Įžanga / tikslasStraipsnio tikslas – apžvelgti stambiųjų kraujagyslių transpozicijos chirurginio gydymo Vilniaus universiteto Medicinos fakulteto Širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų klinikoje ir Vilniaus universiteto ligoninės Santariškių klinikų Širdies chirurgijos centre 2007–2013 metų rezultatus.Ligoniai ir metodaiAtlikta retrospektyvi visų ligonių, operuotų dėl D-stambiųjų kraujagyslių transpozicijos 2007 m. sausio–2013 m. spalio mėn., ligos istorijų analizė. Visiems ligoniams buvo atlikta anatominė ydos korekcija – arterijų sukeitimo (Jatene) operacija.RezultataiAnkstyvuoju pooperaciniu laikotarpiu nuo širdies nepakankamumo mirė vienas ligonis. Ankstyvas pooperacinis tirtų ligonių mirštamumas siekia 2,9 %. Iš karto po operacijos nustatyti 3 (9,1 %) nedidelio laipsnio aortos vožtuvo nesandarumo atvejai, nė vienam ligoniui nepasitaikė plautinio kamieno vožtuvo patologijos. Kitos ankstyvosios pooperacinės komplikacijos: kraujavimas, žaizdos infekcija ir inkstų funkcijos nepakankamumas, sėkmingai gydytos. Vėlyvuoju laikotarpiu po pakartotinės operacijos (dešiniojo skilvelio infundibulektomijos ir dvikryptės Glenn jungties suformavimo dėl nustatytos povožtuvinės plautinio kamieno stenozės) nuo kilusios pneumonijos ir sepsinio šoko mirė vienas ligonis (3 %). Septyniems ligoniams (21,8 %) nustatytas aortos vožtuvo nesandarumas (5 (15,6 %) – I laipsnio aortos vožtuvo nesandarumas, 2 (6,2 %) – I–II laipsnio), o dviem (6 %) – plautinio kamieno vožtuvo nesandarumas (1 (3 %) – I laipsnio plautinio kamieno vožtuvo nesandarumas, 1 (3 %) – II laipsnio). Bendras operuotų ligonių 5 metų išgyvenamumas sudaro 94 %.IšvadosSantariškių klinikose pasiekti geri ankstyvieji ir vėlyvieji stambiųjų kraujagyslių transpozicijos gydymo rezultatai. Ligoniai, turintys aortos vožtuvo nesandarumą, turėtų būti stebimi dėl galimo ydos progresavimo. Be to, duomenų kaupimas ir patirties analizė svarbūs, kad gerėtų gydymo rezultatai.Reikšminiai žodžiai: stambiųjų kraujagyslių transpozicija, arterijų sukeitimo operacija, Jatene operacija, įgimtos širdies ydos.Transposition of the great arteries: the last 5-year experience of the Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Clinics Heart Surgery Center Background / objectiveThe main goal of the study was to review our experience in treating patients with a D-transposition of great arteries in 2007–2013 at the Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine Clinic of Cardiovascular Diseases and the Vilnius University HospitalSantariškių Clinics Heart Surgery Center.Patients and methodsWe have reviewed 34 patients who underwent an arterial switch operation in January 2007 – October 2013 at our center. Complete anatomical repair – arterial switch (Jatene) procedure – was performed in all cases.ResultsOne patient died from heart failure short after surgery. The postoperative mortality was 2.9%. The postoperative complications included bleeding, wound infection, and renal failure, and were treated successfully. In 3 (9.1%) patients, in the earlypostoperative period echocardiographically a trivial or slight aortic valve insufficiency was found. No pulmonary valve pathology was noted. During the follow-up period, one patient underwent a reoperation (right ventricle infundibulectomy and a bidirectional Glenn operation) due to a subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. This patient died of pneumonia and septic shock. The periodic echocardiographic investigation revealed that the number of aortic valve insufficiency (7 patients, 21.8%) slightlyincreased: 5 (15.6%) patients had a mild and 2 (6.2%) a mild-moderate aortic valve regurgitation. Two (6 %) instances of pulmonary valve insufficiency, 1 case (3%) of mild pulmonary valve insufficiency and 1 (3%) mild-moderate case were found.The cumulative survival rate of our patients was 94% for 5 years.ConclusionsWe have achieved good early and late postoperative results in treating patients with a D-transposition of the great arteries. Patients with aortic valve insufficiency should be followed for the further evaluation of the aortic valve function. Besides, our studyhas shown that the data collection and a routine analysis of patient treatment experience are necessary to achieve better results.Key words: transposition of the great arteries, arterial switch operation, Jatene operation, congenital heart defects

