Outcome analysis of major cardiac operations in low weight neonates

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

From June 1995 to January 2003, 49 consecutive neonates of less than 2,500 g underwent early surgery for congenital heart disease. A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the early to medium term outcome. Major cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects included a complete correction in 31 patients (group I) and a palliative procedure in 18 patients (group II). Mean age at operation was 15.2 days (1 day-90 days) and mean weight was 2,190 g (1,300 g-2,500 g). Twenty-four children (49%) were born prematurely. All neonates were critically ill and 47% were already ventilated preoperatively. Heart defects included mainly ventricular septal defect (10), tetralogy of Fallot complexes (8), aortic coarctation (8), transposition complexes (7), single ventricle anomalies (4), pulmonary atresia with intact septum (4), interrupted aortic arch (3), totally anomalous pulmonary venous return (3), and common atrioventricular septal defect (2). Overall surgical mortality was 18%: 4 neonates died after definitive repair and 5 after palliation; representing, respectively, 13% and 28% of each group. Postoperative morbidity occurred in half of the patients (53%). Age, weight, prematurity, type of first surgical procedure, and use of car...Continue Reading

Aortic Coarctation

Aortic coarctation is a congenital condition characterized by narrowing of the aorta. Discover the latest research on this disease here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

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.
