Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of bidirectional Glenn shunt with noncardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for treating congenital heart disease.Methods The clinical data of forty-four patients receiving bidirectional Glenn shunt from August 2005 to August 2011 were analyzed retrospectively,twenty-three cases of which were treated by bidirectional Glenn shunt with non-CPB (non-CPB group) and twenty-one with CPB (CPB group).The duration of ventilator-assisted breathing,chest drainage volume,amount of blood product usage,postoperative hospital stay and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) before leaving the hospital were compared and analyzed between two groups.Results Forty-four patients were all cured.The duration of ventilator-assisted breathing,chest drainage volume and the amount of blood product usage of non-CPB group were less than those of CPB group [ (4.5 ± 1.3 ) h vs.(6.7 ± 1.5 ) h,(4.6 ± 1.4 ) ml/kg vs.(7.7 ± 3.1 ) ml/kg,( 221.8 ± 97.6 ) ml vs.( 423.4 ± 149.7 ) ml,P ＜ 0.05 ].There was no significant difference of the postoperative hospital stay and SpO2 before leaving the hospital between non-CPB group and CPB group[ (7.4 ± 2.3 ) d vs.(7.8 ± 1.9) d,0.91 ± 0.05 vs.0.88 ± 0.39,P ＞ 0.05 ].Conclusion Bidirectional Glenn shunt with non-CPB is a safe and feasible surgical approach,which is worthy of promotion. Key words: Cardiopulmonary bypass; Bidirectional Glenn shunt
