AbstractA clinical case of successful repair of a combination of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with collector stenosis in one-day-old newborn. Only one case of successful correction of such a pathology is reported previously. The operation was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass and temporary antegrade brain perfusion. The narrowed aortic area was resected, the integrity of the aortic arch was restored using an extended anastomosis, and TAPVC correction was performed using a “sutureless technique”. The postoperative period was uneventful. The newborn was discharged from hospital on the 12th day.

We describe the lateral approach to the surgical repair of a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in this video tutorial. The goal of the operation is to create an unobstructed anastomosis between the pulmonary confluence and the left atrium, ligate the systemic venous connections, and close the atrial septal defect. After a median sternotomy and initial dissection of the structures surrounding the heart, cardiopulmonary bypass is initiated by aortobicaval cannulation. The patient is then cooled to attain mild hypothermia (30°C). The heart is arrested by a dose of antegrade cold cardioplegia. The right pleural cavity is opened widely. The heart is retracted and pushed into the right pleural cavity. The vertical vein is ligated near its connection with the innominate vein. An incision is made along the length of the confluence, stopping short of the individual pulmonary veins. The left atrial appendage is retracted, and the left atrium is opened in alignment with the opening in the confluence. The left atrium and the pulmonary confluence are anastomosed widely with 7-0 polypropylene suture material. The heart is put back into the mediastinum. Rewarming is started. The atrial septal defect is closed through the right atrium using a large untreated autologous pericardium patch. The patient is then weaned off cardiopulmonary bypass.

<p><strong>Aim.</strong> To compare complications and outcomes in the postoperative period with two different methods for correcting total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.</p><p><strong>Methods. </strong>In this pilot, two-centre, simple, blind, prospective randomised study, the patients’ quality of life after correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in infancy was evaluated using the sutureless (n = 20) and conventional repair methods (n = 20) in 40 patients. The overall mortality and complications in the mid-term were evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The average follow-up was 15 (13; 16) months. Mortality was noted only in the conventional repair group, amounting to 5 (25%) patients (p = 0.018). Severe obstruction of the pulmonary veins anastomosis was also noted only in the conventional repair group (n = 8, 40%; p = 0.0013). Infectious endocarditis was observed in one (6.6%) patient in the conventional repair group (p = 0.42). Arrhythmias were present in 4 (26.6%) patients in the conventional repair group (p = 0.02).</p><p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> The rates of obstruction of the pulmonary vein anastomosis, arrhythmias and death depend on the method of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection correction. The sutureless repair reduces the incidence of early and mid-term postoperative complications compared to conventional repair.</p><p>Received 16 March 2021. Revised 8 June 2021.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital heart disease in which there is developmental absence of connection of all four pulmonary veins with the left atrium. To report a rare case and share our experience in surgery and post-operative management for supracardiac TAPVC. Patient with supracardiac TAPVC with atrial septal defect (ASD) secundum variety with rudimentary patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) underwent rechanneling of pulmonary veins to left atrium (LA) with gluteryldehye treated autologous pericardial patch closure of ASD with ligation of ascending vertical vein and ligation of rudimentary PDA.Post operatively there were no events of pulmonary hypertensive crisis, low cardiac output syndrome, right heart failure or conduction defect were observed and echocardiogram showed adequate pulmonary venous drainage with no residual shunt across the interatrial septum. Marked development in surgical results of TAPVC has been observed in recent years with declining mortality rate from 65% in early sixties to 5% in current surgical scenerio.

Background. In recent years, various methods of combined anesthesia during abdominal surgery have been introduced into clinical practice.Aim. To demonstrate the possibilities of a combination of high prolonged spinal anesthesia and endotracheal anesthesia during abdominal surgery.Materials and methods. A clinical case of combined use of high prolonged spinal anesthesia and endotracheal anesthesia in a 48-year-old patient with a tumor in the right half of the ascending part of the right half of the colon is presented.Results. The patient received a puncture of the spinal space at a standard point and was installed a spinal catheter in the cranial direction for 3 cm. An isobaric solution of marcaine in the initial dose of 20 mg was injected into the catheter. The regulation of the development of the block was regulated by the inclination of the head end of the table by 60°. After that endotracheal anesthesia was performed on the basis of fentanyl and propofol. This combination allowed to expand the scope of surgical intervention, provided adequate pain relief intraoperatively and in the postoperative period, without the use of narcotic analgesics. With the appearance of signs of recovery of pain sensitivity, intraoperatively or in the postoperative period, re-introduction of the anesthetic into the spinal catheter was performed in half of the initial dose with liquor barbotage. In the early postoperative period, the patient was on strict bed rest with a head end of the bed raised at 30–45°. The method provides complete segmental blockade and muscle relaxation in the area of operation, stability of central hemodynamics during surgery and in the postoperative period.Conclusion. This type of anesthesia is more easily tolerated by patients, accompanied by early awakening and extubation, characterized by stability of central hemodynamics, reduced risk of complications, the possibility of prolonging anesthesia with lower doses of narcotic analgesics in the intraoperative period, providing high-quality anesthesia in the postoperative period without resorting to the use of narcotic analgesics.

AbstractKlippel–Feil syndrome is a skeletal disorder characterised by low hairline and a short neck due to abnormal fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. Although congenital heart and lung defects are infrequent, some abnormalities such as cor triatriatum, coarctation of the aorta, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, or lung agenesis have been reported. The challenge of recognising Klippel–Feil syndrome lies in the fact that there is an association of this syndrome with other significant conditions such as skeletal, genitourinary, neurological, ear, and some cardiac defects. We report a Klippel–Feil syndrome type III 14-year-old patient with a levo-looped transposition of the great arteries. In addition, the patient had agenesis of the left upper-lung lobe.

The clinical case demonstrates inconsistencies between the results of thromboelastography and conventional coagulation lab tests at the early postoperative period of patient undergoing cardiosurgery. The analyzing of the revealed discrepancy proves that the opposition of laboratory methods as 'one against the other' for studying the hemostatic system is unacceptable.
