Item Comparison of different pulmonary valve reconstruction techniques during transannular repair of tetralogy of fallot(WILEY, 2021-01-01) Temur, Bahar; Aydin, Selim; Suzan, Dilek; Kirat, Baris; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Erek, ErsinBackground Transannular patch, which results in pulmonary insufficiency (PI), is usually required during repair of tetralogy of fallot (TOF). In this study, we compared three types of pulmonary valve reconstruction techniques during transannular repair of TOF. Methods Between February 2014 and January 2018, 50 patients with TOF underwent primary repair with transannular patch. These patients were divided into three groups. In Group 1, (n = 15), a single gluteraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch (standard method) was reconstructed as monocusp. In Group 2, (n = 16) Nunn's bileaflet pulmonary valve reconstruction technique was used with pericardial patch. In Group 3, (n = 19), Nunn's bileaflet technique was performed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane. The outcomes of the patients and early and midterm competency of the pulmonary valves were analyzed. Results These techniques were significantly effective in early postoperative period. Freedom from moderate to severe PI were 73.3\%Item Outcomes of hybrid and Norwood Stage I procedures for the treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and its variants(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2020-01-01) Erek, Ersin; Aydin, Selim; Temur, Bahar; Onalan, Mehmet Akif; Suzan, Dilek; lyigun, Muzeyyen; Demi, lBrahim Halil; Odemis, EnderBackground: In this study. we present the outcomes of hybrid and Norwood Stage I procedures for the treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and its variants. Methods: In this study, a total of 97 pediatric patients who were operated due to hypoplastic left heart syndrome and its variants between March 2011 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-two of the patients (28 males, 4 females: median age 5 days: range, 1 to 25 days) underwent Norwood Stage I operation (Group N). while the remaining 65 patients (44 males, 21 females: median age 6 days: range, 1 to 55 days) underwent a hybrid procedure (Group H). Both treatment strategies were compared. Results: The median body weight in Group H was significantly lower and the number of patients with a low birth weight (<2,500 g) was significantly higher than Group N (p=0.002 and 0.004. respectively). The postoperative early mortality rate was similar between the groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the need for preoperative mechanical ventilation was a significant factor for mortality (p=0.004 and 0.003, respectively). Syndromic appearance was also a significant factor the multivariate analysis (p=0.03). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the inter-stage mortality rates (p=0.0045). Second-stage procedure was performed in 32 patients. The early mortality rate after the Glenn operation was 7.6\%. Six patients died after comprehensive Stage II operation. Five patients underwent biventricular repair and 8 patients had third-stage fenestrated extracardiac Fontan operation (Group N, n=7 and Group H. n=1). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve demonstrated that Group N had a higher survival rate at both one and five years than Group II. although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.15). Subgroup analysis showed that the Norwood procedure with Sano modification had the highest survival rate with 40\% at five years. Conclusion: Our study results show that patients undergoing the Norwood procedure have a more uneventful course of inter-stage period and Stage II and III. despite drawbacks early after Stage I procedure. Based on our experiences, we recommend performing the hybrid intervention in patients with a poor clinical condition and a body weight of <2.500 g.Item Incidence and treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Erek, Ersin; Suzan, Dilek; Aydin, Selim; Hesenov, Ramal; Temur, Bahar; Kirat, Bans; Yildiz, Okan; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Odemis, EnderBackground: In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Methods: A total of 13 patients (7 males, 6 femalesItem Outcomes of home mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy after congenital heart surgery(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-01) Temur, Bahar; Emre, Ismet E.; Aydin, Selim; Onalan, Mehmet A.; Basgoze, Serdar; Ozcan, Esra; Dogruoz, Alper; Erek, ErsinObjective: After congenital heart surgery, some patients may need long-term mechanical ventilation because of chronic respiratory failure. In this study, we analysed outcomes of the patients who need tracheostomy and home mechanical ventilation. Methods: Amongst 1343 patients who underwent congenital heart surgery between January, 2014 and June, 2018, 45 needed tracheostomy and HMV. The median age of these patients was 6.4 months (12 days-6.5 years). Nineteen patients underwent palliation while 26 patients underwent total repair. Post-operative diaphragm plication was performed in five patients (11\%). Median duration of mechanical ventilation before tracheostomy was 32 days (8-154 days). The patients were followed up with their home ventilators in ward and at home. Mean follow-up time was 36.24 +/- 11.61 months. Results: The median duration of ICU stay after tracheostomy was 27 days (range 2-93 days). Follow-up time in ward was median 30 days (2-156 days). A total of 12 patients (26.6\%) were separated from the ventilator and underwent decannulation during hospital stay. Thirty-two patients (71.1\%) were discharged home with home ventilator support. Of them, 15 patients (46.9\%) were separated from the respiratory support in median of 6 weeks (1 week-11 months) and decannulations were performed. Total mortality was 31.1\%. in which four patients are still HMV dependent. There was no significant difference for decannulation between total repair and palliation patients. Conclusion: HMV via tracheostomy is a useful option for the treatment of children who are dependent on long-term ventilation after congenital heart surgery although there are potential risks.Item Sequential percutaneous tricuspid and pulmonary valve implantation in a young child operated previously for Ebstein Anomaly(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-01) Odemis, Ender; Yenidogan, Irem; Aydin, SelimWe report a successful percutaneous tricuspid valve implantation followed by a percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a young child with Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve and pulmonary stenosis who was previously treated surgically at 1 year of age with tricuspid ring annuloplasty and a transannular outflow patch. This article shows the feasibility of sequential implantation of two valves in young patients with severe tricuspid and pulmonary valve insufficiency.Item Selective Upper-Body Perfusion Technique for Removal of Renal Cell Carcinoma Extending into the Inferior Vena Cava and Right Atrium(TEXAS HEART INST, 2017-01-01) Aydin, Selim; Cengiz, Bora; Gokay, Banu Vural; Mammadov, Anar; Emiroglu, Remzi; Eskicorapci, Saadettin; Erek, ErsinInvasion of a renal cell carcinoma thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is infrequent. Reaching and completely excising a tumor from the inferior vena cava is particularly challenging because the liver covers the surgical field. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent surgery for a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney that extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. During dissection of the liver to expose the inferior vena cava, transesophageal echocardiograms revealed right atrial mass migration into the tricuspid valve. On emergency sternotomy, the tumor embolized into the main pulmonary artery. We used a selective upper-body perfusion technique involving moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, and clamping of the descending aorta, which provided a bloodless surgical field for precise removal of the mass and resulted in minimal blood loss. Our technique might be useful in other patients with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium because it reduces the need for transfusion and avoids the deleterious effects of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Our case also illustrates the importance of continuous transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring to detect thrombus embolization.Item Collateral dependent cerebral and coronary circulation in a newborn(SPRINGER INDIA, 2020-01-01) Suzan, Dilek; Aydin, Selim; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Erek, ErsinAssociation of interrupted aortic arch with aortic atresia as a variant of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is extremely rare and could not be compatible with life without a reliable source for cerebral and coronary blood flow.
