Abstract Case Summary A 16 month old, 8.2 kg patient came forward for evaluation of complex cardiac anatomy with multimodality imaging assessment to ascertain suitability for biventricular repair. A large ventricular septal defect was diagnosed before birth but possible straddling of the tricuspid valve identified postnatally. The patient developed symptoms of congestive cardiac failure and was palliated with a pulmonary artery band. In view of the difficult nature of the defect they were reviewed with 3D-transthoracic echo, transoesophageal echo and cardiac MRI. Their transthoracic echo confirmed situs solitus with levocardia, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance. There was a well placed pulmonary artery band with peak velocity of 5 m/s. Biventricular systolic function appeared good. There was a large ventricular septal defect at the inlet extending to the muscular septum. There were 2 prominent muscle bundles arising from the ventricular apex and it was difficult to distinguish on echocardiography which of these formed the true ventricular septum (Figures A & B). Although the tricuspid valve opened normally, there were multiple chords extending to overlie the right ventricular aspect of the ventricular septal defect (Figure C), some of which appeared to cross the through defect (*) and attach to the more leftward of the apical trabeculations (Figure D white dotted line illustrates the true plane of ventricular septum which overlies the attachments. Red dotted line represents the plane followed by the leftward apical trabeculation). Cardiac MRI showed that the trabeculation positioned to the left was the true ventricular septum, as it seemed to be in line with the plane of the atrial septum at the crux of the heart (Figure E & F). At surgery her heart was found to be unseptatable due to multiple straddling chords from the tricuspid valve inserting into multiple papillary muscle heads with the left ventricle. Conclusions The key issue in this case is which of the muscular structures positioned at the ventricular apex is considered to be the true ventricular septum as this determines whether on not there is straddle of the tricuspid valve. In addition the complex and multiple nature of the chordal attachments below the valve made accessing and closing the defect not feasible. Even in the present era with wide availability of advanced, multimodality imaging techniques demonstrating anatomy can still prove challenging in planning surgical repair, especially within the setting of complex congenital heart disease. Many aspects of such cases still only become apparent at the time of surgery and this remains a key issue when counselling parents. Abstract P1730 Figure.

Summary A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether the tricuspid valve detachment (TVD) approach to ventricular septal defect repair provides superior outcomes compared with the non-TVD approach. Altogether more than 54 papers were found using the reported search, of which 10 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. A total of 2059 participants were enrolled in the 10 studies, including 2 prospective studies and 8 retrospective studies. Six studies demonstrated a longer cardiopulmonary bypass time or aortic clamp time in the TVD group, whereas 4 studies showed no difference. Only 1 study reported a lower incidence of trivial tricuspid regurgitation in the TVD group, whereas the other 9 studies showed no significant difference. One study showed that a higher incidence of residual shunting occurred in those patients who had indications for TVD but did not perform detachment during surgery. No difference in postoperative residual shunting was demonstrated in the other 9 studies. We conclude that surgeons should be reassured that if TVD is required to repair the ventricular septal defect, although it may lead to longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and cross-clamp times, outcomes are equivalent in terms of the degree of tricuspid regurgitation and incidence of the residual ventricular septal defect.

Corrected Transposition

Between February 1964 and June 1994, we operated on 53 patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries associated with cardiac anomalies. Their ages ranged from 2.5 to 37 years (mean 15.9 years). There were 36 patients with type SLL and 17 with type IDD. Forty-three patients had ventricular septal defect with pulmonary stenosis, 7 had VSD with pulmonary hypertension and only 3 patients had atrioventricular valve incompetence without ventricular septal defect. Atrial septal defects were found in 13 cases and patent ductus arteriosus in 2. The main operative procedures were closure of ventricular septal defect (49), closure of atrial septal defect (13), resection of pulmonary stenosis (43) and pulmonary annulus enlargement (3). Additional procedures were bypass between the morphological left ventricle and the pulmonary artery using valved external conduit (4), tricuspid valve repair (4), tricuspid valve replacement (4) and one Fontan operation. Nine patients died (17%) within 30 days of operation. The mortality rate decreased from 29.2% to 6.9% after 1988. The main cause of early death was low cardiac output syndrome. The most common perioperative complications were complete heart block (5) and residual tricuspid valve incompetence (4). Forty of the 44 survivors were followed up from 2 months to 5 years. There were 2 late deaths due to tricuspid incompetence. Our surgical experience in the prevention of operative complications are discussed.
