Thirty-two patients (23 male and 9 female) underwent redo aortic surgery. The mean age at surgery was 13.5 +/- 11.3 years. Seventeen patients had undergone initial aortic balloon valvuloplasty (BVP) and 15 patients open commissurotomy (COM).

Seven of the patients with previous COM (43.8%) had undergone concomitant surgery along with initial commissurotomy.

Most patients are asymptomatic, and if symptoms are presented, they depend on the underlying anatomy. Knowledge of those fistulas is important for prognosis and management. Methods: Thirteen adult patients with congenital coronary fistulas (8 male, 5 female) were operated in our department during the last decade (1990 - 1999). Mean age was 61.5 +/- 10.8 years. Diagnosis was made by coronary angiography, and 15 congenital coronary artery fistulas were found. Results: All patients were symptomatic with clinical symptoms depending on the associated cardiac disorder. Coronary artery fistulas originated from the proximal left descending artery (n=10), left main stem (n=3), circumflex artery (n=1), right coronary artery (n=1), and drained into the main pulmonary artery (n=14) and left ventricle (n=l). Nine fistulas (60%) were interrupted on the outside of the heart, and six fistulas (40%) were closed through the opened pulmonary artery. There was no surgical death and no fistula-related complication. Conclusions: Surgical closure of congenital coronary artery fistulas in adults can be performed with a very low risk, and closure is recommended to prevent complications.

The present retrospective study investigates the indications for reoperation late after corrective surgery. Methods: Data from 914 consecutive cases who underwent correction of tetralogy of Fallot in our department between 1960 and 2002 were retrospectively reviewed and analysed. In 91 patients, a total of 102 reoperations were performed late after repair. Results: The mean time interval between corrective surgery and the first reoperation was 12.8 years. The main indication for reoperation was residual ventricular septal defect in nearly half of the cases, mostly isolated, but also in combination with a right ventricular outflow tract aneurysm or pulmonary stenosis. One-fourth of reoperated patients underwent a procedure on their pulmonary artery or pulmonary valve: replacement of pulmonary valve, replacement of primary implanted pulmonary artery conduits with or without concomitant surgery, and surgery for isolated peripheral pulmonary stenosis. The remaining indications were right ventricular outflow tract aneurysms and others. Aneurysms of the right ventricular outflow tract were seen mostly after the use of autologous - untreated - pericardial patch in 18 of 21 cases. Conclusion: The number of reoperations for residual ventricular septal defect decreased during the study period. The primary use of conduits led to an increased number of reoperations for conduit exchange due to degeneration or failure. Use of an untreated autologous pericardial patch for enlargement of the right ventricular outflow tract should be avoided due to increased risk for aneurysm formation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1017/S1047951110000442"],["dc.identifier.isi","000280379300007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20456817"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19284"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Cambridge Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","1047-9511"],["dc.title","Indications for reoperation late after correction of tetralogy of Fallot"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In order to evaluate operative risk and early outcome after mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) in this population, we reviewed patients who underwent previous repair of congenital heart defects. Between July 2002 and November 2008, 15 (10 male and 5 female) consecutive patients (mean age 14.5 +/- 10.5 years) underwent mechanical AVR. Hemodynamic indications for AVR were aortic stenosis in four (27%), aortic insufficiency in eight (53%), and mixed disease in three (20%) after previous repair of congenital heart defects. All patients had undergone one or more previous cardiovascular operations due to any congenital heart disease. Concomitant cardiac procedures were performed in all of them. In addition to AVR, in two patients, a mitral valve exchange was performed. One patient received a right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit replacement as concomitant procedure. The mean size of implanted valves was 23 mm (range 17-29 mm). There were neither early deaths nor late mortality until December 2008. Reoperations were necessary in five (33%) and included implantation of a permanent pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block in two (15%), mitral valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis due to moderate to severe mitral regurgitation in one (7%), aortocoronary bypass grafting due to stenosis of a coronary artery in one (7%), and in one (7%), a redo subaortic stenosis resection was performed because of a secondary subaortic stenosis. At the latest clinical evaluation, all patients were in good clinical condition without a pathological increased gradient across the aortic valve prosthesis or paravalvular leakage in echocardiography.

Minimally invasive approaches for repair of congenital heart defects have gained in popularity. Aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of the partial inferior sternotomy approach to repair various congenital heart defects. Methods. Since 1998, 100 children (55 males; mean age: 3.8 +/- 3.7; mean weight: 15.1 +/- 8.7 kg) were operated on via a limited median vertical skin incision and partial inferior sternotomy. Preoperative diagnoses were: ASD II (N.=46), sinus venosus defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (N.=12), partial AV-canal (N.=4), VSD (N.=35), tetralogy of Fallot (N.=2), and double chambered right ventricle (N.=1). Cannulation was always performed via the chest incision. Results. There were no deaths. Mean cross-clamp time was 49.9 +/- 30.6 minutes, and mean operation time 192 +/- 46 minutes. Mean postoperative mechanical ventilation time, Intensive Care Unit stay and hospital stay were 9.7 +/- 10.4 hours, 1.8 +/- 0.7 days, and 12 +/- 3.0 days, respectively. Complications included pneumothorax requiring drainage in 2 patients, atrioventricular block necessitating a permanent pacemaker in 1 patient. The incisions healed properly. All patients are in excellent condition after a mean follow-up of 32 +/- 25 months. On echocardiography no residual defect was evident in 98 patients, and a mild mitral insufficiency in two patients operated on partial atrioventricular canal. Conclusion. The partial inferior sternotomy approach to congenital heart operations is less invasive than and cosmetically superior to full sternotomy with reduced postoperative pain and discomfort for the patients.
