatment. None of the patients needed reoperation or reintervention. Conclusion: We believe that arterial switch operation, one of the complex neonatal cardiac surgery, can be performed with an acceptable mortality and morbidity rate with the use of neonatology-focused intensive care modality, which is supported by pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiac surgery.

Ligoniai ir metodai Retrospektyviai nagrinėjami 48 ligoniai, kuriems mūsų centre buvo atlikta arterijų sukeitimo operacija. Daugeliu atvejų – tai d-transpozicija ir keturiais atvejais buvo dvigubas ištekėjimas iš dešiniojo skilvelio ir transpozicija (Taussig-Bing tipas). Operacijos atliktos naudojant dirbtinę kraujotaką, kartu atlikta anatomiškai radikali ydos korekcija. Rezultatai Nuo 2002 m. sausio mėn. iki 2007 m. kovo mėn. operuoti 27 kūdikiai. Šiuo laikotarpiu, išmokus operacijos technikos, taikyta standartinė operacijos metodika. Operacinis šios grupės mirtingumas 11%. Dažniausia mirties priežastis – miokardo išemija dėl nesėkmingos vainikinių arterijų perkėlimo procedūros, esant nepalankiai anatominei jų padėčiai. Dėl pooperacinių vėlyvųjų komplikacijų stebėti keturi ligoniai, kuriems buvo įvairaus laipsnio plaučių arterijos stenozė. Du ligoniai dėl šios komplikacijos operuoti. Išvados Arterijų sukeitimo operacijos kaip fiziologiškiausios yra pirmo pasirinkimo vaikams, kuriems yra stambiųjų kraujagyslių transpozicija. Pastaraisiais metais pasiekta gana gerų ir priimtinų mirtingumo ir kokybės rodiklių.

Patients and methods 48 children who underwent an arterial switch operation at our Centre were retrospectively reviewed. The underlying pathology was d-transposition of the great arteries and a double outlet right ventricle of Taussig-Bing transposition type in four cases. The operation was performed in cardiopulmonary bypass for anatomically repair of the transposition. Results From January 2002 – March 2007, 27 infants underwent an arterial switch operation. Operative mortality in this period was 11%, in most cases from myocardial ischemia following unsuccessful transfer of a dangerous pattern of coronary arteries. Postoperative morbidity occurred in four patients who presented various degrees of pulmonary stenosis artery. Two patients required reoperation. Conclusions The arterial switch operation is considered to be a procedure of choice for correction of transposition of the great arteries. The operation involves acceptable mortality and morbidity. Key words: arterial switch operation, Jatene operation, transposition of the great arteries
