AbstractHybrid cardiac surgery involves simultaneous catheter based and surgical treatment of heart diseases. We report a complete repair of dextro-transposition of the great arteries and perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defects in a 5-month-old girl. This included an arterial switch operation followed by an off-bypass, echocardiographically guided per-ventricular muscular ventricular septal defect closure.

From January 1991' to May 1994, 29 patients with double outlet right ventricle with ventricular septal defect, without pulmonary stenosis underwent primary intracardiac repair at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Patients were classified into 4 groups based on location of the ventricular septal defect. The ventricular septal defect was subaortic in 11, subpulmonary in 13, doubly committed subarterial in 1, and noncommitted in 4 patients. Surgical treatment consisted of intraventricular routing of the left ventricle to the aorta (17), and the left ventricle to the pulmonary artery followed by an arterial switch operation (12). There were 4 (13.9%) early deaths. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 3 years (mean, 1.5 years). There was no late mortality. Three patients had residual ventricular septal defect, one of whom has undergone reoperation. One patient has a gradient of 25 mmHg across the left ventricular outflow tract. Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect was found to be a significant risk factor for early mortality (p = 0.03). The subgroup of double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect who had a combination of single coronary artery and post arterial switch operation was particularly prone to pulmonary hypertensive crisis and hospital death (p = 0.002).

AbstractA ventricular septal defect in transposition of the great arteries is frequently closely related to the cardiac valves. The valvar function after arterial switch operation of patients with transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect or intact ventricular septum was compared. We analysed the function of all cardiac valves in patients who underwent the arterial switch operations pre- and post-operatively, 1 year after the procedure and on follow-up. The study included 92 patients – 64 with transposition of the great arteries/intact ventricular septum and 28 with transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect. The median age at surgery was 5.5 days in transposition of the great arteries/intact ventricular septum (0–73 days) and 7.0 days in transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect (4–41 days). Follow-up was 51.7 months in transposition of the great arteries/intact ventricular septum (3.3–177.3 months) and 55 months in transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect (14.6–164.7 months). Neo-aortic, neo-pulmonary, and mitral valvar function did not differ. Tricuspid regurgitation was more frequent 1 year post-operatively in transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect (n = 4) than in transposition of the great arteries/intact ventricular septum. The prevalence of neo-aortic regurgitation and pulmonary stenosis increased over time, especially in patients with transposition of the great arteries/intact ventricular septum. The presence of a ventricular septal defect in patients undergoing arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries only has a minor bearing for the development of valvar dysfunction on the longer follow-up.

AbstractWe evaluated the physical characteristics of the pulmonary trunk in 32 patients with complete transposition after the arterial switch operation, calculating the pulmonary input impedance. In 6 of the patients, the characteristic impedance was equal to, or less than, the value in patients with ventricular septal defect. In those patients with an intact ventricular septum, or those with a ventricular septal defect who had undergone the arterial switch operation or banding of the pulmonary trunk before 3 months age, the frequency of the first modulus minimum also agreed with the values obtained in patients with ventricular septal defect. The value was high, however, in patients with complete transposition with ventricular septal defect who had undergone an arterial switch operation or banding of the pulmonary trunk after 4 months of age. Our data suggest decreased distensibility of the proximal pulmonary trunk after the arterial switch operation, and mild changes in the pulmonary vasculature in patients with complete transposition with ventricular septal defect who had undergone either an arterial switch operation or banding of the pulmonary trunk after 4 months of age. Long-term follow-up is needed clarify whether or not these features affect right ventricular function by means of an increase in afterload.
