Objectives: Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA/VSD/MAPCAs) is complex and diverse that has led to a variety of treatment strategies. Experience has been largely obtained in the advanced countries. The clinical diversity is greater in China. We evaluated our surgical approaches and outcomes of these patients.Methods: We reviewed 127 patients undergoing varied surgeries in our center in 2010–2019.Results: Thirty patients underwent single-stage complete repair by unifocalizing MAPCAs and VSD closure (aged 3.9–131.4 months, median 22) with 3 (10%) early deaths. Ninety-seven underwent the first-stage rehabilitation strategy including systemic-to-pulmonary shunt in 29 (aged 0.5–144 month, median 8), and palliative RV-PA conduit in 68 (aged 2.2–209.6 months, median 14) with 5 (5.2%) early deaths. Eight-one patients (63.8%) eventually achieved complete repair with a median right/left ventricular (RV/LV) pressure ratio of 0.7 (ranged 0.4–1.0). Fourteen patients (11.0%) accepted palliation as final destination. Survival for the entire cohort was 89.5, 85.2, and 76.1% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. Survival for those undergoing complete repair was 88.2 and 76.6% at 1 and 5 year, respectively. RV/LV pressure ratio ≥0.8 was risk factor for mortality (HR10.3, p = 0.003).Conclusions: Our cohort, the largest from China, had distinctive clinical features with substantially wider age range and higher RV/LV pressure ratio. Using the combined approaches tailored to individual patients, complete repair was achieved in 64% of patients. The early and intermediate outcomes are acceptable compared to many of the previous reports.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between long-term survival and different management of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Methods: From November, 2009 to October, 2018, a total of 98 consecutive patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, and hypoplastic pulmonary arteries treated with modified Blalock–Taussig shunt or right ventricle–pulmonary artery connection were included. Fifty-five patients who received occlusion or ligation of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries during or after palliative procedure were occlusion group, and the other 43 patients were no occlusion group. The early and late outcomes were compared. Results: The mean duration of follow-up was 30.9 months in no occlusion group and 49.8 months in the occlusion group (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that only no occlusion of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries was predictive of total mortality (Hazard Ratio: 4.42, 95% CI: 1.27 to 15.42, p = 0.02). The Kaplan–Meier survival curves confirmed that patients without occlusion of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries demonstrated worse survival as compared with the occlusion group (p = 0.013). The Kaplan–Meier survival curves of patients who underwent different palliative procedures showed no differences. Conclusions: For patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries when a primary repair is not feasible, those without occlusion of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries have a higher risk of death following an initial palliative procedure compared with patients who underwent occlusion of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. The occlusion of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries is not associated with a higher rate of complete repair or better improvement of pulmonary artery growth.
