Abstract 4138253: Reintervention Burden of Single and Biventricular Palliation of Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum

Introduction: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) patients may proceed down a single (SV) or biventricular (BV) pathway. We evaluated the total interventional burden of both pathways including after either end-state was reached. Hypothesis: SV patients will have more interventions in comparison to BV patients. Goals: Assess the nature of interventions in PAIVS. Methods: Retrospective review of PAIVS patients from 1995-2020 who achieved SV (Fontan completion) or BV (normal saturations with no significant shunts) end-state. Demographic, procedural, and follow-up details were collected. Descriptive statistics were used and Kaplan-Meier analysis of freedom from reintervention was performed. Results: Of 79 patients who reached end-state, 40 (51%) were SV and 39 (49%) were BV. Total median in-hospital time was 48 [31-78] days and 18 [12-35] days for SV and BV (p<0.01). The ratio of in-hospital days to total follow-up was a median of 1.7% [0.9-2.7] for SV and 0.4% [0.3-0.8] for BV (p<0.01). SV and BV cohorts had an overall median of 4 [3-5] and 3 [2-4] interventions, respectively (p<0.01). Interventions and their relationship to end-state are shown in Table 1 . The SV and BV groups achieved end-state at a median of 2.9 [2.3-3.6] and 2.1 [0.2-8.8] years (p=0.01) ( Figure 1A ). Median follow up in years after achieving end-state was similar between groups {7 [2.7-15.8] in SV and 7.4 [4.2-13.4] for BV (p=0.11)}. After end-state, there was no difference in the proportion of patients requiring reinterventions (17 (43%) SV and 12 (31%) BV, p>0.05). Freedom from reintervention at 15-years was 44.1% in the SV group and 64.3% in the BV group (p=0.11) ( Figure 1B) with one late SV death. Conclusions: PAIVS therapy requires multiple interventions to achieve both SV and BV repair. While SV patients undergo more interventions and spend more days in the hospital, reinterventions and 15-year freedom from reintervention were comparable between groups with equivalent follow up.

Abstract 4121793: A Pressure-Volume Loops Approach Predicts Outcomes After Double Switch Operation For Congenitally Corrected Transposition Of The Great Arteries with Intact Ventricular Septum

Background: Double switch operation (DSO) for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (ccTGA) has a high rate of post-DSO LV dysfunction. Hypothesis: LV pressure-volume area (PVA), a surrogate of myocardial O 2 consumption, is a superior marker of LV preparedness and is associated with adverse outcomes after DSO. Aims: 1. Derive a mathematical relationship to estimate LV PVA (ePVA) from catheterization (pressure) and imaging (volumetric) data, using directly measured PVA (mPVA) as reference 2. Assess if lower ratio of LV ePVA to RV ePVA (as an internal control) is associated with adverse outcome after DSO. Methods: Aim 1: Using conductance catheter derived invasive subpulmonary LV PV loops, mPVA was recorded as the sum of stroke work (SW) and potential energy (PE). A mathematical relationship was established with standard catheterization/imaging data to estimate ePVA. Aim 2: In a retrospective cohort, LV:RV ePVA ratio was calculated as above, and along with standard clinical metrics, assessed for relationship with a composite outcome of ≥ moderate LV dysfunction, transplant, or death post-DSO. Results: Aim 1: In 20 PV loop studies in 18 pre-DSO patients, there was a strong linear correlation between measured and estimated SW and PE (R 2 > 0.9 and p<0.0001 for both). ePVA yielded high agreement and low bias compared to mPVA (mean bias 0.5±11%). Aim 2: Composite outcome occurred in 6/42 DSO patients (14%). LV:RV ePVA ratio (0.57 [0.49, 0.61] vs 0.90 [0.73, 1.1], p<0.001) and LV:RV pressure ratio (0.80 [0.77, 0.87] vs 1.13 [1.01, 1.23], p<0.001) were lower in those with adverse outcome. There were no differences in other pre-operative parameters. On time to event analysis, lower LV:RV ePVA ratio was the strongest determinant (HR 39, 95% CI 15-100; C Index 0.94), while lower LV:RV pressure ratio was the only other predictor (HR 24, 95% CI 13-42; C Index 0.88). In 8 patients with borderline pressure ratios of 0.77-0.88, ePVA ratio was an excellent discriminator - 3 patients with ePVA ratio of ≥0.67 had good outcomes, whereas 5 patients with ePVA ratio <0.67 had adverse outcomes. Conclusion: LV:RV ePVA ratio >0.67 is a strong and novel predictor of LV preparedness for DSO in patients with ccTGA.

