Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular venous (PCIJV) for extracorporeal circulation during minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) in children with simple congenital heart disease. From September 2007, 83 children (<16 years) underwent PCIJV for extracorporeal circulation. Primary outcome of the study was to evaluate the safety and advantages of PCIJV technique. Technical steps and pitfalls of PCIJV technique are described. Median age at surgery was 9 years (range 3.5-16 years) and median body weight was 31 kilograms (range 13-72 kilograms); 32 patients (40%) had a body weight less than 30 kilograms. The PCIJV was achieved with a 14 French cannula in 61 pts (73%), with a 17 Fr cannula in 22 (23%). The PIJVC was judged difficult in 2 patients (2.4%); in both of them cannulation was achieved at a different venous site There were no procedure-related complications and no flow disturbances during the extracorporeal circulation. The PCIJV during MICS is an effective and reproducible technique for achieving peripheral CPB in children with simple CHDs. We progressively expanded the use of this technique in smaller children and this allows us to further m...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.
