A 16-year-old hemophilia-A patient presented with symptomatic atrial septal defect (ASD). Managing bleeding during cardiovascular surgeries is a significant challenge, even for none-hemophilic patients, due to heparin administration, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coagulopathy and surgical complications. This essay is an effort to discuss ASD, CPB effects on the coagulation system, and highlight some approaches to lower bleeding in hemophilic patients with congenital heart disease.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute renal injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cardiac surgery in infants with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods: Single-center data from a total of 613 infants with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiothoracic surgery in Fujian Union Hospital.The included patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of AKI: AKI group (n = 68) and non-AKI group (n = 92). We obtained clinical data from the electronic hospitalization information system and the laboratory database. All infants were tested for serum creatinine at least twice within 12 hours of admission and after operation. We determined AKI events according to creatinine criteria for improving global prognosis of renal diseases.The general and clinical data of the infants were collected, and the related risk factors were explored by univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis. Results: 160 patients had congruent lab and echocardiogram data foranalysis. Most of patients are male (56.26%). Original congenital cardiac malformation is similar with our study, the most common is left-to-right shunt CHD(58%), followed by right-to-left shunt CHD(18.75%). All patients showed differences in liver function, renal function, cardiac function and inflammatory indexes within 12 hours of admission and after operation(p<0.05). The AKI group and non-AKI group showed Significant statistical difference in arein age, serum myocardial enzyme , hepatic function, ejection fraction , hemoglobin , platelet count were significantly different meaning (p<0.05). Regression analyses showed that blood oxygen saturation (95%CI 1.003-2.999), CREA(95%CI 1.070-1.253), UREA(95%CI 1.180-3.325), CRP(95%CI 1.006-1.058), BNP(95%CI 0.999-1.000) at 12 hours postoperatively, and in admission to PCT (95%CI 0.461-0.936), Neu(95%CI 0.909-0.995), ALP(95%CI 1.070-1.253) , nadir intraoperative renal regional tissue oximetry to be independent predictors of postoperative kidney damage as measured by blood oxygen saturation, hepatic function, kidney function, cardiac function , Serum myocardial enzyme , inflammatory factor s and blood Routine . Conclusions: Choosing the best age for infants's cardiac surgery, actively preventing preoperative complica- tions, postoperative pneumonia, heart failure and hypoxia play an important role in preventing AKI.

Patients with anomalous aortic origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery (AAOCA) from the right sinus of Valsava, and associated with a trans-septal course, are recommended for surgery only when symptoms of ischemia are present. The transconal unroofing method is straightforward and provides good anatomic result. In absence of significant coronary compression, surgical management of the trans-septal coronary course is proposed if the patient is a candidate to cardiac surgery for another reason, such as congenital heart disease. We describe a transconal approach in a patient with a trans-septal coronary artery and a ventricular septal defect.

Severe coagulation defects often develop in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery, both as a result of the surgical intervention, and as pre-existing defects in the hemostatic mechanisms. The following case report describes a newborn patient with complex congenital heart disease and respiratory failure whose pre-operative coagulopathy was aggressively managed prior to surgical correction. A 5-day-old, 2.5 kg child presented with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. On admission, he was in respiratory arrest suffering from profound acidemia. In addition, the child was hypothermic (30.1°C), septic ( Streptococcus viridans), and coagulopathic (disseminated intravascular coagulation - DIC). The patient was immediately intubated and initial coagulation assessment revealed the following: prothrombin time (PT) 48.9 s (international normalized ratio (INR) 15.7), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) •106 s, platelet count 30 000 mm3, fibrinogen 15 mg dL-1 and antithrombin III (AT-III) 10%. Before cardiac surgery could be performed, the patient’s DIC was corrected with the administration of cryoprecipitate (15 ml), fresh frozen plasma (300 ml), and platelets (195 ml). In spite of the large transfusion of fresh frozen plasma, the AT-III activity, measured as a percentage, remained depressed at 33. Initial thromboelastographic (TEG) determination revealed an index of +2.02, and following 100 IU administration of an AT-III concentrate, declined to -2.32. Sequential TEG profiles were performed over several days, with the results used to guide both transfusion and medical therapy. The congenital heart defect correction was subsequently performed with satisfactory initial results, but the patient developed a fungal infection and expired on the 16th post-operative day. The present case describes techniques of coagulation management for a newborn with both a severe hemostatic defect and congenital heart disease.

