Pulmonary valve IE was confirmed at surgery by evaluation of pathologic samples in 20 cases. CONCLUSIONS Multimodal imaging improves the ability to preoperatively identify endocardial involvement in PV IE in cases where echo is negative. Consideration should be given to revise Duke criteria to include new obstruction and endocardial involvement by multimodal imaging for PV IE.INTRODUCTION Heterotaxy syndrome presents a unique challenge in surgical management, even in the current era. We hypothesized that certain anatomic subsets merit novel strategies. METHODS We analyzed morphologic details, surgeries, comorbidities, subsequent admissions, and survival using Kaplan-Meier methods and multivariable risk models from a single-institution experience of 103 consecutive patients with heterotaxy who underwent cardiac surgery between January 1, 1990, and May 31, 2016. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ve-822.html RESULTS Of the 103 patients (50 males and 53 females), 31 had left atrial isomerism, 64 had right atrial isomerism (RAI), and 8 patients' isomerism was indeterminate (IND), with first cardiac operation at a mean 1.0 year (standard deviation ±3.0 years) of age. Kaplan-Meier overall survival estimate was 83.1% at six months, 77.8% at one year, 65.9% at five years, and 52.1% at ten years. Survival was particularly low among RAI following repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) at first operation, with one-early repair of TAPVC remains challenging. For this high-risk subset, alternative strategies such as early referral for cardiac transplantation evaluation warrant consideration.OBJECTIVE We investigated the incidence and etiologies for unplanned hospital readmissions during the first year following congenital heart surgery (CHS) at our institution and the potential association of readmissions with longer term survival. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 263 patients undergoing CHS at our institution from August 2011 to June 2015. Scheduled readmissions were excluded. RESULTS Seventy patients accrued a total of 120 readmissions (1.7 readmission/patient) within one year after surgery. The first readmission for 57% of the patients was within 30 days postdischarge. Twenty-two patients were first readmitted between 31 and 90 days postdischarge. Eight patients were first readmitted between 90 days and 1 year postdischarge. Median time-to-first readmission was 21 days. Median hospital length of stay at readmission was two days. Causes of 30-day readmissions included viral illness (25%), wound infections (15%), and cardiac causes (15%). Readmissions between 30 and 90 days included viral illness (27%), gastrointestinal (27%), and cardiac causes (9%). Age, STAT category, length of surgery, intubation, intensive care unit, and hospital stay were risk factors associated with readmissions based on logistic regression. Distance to hospital had a significant effect on readmissions (P less then .001). Patients with higher family income were less likely to be readmitted (P less then .001). There was no difference in survival between readmitted and non-readmitted patients (P = .68). CONCLUSIONS The first 90 days is a high-risk period for unplanned hospital readmissions after CHS. Complicated postoperative course, higher surgical complexity, and lower socioeconomic status are risk factors for unplanned readmissions the first 90 days after surgery. Efforts to improve the incidence or readmission after CHS should extend to the first 3 months after surgery and target these high-risk patient populations.BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide crucial support for single ventricle (SV) patients at various stages of palliation. However, characterization of the utilization and outcomes of ECMO in these unique patients remains incompletely studied. METHODS We performed a single-center retrospective review of SV patients between 2010 and 2017 who underwent ECMO cannulation with primary end point of survival to discharge and secondary end point of survival to decannulation or orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). Multivariate analysis was performed for factors predictive of survival to discharge and survival to decannulation. RESULTS Forty SV patients with a median age of one month (range 3 days to 15 years) received ECMO support. The incidence of ECMO was 14% for stage I, 3% for stage II, and 4% for stage III. Twenty-seven (68%) patients survived to decannulation, and 21 (53%) patients survived to discharge, with seven survivors to discharge undergoing OHT. Complications included infection (40%), bleeding (40%), thrombosis (33%), and radiographic stroke (45%). Factors associated with survival to decannulation included pre-ECMO lactate (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.90, P = .013) and post-ECMO bicarbonate (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.0-1.5, P = .018). Factors associated with survival to discharge included central cannulation (HR 40.0, 95% CI 3.1-500.0, P = .005) and lack of thrombotic complications (HR 28.7, 95% CI 2.1-382.9, P = .011). CONCLUSIONS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be useful to rescue SV patients with approximately half surviving to discharge, although complications are frequent. Early recognition of the role of heart transplant is imperative. Further study is required to identify areas for improvement in this population.BACKGROUND Surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot and major aortopulmonary collaterals (TOF/MAPCAs) involves unifocalization of MAPCAs and reconstruction of the pulmonary arterial circulation. Surgical and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times are long and suture lines are extensive. Maintaining patency of the newly anastomosed vessels while achieving hemostasis is important, and assessment of transfusion practices is critical to successful outcomes. METHODS Clinical, surgical, and transfusion data in patients with TOF/MAPCAs repaired at our institution (2013-2018) were reviewed. Types and volumes of blood products used in the perioperative period, in addition to the use of antifibrinolytics and/or procoagulants (factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity [FEIBA]; anti-inhibitor coagulant complex), were assessed. Outcome measures included days on mechanical ventilation (DOMV), postoperative intensive care unit and hospital length of stay (LoS), and incidence of thrombosis. RESULTS Perioperative transfusion data from 279 patients were analyzed.
