Abstract

Truncus arteriosus is associated with coronary anomalies. We identified coronary artery lesions in patients undergoing repair of truncus arteriosus, defined the impact of lesions on mortality, and studied the effect of surgical intervention of coronary lesions. A retrospective review identified 107 patients with truncus repair (1995-2019). Coronary lesions were categorized as ostial stenosis, intramural, juxtacommissural origin, and single coronary. Survival analysis characterized survival after truncus repair and studied the association of coronary lesions and mortality. Among 107 patients with truncus repair 34 patients had at least 1 coronary lesion. Median follow-up time was 7 years, with 85% 5-year survival. Coronary lesions including ostial stenosis, intramurality, and juxtacommissural origin were associated with increased mortality, whereas single coronaries did not impact survival. Eleven patients had 1 coronary lesion and 6 patients with 2 coronary lesions had similar (80% and 83%, respectively) 5-year survival. Eight patients with 3 coronary lesions had 24% 5-year survival (P = .0003). Among patients with 1 or 2 lesions, surgical intervention on the coronary lesions tended to be associated with longer 5-year survival ...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
