Repair of complete atrioventricular canal defects: Early and midterm results and comparison of the left anterior leaflet augmentation technique with traditional technics
(WILEY, 2021-01-01) Basgoze, Serdar; Yildiz, Okan; Ozturk, Erkut; Onan, Ismihan Selen
Background Complete atrioventricular septal defects (CAVSD) include a variable spectrum of congenital malformations with different forms of clinical findings. We examined early and midterm outcomes, the need for reoperation, postoperative residual AV valve regurgitation, and other risk factors after various CAVSD repairs. Methods Between 2014 and 2018, we have performed 89 isolated CAVSD repairs. We retrospectively reviewed the patients' medical records. Patients were divided into three groups according to their repair techniques modified one patch repair (MP) (n = 16)
The effect of intravenous iloprost on pulmonary artery hypertension after paediatric congenital heart surgery
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-01-01) Onan, Ismihan Selen; Ozturk, Erkut; Yildiz, Okan; Altin, Husnu Firat; Odemis, Ender; Erek, Ersin
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of intravenous iloprost on pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in infants undergoing congenital heart surgery. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized study, the study group (n = 15) received a continuous infusion of iloprost (2.0 ng/kg/min) that was delivered immediately after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and continued for 72 h postoperatively. Patients in the control group (n = 12) were managed conventionally. The groups were compared in terms of postoperative data, including systolic and mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressures, PA/systemic pressure ratio, lactate level, PAH crisis, ventilation time, reintubation and lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay. Transthoracic echocardiography was used to assess PA pressures at 1 day, 7 days and 30 days after surgery. RESULTS: No mortality occurred. PAH crisis occurred in 2 (16.6\%) patients in the control group and 4 (26.7\%) patients in the study group (P = 0.53). Postoperative PA pressures and PA/systemic pressure ratios were similar between the groups (P > 0.05). The durations of ICU (P = 0.40) and hospital (P = 0.98) stays were similar between the groups. Echocardiographic studies demonstrated a significant decrease in postoperative PA pressures in the control (P = 0.001) and study (P = 0.0001) groups. However, no significant change was observed between the groups (P > 0.05). The Tukey multiple comparison test showed a significant decrease in PA pressures at each follow-up in both groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous iloprost demonstrated no additional benefit over the conventional management of infants with PAH after repair of intracardiac defects. Clinicians may prefer other alternative agents in infants with a high risk of PAH crisis.
