Abstract Background: Yasui procedure is surgical repair intended to preserve biventricular function for patients with left ventricle outflow tract obstruction associated with aortic arch lesions and ventricular septal defect. Methods: Retrospective chart review analysis of all patients who had Yasui procedure (2008–2020) comparing midterm outcome of one versus two stage repair. Results: Twenty patients (70% female) underwent Yasui procedure in our center. Eight patients (40%) had left ventricle outflow tract obstruction /interrupted aortic arch, 7 patients (35%) had left ventricle outflow tract obstruction /coarctation of aorta, 3 patients (15%) had double outlet ventricle and ventricular septal defect that were unattainable for tunneling to one of the semilunar valves without creating obstruction, and 2 patients (10%) had aortic atresia with hypoplastic aortic arch. All patients had associated ventricular septal defect. Fifteen patients (75%) had one-stage repair and 5 patients (25%) had two-stage repair. Means age and weight for one and two-stage repair were 1.3 ± 2 months, 13.4 ± 11.5 months and 3.3 ± 0.6 kg, 7.8 ± 3.4 kg, respectively. During follow up, 8 patients (40%) required re- intervention, mainly for right ventricle–pulmonary artery conduit either dilation or replacement. The average duration of follow up was 5 years with nil mortality. Conclusion: Yasui procedure is effective approach for children who have left ventricle outflow tract obstruction associated with aortic arch anomalies and ventricular septal defect. Survival rate with single or staged repair is comparably good. During the first 5 year of follow up, nearly 40% of operated patients required re-intervention.

Abstract An 18-month-old male with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect presented with stridor after neonatal systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt surgery, that persisted on follow-up. CT angiography revealed a vascular ring with balanced double aortic arch.

AbstractBackgroundInterrupted aortic arch is often associated with subaortic narrowing and hypoplasia of the aortic orifice. The best surgical strategy for the management of these additional lesions is a matter of current debate.Methods and ResultsBetween 1986 and 1996, 19 patients underwent repair of interrupted aortic arch with closure of ventricular septal defect in a single stage, with no attempt at subaortic resection, irrespective of the dimensions of the left ventricular outflow tract. There was no perioperative hospital mortality, and all patients were alive at 1 year. Follow-up ranges from 0.75 −10 years, with a mean 4.2 ± 3.0 years. Seven patients (37%) have required reintervention for relief of subaortic stenosis, 2 of whom have died.ConclusionsOur results suggest that primary one-stage biventricular repair can be accomplished with low perioperative mortality without addressing the subaortic region. Further long-term follow-up will determine whether this is accomplished at the expense of later morbidity and mortality.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The outcomes of the single-stage surgical repair of aortic arch hypoplasia (AAH) and/or coarctation of the aorta (CoA) associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD) remain controversial, especially in a lower middle-income country. This study reports the results of a single-stage repair protocol at our institution for AAH/CoA with VSD using selective cerebral perfusion. METHODS This retrospective study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent single-stage repair via median sternotomy using selective cerebral perfusion for AAH/CoA with VSD from July 2010 to March 2017. RESULTS The patients consisted of 65 males and 35 females. The median age of the patients was 67 days (range 4–2266 days); the median weight was 3.8 kg (range 2.1–15 kg). The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 132 ± 28 min, the aortic cross-clamp time was 92 ± 23 min and the selective cerebral perfusion time was 33 ± 10 min. The survival rate of all patients was 94.7 ± 2.3%, with an in-hospital mortality of 5% and no late mortality at a median follow-up of 37 months (range 4–96 months). Four patients required reoperation due to recoarctation. The overall event-free survival rate following surgery was 87.1%. The median pressure gradient across the anastomosis at the last follow-up was 8.3 ± 2.8 mmHg. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed proximal aortic arch obstruction as a predictor of mortality (odds ratio = 3.8). The aortic isthmus diameter was identified as a predictor for reintervention by Cox regression (hazard ratio = 6.7). CONCLUSIONS Single-stage repair for AAH/CoA with VSD is safe and feasible in a developing country.

AbstractBackgroundThe surgical treatment for complex forms ofd-transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction remains controversial. In this study, we describe the classical surgical options – namely, the Rastelli procedure and the “réparation à l’étage ventriculaire” – and present our experience with the modified Nikaidoh procedure with early and short-term follow-up results.MethodsBetween 2007 and 2014, four patients withd-transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction underwent surgical repair at our institution by means of a modified Nikaidoh procedure.ResultsWith a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, survival was 100%, and none of the patients required re-intervention or mechanical circulatory support. There was no recurrence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and no aortic valve regurgitation classified as more than mild. Left ventricular function was preserved.ConclusionsAortic translocation with the modified Nikaidoh procedure is a safe and effective surgical treatment for certain complex forms of transposition of the great arteries, particularly those associated with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It is associated with less need for re-intervention and better morbidity and mortality results in the short- and mid-term follow-up, when compared with the classical alternatives such as the Rastelli procedure.
