<p>Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a congenital heart disease that causes the connection between left and right ventricles called a Gerbode defect. Manifestation of a Gerbode defect is damage to the opening tricuspid valve caused regurgitation of the tricuspid valve. Delay in diagnosis and intervention will affect pre-operative nutritional status and malnutrition.</p><p>We reported a boy aged 2 months, weighing 3100 grams with biliary atresia followed by VSD, severe TR, and Gerbode defect who will undergo the Kasai procedure. Preoperative physical examination showed GCS E4V5M6, SpO2 100%. The skin gets icteric all over the body and conjunctiva. The cardiovascular system has a regular I-II heart sound, 2/3 mid clavicular S noise as high as 2 ICS and a pansystolic murmur. The examination of the abdomen is slight distended. Child pug score 8. Hemoglobin value 6.7gr%, hematocrite 37%, APTT 44.8 seconds, SGOT 443 U / L, SGPT 560 U / L, total bilirubin 23.89 mg / dl, direct bilirubin 13.92 mg / dl, and indirect bilirubin 9.97 mg / dl.</p><p>The goal of anesthesia in VSD, Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) with Gerbode Defect is preventing excessive ventilation to avoid severe pulmonary hypertension. The choice of anesthetic agent is based on the patient's physiology and balancing pulmonary and systemic blood flow. Perioperative management of cases of VSD, TR Severe with Gerbode defect in the following report describes the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of VSD and Gerbode defects to obtain a good outcome.</p><p>Perioperative management of VSD patients, severe tricuspid regurgitation with Gerbode defect requires more supervision, especially to minimize the increase in PVR, maintain systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and avoid excessive ventilation to prevent severe pulmonary hypertension.</p>

The aim of the study was to review our experience with atrial septal defect (ASD) closure with a fenestrated patch in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. Between July 2004 and February 2009, 16 patients with isolated ASD underwent closure with a fenestrated patch. All patients had a secundum type ASD and severe pulmonary hypertension. Patients ranged in age from 6 to 57 years (mean � SD, 34.9 � 13.5 years). The follow-up period was 9 to 59 months (mean, 34.5 � 13.1 months). The ranges of preoperative systolic and pulmonary arterial pressures were 63 to 119 mm Hg (mean, 83.8 � 13.9 mm Hg) and 37 to 77 mm Hg (mean, 51.1 � 10.1 mm Hg). The ranges of preoperative values for the ratio of the pulmonary flow to the systemic flow and for pulmonary arterial resistance were 1.1 to 2.7 (mean, 1.95 � 0.5) and 3.9 to 16.7 Wood units (mean, 9.8 � 2.9 Wood units), respectively. There was no early or late mortality. Tricuspid annuloplasty was performed in 14 patients (87.5%). The peak tricuspid regurgitation gradient and the ratio of the systolic pulmonary artery pressure to the systemic arterial pressure were decreased in all patients. The New York Heart Association class and the grade of tricuspid regurgitation were improved in 13 patients (81.2%) and 15 patients (93.7%), respectively. ASD closure in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension can be performed safely if we create fenestration. Tricuspid annuloplasty and a Cox maze procedure may improve the clinical result. Close observation and follow-up will be needed to validate the long-term benefits.

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.

AbstractPatients with a significant left-to-right shunt at ventricular level may become inoperable at an early age due to irreversible pulmonary vascular disease. On the other hand, even suprasystemic pulmonary hypertension due to mitral stenosis remains treatable. We report a 24-year-old patient with large ventricular septal defect, severe mitral stenosis and cyanosis who improved after surgical correction of both the lesions. This emphasises the importance of additional post-capillary pulmonary hypertension in Eisenmenger syndrome.