Patent ductus arteriosus stenting via femoral approach with wire twist technique: a case report

IntroductionPatent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting has emerged as a viable alternative to surgical interventions for ductus arteriosus-dependent pulmonary circulation. Several approaches and techniques have been reported but have had limited success.We present three cases of PDA stenting involving several types of PDA morphologies using the femoral vessel approach and introduce a highly successful technique.Case presentationCase 1: A 3-day-old female with pulmonary atresia and an intact ventricular septum had two stents implanted via the femoral artery (FA) in a PDA originating from the descending aorta. A 0.014-inch coronary guidewire was secured in the peripheral pulmonary artery (PA) to aid stent tracking, achieving postoperative oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 88%.Case 2: An 11-day-old male with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) had a stent implanted in a PDA arising from the inferior aspect of the aortic arch via the femoral vein (FV). Postoperative SpO2 reached 92%.Case 3: A 2-month-old female with PA/VSD received two stents via the FA in a PDA originating from the innominate artery, achieving a postoperative SpO2 of 88%.ConclusionsThe wire twist technique is useful for implanting PDA stents through the transfemoral approach.

A cohort study examining predictors of stroke and bleeding among people with congenital heart disease and atrial fibrillation

Abstract Background Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is associated with development of atrial fibrillation (AF) at an early age. With increased survival of this cohort into adulthood, the prevalence of concurrent CHD and AF is expected to increase over the next several decades. Little is known about the utility of clinical risk factors or prediction models in determining bleeding or stroke rates in adults with CHD and AF. Purpose This study aims to measure the performance of the CHADSVASC and HASBLED scores in a cohort of people with CHD. The association between traditional stroke and bleeding risk factors, as well as CHD-specific factors, will be quantified. Methods Patients age 18 or older attending one of three centers in the USA were included in this study if they had a history of AF on ECG, holter monitor or device interrogation, in addition to a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), or Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum (PA-IVS). Outcomes were major bleeding event, and stroke rate. Analysis was conducted using cox univariable regression controlling for current age. Receiver operator curve and c-statistics were produced for the CHADSVASC and HASBLED scores respectively. Results 326 people were included in this study, of whom 161 (49.5%) had TOF secondary to Pulmonic Stenosis, 126 (38.8%) had TOF secondary to Pulmonary Atresia, 25 (7.7%) had DORV, and 155 (47.7%) had PA-IVS. 227 people used warfarin (79.4%), 28 (9.8%) used apixaban, 9 (3.1%) used Rivaroxaban, 3 (1%) used Edoxaban, and 5 (1.7%) used Enoxaparin for a period of at least 30 days during the study. 13 (4.5%) people didn’t receive anticoagulation during the study. 26 people had a stroke (8.8%) while 85 people (28.6%) had a major bleeding event. Only the CHADSVASC score was significantly associated with stroke rates (HR 2.103, 95% CI 1.555 to 2.844, p<0.001). Clinical variables, such as subtype of CHD, prior conduit placement or unifocalization were not associated with stroke or major bleeding events. C-statistic for the CHADSVASC score in predicting stroke events was 0.755 (Figure 1). C-statistic for the HASBLED score in predicting major bleeding was 0.442 (Figure 2). Conclusions Among people with CHD and AF, the CHADSVASC score can robustly predict stroke events. Other clinical variables are less valuable in predicting either bleeding or strokes. The HASBLED score likely doesn’t have a role in predicting major bleeding episodes in this cohort.

