Abstract
To determine the association between several perioperative variables and in-hospital shunt thrombosis and mortality in patients weighing less than 3 kg with functional univentricular heart (UVH) who underwent modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. Between January 2006 and February 2016, 85 patients who weighed less than 3 kg with functional UVH and underwent modified Blalock-Taussig shunt were reviewed. In-hospital shunt thrombosis and mortality were the primary outcomes. The associations between perioperative variables and outcomes were assessed with univariate and multivariate analyses. In-hospital shunt thrombosis was 14% (12 of 85). Hospital mortality was 18% (15 of 85), which resulted in an 82% discharge survival rate. Shunt thrombosis was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 18.9, 95% confidence interval 4.5-78.9). There were no statistically significant associations between weight, specific diagnosis of functional UVH and shunt thrombosis or mortality. Multivariate analysis identified delayed initiation of anticoagulant (P < 0.01) and postoperative cardiac arrest (P < 0.01) as risk factors of shunt thrombosis, while intraoperative bradycardia (P < 0.01), high postoperative haemoglobin (P = 0.03) and s...Continue Reading
