Rare Site

Ventricular septal defects are increasingly being closed by transcatheter technique, with lesser morbidity and shorter hospital stay compared to open heart surgery. We report a case of embolization of a duct occluder deployed in a posterior muscular septal defect. The rare site of embolization necessitated an unusual approach for retrieval prior to subsequent closure using a double-disc device.

Abstract Background: Transthoracic device closure (TTDC), also known as a Hybrid procedure, has been proposed as an alternative, less invasive approach compared to open-heart surgery for the treatment of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Case Presentation: We present our first national case of TTDC in a 6-month-old female baby with a muscular 8mm ventricular septal defect, 3 mm atrial defect, enlarged right and left ventricle and a dilated pulmonary artery complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension.Treatment consisted of two pulmonary artery banding attempts at the age of 2 months to control pulmonary hypertension – the interventions were combined with diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzymes inhibitors. Yet, the initial approach was suboptimal as we noticed a failure to thrive continuous sweating and tachypnea. Because of the worsening condition at the age of 6 months, and a weight of 6.6 kg, we performed TTDC. After median sternotomy, a 10mm muscular VSD occluder was implanted under trans-oesophagal echocardiography guidance on the beating heart. The procedure lasted 90 min and was performed without incident; the hemodynamics were stable with only a minor residual VSD. The child was extubated after 2 hours and discharged after five days from the hospital.Conclusions: Transthoracic device closure (TTDC) is a promising treatment modality for large muscular VSD in small infants with low weight. TTDC is feasible in cases with heavy myocardial right ventricle trabeculae and who previously underwent open-heart surgery.

Over Time

Although a few closed heart operations were performed in the late 1960s, well organized approach to open heart surgery began in Bangladesh only after establishment of Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (ICVD) in 1978. A Japanese team of surgeons, anesthetists, nurses and technicians provided extensive support in capacity building of the local human resources. Ultimately the first open heart surgery of Bangladesh, the direct closure of Atrial Septal Defect of an 18 year old college student, was performed on 18th September 1981. It was great news of that time. People came to know about the success story of the ICVD director then Colonel M Abdul Malik, a renowned cardiologist cum team leader and the Bangladeshi surgeon duo Dr M Nabi Alam Khan and Dr S R Khan. But somehow the anesthetists, an important part of the team were out of focus and have been forgotten over time. Led by Prof Khalilur Rahman, the anesthetist team of the day included Dr Nurul Islam, Dr Abdul Hadi, Dr Delowar Hossain, Dr A Y F Ellahi Chowdhury and Dr Monir Hossain. This article is an attempt to remind their contribution and expressing respect and gratitude to the anesthetists of that pioneering team. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2021; 36(1) : 55-60

Open Operation

The technique of deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest has been important in the history of the evolution of cardiac surgery. Wilfred G. Bigelow, working in Toronto in the late 1940s, performed pioneering research on hypothermia, and developed a workable technique of hypothermia in human cardiac surgery.1Based upon Bigelow's experimental premises, F. John Lewis, at the University of Minnesota, also conducted a number of experiments utilizing hypothermia. On September 2, 1942, Lewis operated on a 5-year-old girl with an atrial septal defect under general hypothermia with inflow occlusion. He was assisted by Richard Varco, Mansur Taufic, and C. Walton Lillehei. Rubberized refrigerated blankets were used to cool the patient to 28°C. The septal defect was closed during five and a half minutes of inflow occlusion. This was the world's first successful open operation on the human heart performed under direct vision, and marked the beginning of the era of open heart surgery. Now, as amazing and as primitive as that methodology may seem, those of you who read Life magazine, or watch the Discovery Channel on television, are aware that, in parts of the Soviet Union, a large fraction of today's open heart surgery is performed not using the technique of cardiopulmonary bypass, but rather using the methodology of immersion hypothermia from the 1950s, with surprisingly good results.

We elucidated the protective effect of a leucocyte removal filter on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced lung dysfunction during open-heart surgery for ventricular septal defect (VSD). Forty-six VSD patients were divided into two groups: (a) a control group of 22 patients in whom the banked blood was used to prime the CPB circuit, and (b) a leucocyte removal group of 24 patients in whom a leucocyte removal filter was used for priming and every supplement of banked blood during and after the operation. The respiratory index immediately after the CPB was significantly lower in the leucocyte removal group than in the control group (2.23 ± 0.22 vs 3.90 ± 0.68; p < 0.05). The duration of stay in the intensive care unit was significantly shorter in the leucocyte removal group (3.0 ± 0.4 vs 4.1 ± 0.4 days; p < 0.05). These data suggest that the use of a leucocyte removal filter for blood added to the CPB prime or administered after CPB may have protective effects on lung function after open heart surgery for VSD patients.