Late outcomes of Fontan operation from the EUROFONTAN experience

Abstract Background Fifty years after the first Fontan operation, the persisting challenges and evolving landscape of post-Fontan complications are explored in the EUROFONTAN experience. Aim of the study is the evaluation of long term outcomes of a large cohort of Fontan patients, focusing on age at Fontan and onset of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD). Methods A retrospective clinical study across 21 european congenital cardiac centers across Europe. Clinical and operative data of patients who underwent Fontan operation between January 1990 and December 2022 were gathered through a RedCap online database. Results 2606 patients were included in this analysis (M/F: 59%/41%, median age and median weight at Fontan of 4.3 y.o (IQR 3.3-6.4), and 16kg (IQR 14-20), respectively. Most frequent cardiac anomaly were tricuspid atresia and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (781, 30%). Ventricular morphology was left in 1379 patients (53%), and right in 1029 patients (40%). Extra cardiac conduit (ECC) was performed in the majority of patients (2335, 90%), with a median conduit size of 20mm (IQR 18-20). Early post-operative complications were present in 52% (1340), with an early reintervention in 349 patients (249 surgical , 99 catheter driven) At a median follow-up median of 10 years (IQR 4-15), there were 79 late deaths (3%). Adverse events occurred in 49% (1288 , non-surgical in 962 , surgical in 249). The clinical status was stage A in 60% (1288 patients), while only a minority (1.3%) was in status D. Systemic Ventricular function was normal in 1898 patients (73%), while absent or mild Atrioventricular Valve regurgitation was presnet in 86% (1816). Of note, FALD was detected in 388 (15 %) , and sinus rhythm was present in 99%. Statistical analysis shows that late death and adverse events are significantly associated right ventricular morphology of the systemic ventricle (p-value 0.019). Of note, when compared to lateral tunnel, TCPC extracardiac conduit demonstrated lower late mortality (2.3% vs 8.2%, p-value <0.001) and complication rates (60% vs 48%, p-value 0.001). Analyzing age at Fontan, a linear relationship exists between age and late mortality, whereby mortality increases with advancing age (graph 1). However, concerning the development of late adverse events, the risk decreases with age at Fontan up to 7 years; beyond 7 years, the risk increases with advancing age (graph 2). The analysis demonstrated growing FALD-prevalence with increasing time from Fontan completion (significant especially after 10 years). Conclusion current long term outcomes of Fontan operation are highly satisfactory. However, the longer survival is associated to an increasing incidence of late term extracardiac complications (namely FALD) which are more evident if Fontan is performed at older age.Data of Fontan PatientsCorrelation between age at Fontan and AE

Ductal stenting for retraining the left ventricle in patients with transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum: a single-centre experience.

Ductal stenting in late presenters with transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum retrains the left ventricle before arterial switch operation. However, the experience is limited for its efficacy and safety. This study aims to highlight the efficacy and safety of ductal stenting for retraining the left ventricle. Eight children with transposition of great arteries-intact ventricular septum and regressed left ventricle underwent ductal stenting. Serial echocardiographic measurements of left ventricle shape, mass, volume, free wall thickness, and function were done, and arterial switch operation was performed once the left ventricle was adequately prepared. Post-operative outcome in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and improvement in left ventricle function were monitored. The procedure was successful in all patients. Babies were divided into two groups on basis of age at ductal stenting (group 1 age less than 90 days and group 2 age more than 90 days) and were evaluated for the degree of left ventricle retraining as evidenced by echocardiographic parameters and post-operative variables. The left ventricle posterior wall thickness and mass index after ductal stenting increased significantly in both the groups. Postoperatively, one baby of group two expired after seven days due to severe left ventricle dysfunction. Rest babies had an uneventful post-operative ICU stay with no statistical difference in the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation or ICU stay. On six-month follow-up, all surviving babies were doing well with normal left ventricle function. Ductal stenting is a good alternative measure as compared to surgical procedures for left ventricle retraining in transposition of great arteries with regressed left ventricle.

Unexpected and atypical clinical presentation of myocardial infarction in infants and children: complex pathogenesis of progressive and lethal disease.

Myocardial infarction is rare in children but frequently occurs unexpectedly with atypical presentation. It can cause a progressive lethal course unless prompt treatment is initiated. Paediatric cases of myocardial infarction diagnosed by the presence of ischaemic myocardial insults and symptomatic ventricular dysfunction were reviewed retrospectively. Eighteen patients (5 days to 14 years of age; median 3 months) with myocardial infarction were studied. The aetiology was variable, including congenital coronary anomalies: anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (five patients), pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum with right ventricle-dependent coronary circulation (four), anomalous aortic origin of left coronary artery (three), and Williams syndrome with supravalvar aortic stenosis (one). Two acquired coronary anomalies occurred in one patient with undiagnosed Kawasaki disease with complete thrombotic obstruction of the left coronary artery and another with post-transplant cardiac allograft microangiopathy. Three patients developed thromboembolic coronary artery incidents in normal coronary anatomy. Fourteen patients were less than 1 year of age (78%). Electrocardiographic abnormalities were noted in all patients. Four patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for severe ventricular dysfunction, none of whom survived. Five patients underwent heart transplant. Five patients died during the same hospitalisation, and one patient died after discharge (overall mortality 33%). Transplant-free survival was 39%. Most myocardial infarction occurred in infants who presented with abrupt onset of non-specific clinical manifestations with progressively deteriorating haemodynamic status resulting in poor transplant-free survival rate. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent catastrophic outcomes.