Abstract Objective Cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute kidney injury (CPB-AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery in children patients. Intraoperative hybrid cardiac surgery (IPH) is a new technique which needed contrast administration. Contrast was also reported to induce AKI. Therefore, we hypothesized that the IPH would increase the occurrence of CPB-AKI in children Congenital heart disease patients. Methods A total of 1509 consecutive patients (age≤3 year) undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study from November, 2017 to May, 2018. Multivariate logistic regression was performed in this retrospective study. Propensity score matched analysis was applied for confounding factors. Perioperative and interoperative characteristics and outcomes in IHP group with or without AKI are compared. CPB-AKI was determined by serum Creatinine (SCr) increased twice as much as preoperative or need dialysis within 7 days postoperatively. Result IPH was found to be an independent risks factor in the development of CPB-AKI development (OR 2.798, 95% CI 1.823–4.296, p<0.001). Other independent risk factors for CSA-AKI were: CPB time >100 min (OR 2.068, 95% CI 1.521–2.811, P<0.001), weight≤5 kg (OR 3.409, 95% CI 2.192–5.302, P<0.001). Cohort analysis revealed that AKI occurred more frequently in the IPH group before and after matching (30.4% vs. 12.97%, P<0.001; 32.2% vs. 18.3% %, P=0.015, respectively). IPH group also had higher prolonged length of postoperative stay in the hospital (11 vs 7.5, P<0.001; 10.9 vs 7.7, p=0.01), and higher length of mechanical ventilation support (27 vs 10, P<0.001; 26 vs 16, <0.001) before and after matching. Perioperative and interoperative characteristics and outcomes of patients with or without AKI are compared. Only CPB duration was an independent factor for AKI in IPH group.

Introduction: Bloodless cardiac surgery defined as blood transfusion-free open-heart surgery, where cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits primed with crystalloid only and no intraoperative blood transfusion. Limited data have been published in this field. Hypothesis: We asked whether blood conservative surgery is feasible in congenital heart disease. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent bloodless cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease on CPB between January 2016 and December 2018. Our unique CPB system utilizes assisted venous drainage, bioactive coating, and reduced tubing size to decrease priming volume, and complement activation. Results: A total of 164 patients were reviewed (86 male and 78 female) at a median age of 9.6 years (range, 13 months-55 years), weight of 32 kg (IQR, 16-55), preoperative hemoglobin 13.7 g/dl (IQR, 12.6-14.9), and preoperative hematocrit of 40.3% (IQR, 37.2-44.3). Median CPB time was 81.5 minutes (IQR, 58-125), and median hematocrit coming off CPB was 26% (IQR, 23-29.7). Congenital Heart Surgery risk (STAT) category distributed in STAT 1 for 70 (43%), STAT 2 for 80 (49%), STAT 3 for 9 (5%), and STAT 4 for 5 (3%) of the patients. The majority (95%) of patients were extubated in the operating room with low complications rate during the hospital stay (7%). Only 6 (4%) patients needed a blood transfusion in the postoperative period with higher incidence of complications during the hospital course (LR 14.9; p<0.001). The median length of hospital stay was 3.6 days (IQR 2.6-5.6). There was no in-hospital mortality or 30 days mortality after surgery. Conclusions: Bloodless congenital cardiac surgery has a high success rate in selected low to medium surgical risk and even higher risk patients (STAT 3 and 4). Our patients had a low rate of complications and short hospital course. The blood product transfusion correlated significantly with a higher rate of complications during the postoperative course.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and effect of minimal media lower hemisternotomy for cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infant congenital heart disease. Methods: In our hospital from May 2019 to October 2019, 170 infants with congenital heart disease underwent surgical treatment (median age 6.6 months; weight 6.0 kg). They were divided into 2 groups: those with conventional chest median incision and those with minimal sternotomy. Minimal lower hemisternotomy began from the third intercostal level and ended 0.5 cm above the xiphoid, just enough to insert a small sternal distractor. Results: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in CPB time. The operation time of small incision group was slightly longer (P < .05). There was no difference in prognosis between the 2 groups, but the wound length of the small incision group was significantly reduced (4.0 ± 0.5 versus 7.8 ± 0.8 cm, P < .05). Time of intensive care unit and hospital stay was shorter among hemisternotomy patients at a statistically significant level (P < .05). Conclusion: Minimal media lower hemisternotomy with the basic advantages of the sternal incision can expose the various parts of the heart, which meets most cardiac exploration and surgical operation needs, and the incision may still be extended if necessary. Lower hemisternotomy appears to be a safe, effective, and versatile alternative for many surgical interventions in infants with congenital heart disease.
