Survival and Clinical Course at Fontan After Stage One Palliation With Either a Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt or a Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Conduit
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesWe sought to determine whether the type of shunt used at stage one palliation (S1P) affected the survival and the perioperative course through Fontan completion.BackgroundAlthough improved surgical and interstage survival have been demonstrated with the use of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit compared with a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (BTS) at S1P, it is unknown whether this effect will be observed in long-term follow-up.MethodsAll patients who underwent a S1P during 2002 and 2003 (n = 80) at our institution were included for analysis. Patients were followed until death or June 1, 2007. Perioperative variables at Fontan completion were recorded.ResultsFor the entire cohort, cumulative survival for those who underwent a RV-PA conduit (n = 34) was 79.4% at 3 years compared with 65.8% in the modified BTS group (n = 46) (log-rank = 0.31). At Fontan (n = 44), when compared with those who had received a modified BTS, those who had a RV-PA conduit placed at S1P had no difference in the median duration of ventilation (21 h [range 10 to 96 h] vs. 26.5 h [range 7 to 204 h], p = 0.09) or hospital stay (9 days [range 5 to 29 days] vs. 10 days [range 6 to 48 days], p = 0.89), although length of stay in the intensive care unit was shorter (2 days [range 0 to 6 days] vs. 4 days [range 1 to 25 days], p = 0.01). Sixty-seven percent of the RV-PA conduit group had at least one PA intervention 3 years after S1P compared with 42.8% in the modified BTS group (log-rank = 0.11).ConclusionsNonstatistically significant trends toward improved cumulative survival and increased PA interventions were demonstrated in patients who had a RV-PA conduit placed at S1P. Longitudinal follow-up of larger groups of randomized patients is required to determine the influence of the RV-PA conduit on long-term outcomes.