Comparison of pulmonary artery growth between ductus stent and systemic-to-pulmonary shunt as single-ventricle palliation

ObjectiveWe aimed to compare the pulmonary artery (PA) growth between infants with univentricular hearts who underwent a ductus stenting (DS) and those who received a systemic to pulmonary shunt (SPS) as an initial palliation. MethodsAll infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow who underwent initial palliation with either a DS or SPS between 2009 and 2022 in our institution were reviewed. PA development was compared between the groups using the PA index and the symmetry index. ResultsA total of 130 patients were evaluated including 49 patients after DS and 81 after SPS. The most frequent primary diagnosis was tricuspid atresia in 27, followed by pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in 19. At stage II palliation, PA index (p=0.926), right PA index (p=0.692), left PA index (p=0.297) and the symmetry index (p=0.650) were similar between the groups. At stage III Fontan completion, PA index (p=0.115), right PA index (p=0.868), and the symmetry index (p=0.144) were similar between the groups. However, left PA index (60 vs. 74mm2/m2, p=0.015) was lower, and the incidence of veno-venous collaterals (24.2 vs. 7.8%, p=0.036) was higher in DS group compared to SPS group. Freedom from PA interventions between stage II and III palliation was lower in DS group compared to SPS group (p=0.009). ConclusionsIn patients after DS in infants with univentricular heart, freedom from PA interventions after stage II was lower and the left PA index was smaller, compared to those after SPS. Long-term outcomes after the Fontan procedure should be addressed in patients after DS.

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (NCHi016-A) from a 5-year-old female with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and one-and-half ventricle palliation

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by underdeveloped pulmonary valve and right ventricular hypoplasia. Neonates undergoing surgery to open pulmonary valve have a range of post-surgical ventricular recovery: single-ventricle (1v) palliation, one-and-half ventricle (1.5v) palliation, and bi-ventricular (2v) repair. PA-IVS-1.5v typically requires surgical intervention to install cavopulmonary shunt and entails partial right ventricle recovery. NCHi016-A is an iPSC line derived from a 5-year-old female with PA-IVS-1.5v using Sendai Virus reprogramming. This iPSC line shows typical iPSC morphology, has normal karyotype, expresses pluripotency markers, and has potential to differentiate into three germ layers.

Increased Diastolic Energy Loss Associated with Cardiac Events in Adults with Pulmonary Atresia Suffering from Intact Ventricular Septum.

To assess right heart diastolic energy loss (EL) as a cardiac workload and evaluate its association with major cardiac events (MACE) in adult patients with pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PAIVS). We retrospectively enrolled and compared 30 consecutive adult patients (18 with PAIVS and 12 with pulmonary stenosis [PS] as controls) who underwent right ventricular (RV) outflow tract reconstruction and 4D flow MRI. EL, conventional parameters on MRI, and the severity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on echocardiography were assessed. We also evaluated the association between MACE including arrhythmias, heart failure, surgical intervention, and imaging parameters in adults with PAIVS. Patients with PAIVS were younger, had a higher diastolic EL/cardiac output (CO) ratio, and had a more significant TR than those with PS (controls). However, RV volume, ejection fraction (EF), and pulmonary regurgitation (PR) severity did not differ between the two groups. Higher RV end-diastolic pressure (EDP) and lower cardiac index (CI) correlated with the diastolic EL/CO in patients with PAIVS. Univariate logistic analysis demonstrated that older age and a higher diastolic EL/CO ratio were important factors for MACE in adults with PAIVS (P = 0.048, 0.049). A higher diastolic EL/CO ratio was associated with a higher RV EDP and lower CI. A high diastolic EL/CO ratio is also associated with MACE in adults with PAIVS. Even in adults with normal RV volume and EF, the right heart EL was elevated, suggesting an excessive right-sided cardiac workload that integrated both afterload and preload beyond the RV size in adult patients with PAIVS.

Cyanotic heart disease due to a hypoplastic right ventricle with pulmonary valve atresia, an intact ventricular septum, with atrial level shunting in a day‐old Arabian foal

AbstractAn 8‐h‐old Arabian foal was presented for evaluation of progressive weakness since birth. The foal presented laterally recumbent with pale and muddy mucous membranes, a grade III/VI left basilar murmur, and an irregularly, irregular rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiogram along with an electrocardiogram (EKG) was performed. Atrial fibrillation was recorded throughout the examination. The left and right atria were both significantly enlarged. A right to left shunt across the atrial septum was confirmed via an intravenous injection of agitated saline. The tricuspid valve was rudimentary without apparent atrioventricular flow and no ventricular septal defect was appreciated. The animal was euthanased, and necropsy found dysplasia of the tricuspid valve, a hypoplastic right ventricle with pulmonary valve atresia, and an intact ventricular septum. This condition is similar, both haemodynamically and in terms of prognosis, to tricuspid atresia, which has been described previously in Arabian foals, with the exception that there is the complete absence of connection between the atrium and ventricle in the case of tricuspid atresia. Of 14 previously reported cases of tricuspid atresia in neonatal foals, nine were Arabian foals. Further investigation into the possibility of hypoplastic right ventricle as a familial condition in the Arabian breed should be considered.

Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum, a National Comparison Between Interventional and Surgical Approach, in Combination with a Systemic Literature Review.

This study aimed to compare long-term morbidity in patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) treated with catheter-based intervention (group A) versus those undergoing heart surgery (group B) as initial intervention. Additionally, we conducted a systematic literature review on PA-IVS treatment. All neonates born in Sweden with PA-IVS between 2007 and 2019 were screened for inclusion. The inclusion criterion was decompression of the right ventricle for initial intervention. Medical records were reviewed, as well as the initial preoperative angiogram, and the diagnostic echocardiogram. Comparisons between groups were performed with Mann-Whitney U-test and Fisher´s exact test. A systematic literature review of original studies regarding treatment of PA-IVS (2002 and onward) was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, to assess the outcomes of patients with PA-IVS. 34 (11 females) patients were included, 18 in group A and 16 in group B. There was no mortality in either group. Follow-up time ranged from 2 to 15years (median 9). All attempted perforations in group A were successful, and 16 out of 18 patients reached biventricular circulation. In the surgical group 15 out of 16 patients reached biventricular circulation. The literature review presented heterogeneity in standards for treatment. This retrospective population-based multicenter study demonstrates that both catheter-based intervention and heart surgery are safe procedures. Our results are comparable to, or exceed, those in the systematic literature review. The systematic literature review displays a great heterogeneity in study design, with no definitive golden standard treatment.

Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum: Correlation of Preoperative Computed Tomography-Derived Parameters with Echocardiographic Tricuspid Valve Z-Score and Surgical Outcomes.

The role of preoperative cardiac computed tomography (CT) in neonates with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) remains unclear. This study was aimed to elaborate the role of preoperative CT-derived anatomical and functional findings in planning treatment strategies in neonates with PA-IVS. The presence of ventriculocoronary arterial connections was evaluated by CT. CT-derived ventricular volumetric parameters were compared and correlated with echocardiographic tricuspid valve (TV) z-score in 12 neonates with PA-IVS. Cardiac CT and echocardiographic findings were compared between definite surgical types (median follow-up, 4years). Ventriculocoronary arterial connections were identified with CT in 58.3% of cases (7/12) and associated with higher incidence of Fontan procedure (42.9%, 3/7) and high mortality (28.6%, 2/7). The CT-derived and echocardiographic TV z-scores exhibited a high correlation (R = 0.924, p < 0.001). The CT-derived right ventricle (RV) volume and RV-left ventricle volume ratio also displayed high correlations (R = 0.875 and 0.867, respectively; p < 0.001) with echocardiographic TV z-score. More positive echocardiographic TV z-score, high CT-derived RV end-diastolic volume and RV-left ventricle volume ratio, and low CT-derived left ventricular end-diastolic volume were observed in biventricular surgery group (N = 2), compared to Fontan operation (N = 3) and 1.5 ventricular surgery (N = 3) groups, and mortality cases (N = 3). Preoperative CT-derived coronary artery anatomy and ventricular volumetric parameters may supplement treatment planning in neonates with PA-IVS especially when multifactorial decision including echocardiographic TV z-score is in a gray zone.W.

Prenatally diagnosed pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, affecting 1%–1.2% of live born infants. Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) accounts for &lt;1% of all total heart defects. The cause of PA-IVS has been unclear. Thus, experience for prenatal diagnosis of PA-IVS is limited in any single institution. This is the case of a 28-year-old gravida 1 para 0 who came in at 34 + 5 weeks of gestational age. Fetal two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography revealed Type II PA-IVS, higher risk for univentricular circulation postnatally. She gave birth at term by vaginal delivery, with confirmed findings through a 2D echocardiography. Prenatal diagnosis of PA-IVS allows options for the termination of pregnancy, fetal cardiac interventional therapy, early postnatal initiation of prostaglandin E1, and planned early neonatal interventional surgeries for palliation and repair. Early assessment of fetal cardiac features is useful for a better outcome.