Introduction: Neo-aortic root dilation (ARD) is common after arterial switch operation (ASO) for D-loop transposition of the great arteries (TGA). We sought to compare short and long-term outcomes for bicuspid native pulmonary valve (BNPV) patients to those with normal trileaflet variants (TNPV). Methods: A retrospective cohort of TGA patients undergoing ASO at Boston Children’s Hospital from 1989-2018 was analyzed, matching BNPV patients 1:3 with TNPV patients by year of ASO; those with >mild subpulmonary stenosis or complex TGA were excluded. Categorical and continuous variables were compared using Fisher’s exact and Wilcoxon rank sum tests, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses with log-rank test compared groups for time to first reoperation on the neo-aortic valve, first occurrence of ≥moderate neo-aortic regurgitation (AR), and ARD defined as root z-score ≥4. Hazard ratios were estimated based on the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: A total of 83 BNPV patients were matched with 217 TNPV. BNPV patients were more likely to have a VSD (75% vs 44%, p <0.001). Early surgical outcomes including hospital LOS (11 vs 10 days) and 30-day mortality (3.6% vs 2.8%) were similar. During median 10 years follow-up, neo-aortic valve reoperation occurred in 4 BNPV (6%) vs 6 TNPV (3%) patients, with no statistically significant difference in time to reoperation. More BNPV patients had AR at discharge (4.9% vs 0%, p=0.014) and during follow-up (13.4% vs 4.3%, HR 3.9, p=0.004), with shorter time to first occurrence of AR (Figure 1A); this remained significant after adjusting for presence of VSD. Similarly, ARD was more common in BNPV (45% vs 37%, HR 1.64, p=0.02) with shorter time to first occurrence (Figure 1B). Conclusions: While patients with BNPV have similar short-term ASO outcomes, AR and ARD occur more frequently and earlier compared with TNPV patients. Further long-term studies are needed to determine whether this results in greater need for neo-aortic valve reoperation.

Background Neo‐aortic root dilation and neo‐aortic regurgitation (AR) are common after arterial switch operation for D‐loop transposition of the great arteries. We sought to evaluate these outcomes in patients with bicuspid native pulmonary valve (BNPV). Methods and Results A retrospective analysis of patients with transposition of the great arteries undergoing arterial switch operation at Boston Children's Hospital from 1989 to 2018 matched BNPV patients 1:3 with patients with tricuspid native pulmonary valve by year of arterial switch operation. Kaplan–Meier analyses with log‐rank test compared groups for time to first neo‐aortic valve reoperation, occurrence of ≥moderate AR, and neo‐aortic root dilation (root z score ≥4). A total of 83 patients with BNPV were matched with 217 patients with tricuspid native pulmonary valve. Patients with BNPV more often had ventricular septal defects (73% versus 43%; P <0.001). Hospital length of stay (11 versus 10 days) and 30‐day surgical mortality (3.6% versus 2.8%) were similar. During median 11 years follow‐up, neo‐aortic valve reoperation occurred in 4 patients with BNPV (6.0%) versus 6 patients with tricuspid native pulmonary valve (2.8%), with no significant difference in time to reoperation. More BNPV had AR at discharge (4.9% versus 0%; P =0.014) and during follow‐up (13.4% versus 4.3%; hazard ratio [HR], 3.9; P =0.004), with shorter time to first occurrence of AR; this remained significant after adjusting for ventricular septal defects. Similarly, neo‐aortic root dilation was more common in BNPV (45% versus 38%; HR, 1.64; P =0.026) with shorter time to first occurrence. Conclusions While patients with BNPV have similar short‐term arterial switch operation outcomes, AR and neo‐aortic root dilation occur more frequently and earlier compared with patients with tricuspid native pulmonary valve. Further long‐term studies are needed to determine whether this results in greater need for neo‐aortic valve reoperation.
