Management of failing bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt: Influence of additional systemic-to-pulmonary-artery shunt with classic Glenn physiologyCentral MessagePerspective

Objectives: Severe hypoxemia in the early postoperative period after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) is a critical complication. We aimed to evaluate patients who underwent additional systemic to pulmonary shunt and septation of central pulmonary artery (partial takedown) after BCPS. Method...

description Objectives: Severe hypoxemia in the early postoperative period after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) is a critical complication. We aimed to evaluate patients who underwent additional systemic to pulmonary shunt and septation of central pulmonary artery (partial takedown) after BCPS. Methods: The medical records of all patients who underwent BCPS between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed. Patients who underwent partial takedown were extracted and their outcomes were analyzed. Results: Of 441 BCPS patients, 27 patients (6%) required partial takedown. Most frequent diagnosis was hypoplastic left heart syndrome (n = 14; 52%). Additional complicating factors included pulmonary artery hypoplasia (n = 12) and pulmonary venous obstruction (n = 3). Thirteen patients (48%) underwent partial takedown on the same day of BCPS, and all of them survived the procedure. The remaining 14 patients (52%) underwent partial takedown between postoperative 1 to 64 days. The reasons for partial takedown were: postoperative high pulmonary vascular resistance (n = 4), early BCPS (<90 days) with PA hypoplasia (n = 3), mediastinitis/pneumonia (n = 3), pulmonary venous obstruction (n = 2), ventricular dysfunction (n = 1), and recurrent pneumothorax (n = 1). Four patients experienced hospital deaths. Six patients died after discharge, 10 achieved Fontan completion, and 6 were alive and waiting for Fontan. Overall survival after partial takedown was 54% at 3 years. The pulmonary venous obstruction (P = .041) and genetic/extracardiac anomalies (P = .085) were identified as risks for mortality after partial takedown. Conclusions: The partial takedown resulted in a 3-year survival rate of more than 50%. Of these patients, a significant number underwent successful Fontan completion who would exhibit potential early death with conservative treatment.
