Aim. To analyze results of hemodynamic correction in surgical treatment of double outlet right ventricle (DORV). Маterials and methods. For the period from January 1996 to September 2017, 31 (6.03 % of total number of patients with DORV) patients underwent hemodynamic correction of DORV. The age of the patients ranged from 1 to 19 years (71.2 ± 50.5 months on the average). The weight of the patients ranged from 9 to 41 kg (19.6 ± 11.3 kg on the average). Of these, 19 (61.3 %) were male patients and 12 (38.7 %) were female patients. The overwhelming majority (25 (80.6 %)) of the patients were diagnosed with transposition-type DORV. The anatomy of DORV with non-committed ventricular septal defect was observed in 5 (16.1 %) patients. In one patient (3.1 %), the anatomy of DORV (in the form of tetralogy of Fallot) was combined with tricuspid valve atresia. Results. The main reasons of hemodynamic correction in 16 (51.6 %) cases was LV hypoplasia. In 2 cases it was combined with tricuspid valve (TV) straddling, and in 2 cases it was an integral part of the unbalanced form of complete atrio-ventricular communication (AVC). In one case (3.1 %), the unbalanced form of complete AVC was combined with a mixed form of the common ventricle. The mixed form of the common ventricle was the reason of hemodynamic correction in 9 (29 %) patients. In 2 (6.2 %) cases, hemodynamic correction was performed due to the anatomy of the RV hypoplasia. In the remaining 2 patients, anatomy of the common ventricle was not diagnosed, but a combination of other concomitant defects was a contraindication to biventricular correction. Palliative operations (Blalock-Taussig shunt, BTS) as the first stage of correction were performed in 16 (51.6 %) patients. In 2 patients with LV outflow tract obstruction, systemic-pulmonary anastomosis was applied in combination with plastic repair of the great vessel roots using the proprietary technique for elimination of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) stenosis. Bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis (BCPA) was applied in 29 (93.5 %) cases. Of these, 4 (13.8 %) patients subsequently underwent total cavopulmonary anastomosis (TCPA) procedure. Two patients with good hemodynamic parameters underwent TCPA without prior palliative procedures. Conclusion. Palliative surgery as the first stage to hemodynamic correction is accompanied by significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters of patients. Application of BCPA as the second stage of hemodynamic correction provides good results and is required to prepare the patient for TCPA. The long-term period is characterized by improvement in the quality of life in patients with complex DORV. In the long-term period, 85.2 % of patients are classified as NYHA FC I.

AbstractBackground:In patients with tetralogy of Fallot with the diminutive pulmonary arteries, we sometimes have to give up the complete intra-cardiac repair due to insufficient growth of the pulmonary arteries. We have carried out palliative intra-cardiac repair using a fenestrated patch.Methods:Of all 202 patients with tetralogy of Fallot in our centre since 1996, five patients (2.5%) with the diminutive pulmonary arteries underwent palliative intra-cardiac repair using a fenestrated patch. Mean operative age was 1.8 years. Previous operation was Blalock–Taussig shunt in 4. At operation, the ventricular septal defect was closed using a fenestrated patch and the right ventricular outflow tract was enlarged. Follow-up period was 9.8 ± 2.6 years.Results:There were no operative and late deaths. Fenestration closed spontaneously on its own in four patients 2.7 ± 2.1 years after the intra-cardiac repair with a stable haemodynamics; however, the last patient with the smallest pulmonary artery index had supra-systemic pressure of the right ventricle post-operatively. The fenestration was emergently enlarged. Systemic arterial oxygen saturation was significantly and dramatically increased from 83.5 to 94% after the palliative intra-cardiac repair, and to 98% at the long term. A ratio of systolic pressure of the right ventricle to the left was significantly decreased to 0.76 ± 0.12 at the long term. Now all five patients were Ross classification class I.Conclusion:Although frequent catheter and surgical interventions were needed after the palliative intra-cardiac repair, this repair might be a choice improving quality of life with good results in patients with tetralogy of Fallot associated with the diminutive pulmonary arteries.

Objectives: In this study we observed that the effect of post-Norwood 3.5 mm modified BTS(mBTS and 5 mm right ventricle to pulmonary (Sano modification) shunt models on clinical outcomes. Patients and Methods: 54 patients who were operated in our hospital between 2011and 2020 years, were included in our study and this is a retrospective, observational, single-center case series study. Results: The effect of shunt type on mortality was statistically significant, and the rate of death was lower in patients who used SANO type shunts. (p <0.05) The effect of VISC score on early mortality was significant, and VISC score was higher in the group with exitus. (p <0.05). Conclusion: Although Sano shunt seems more preferred in Norwood, the experience of the surgeon and the center's experience may have led to variation in results at HLHS. Nevertheless, it will be clinically important for studies to evaluate the long-term results between the two shunt types.
