       1) Ipossia e acidosi: entro 24 ore ( chiusura del PDA) infusione PGE1

         presente un VSD

       3) Diagnosi ecocardiografica accurata e programmazione correzione
Primi trattamenti
• Infusione di PGE1 per far riaprire il dotto arterioso se è presente cianosi

•   Atriosettostomia sec. Rashkind: procedura ecoguidata, si introduce un
    catetere con pallone in vena femorale e da qui lo si spinge attravero la vena
    cava inferiore in atrio destro. Si fa passare in catetere attraverso il forame
    ovale in atrio sinistro. Si gonfia il pallone e si tira con forza per lacerare la
    valvola del forame ovale in modo da aumentare il mixing intracardiaco.

• Terapia medica antiscompenso fino all’intervento.
Correzione chirurgica
Indicazioni all’intervento:

CORREZIONE PRIMARIA NELLE PRIME 2 SETTIMANE DI VITA

   Correzione precoce: il ventricolo sinistro perde la sua ipertrofia contro le
basse resistenze polmonari.

   Non più in grado di sostenere acutamente le resistenze sistemiche post
   intervento correttivo.

Tetralogia di Fallot

          Viene chiamata anche
          Morbo blu o Maladie bleu.

          Descritta per la prima volta nel 1888
          da Etienne-Louis Arthur Fallot.
Fisopatologia
La cianosi è dovuta allo shunt destro-sinistro.
L’entità dello shunt destro-sinistro è determinata dal grado di stenosi del RVOT e
dalle resistenze vascolari sistemiche.

Surgical history of repair
           (University of Padua)
           Evolution of our surgical policy

• Since 80’s: “Classic” transventricular
 repair in infants
• Since 1991: Early transatrial one-stage
 repair (6-3 months of age)
• Since   2007:     Further        evolution:   PV
 preservation
Correzione chirurgica

                           Indicazioni all’intervento:

Timing chirurgico:

   a) Pazienti sintomatici (neonati cianotici, crisi ipossiche)   correzione
immediata

    b) Pazienti asintomatici    correzione elettiva nei primi 3 mesi di vita
Surgical repair: timing

The timing for complete repair is still controversial and varies from center to
center.
World-wide trend favors early repair (3-6 months of life), just as for many other
complex CHDs.

Complete early repair has been advocated to avoid:

-   Abolish chronic cyanosis and spells
-   Systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts and their consequences
-   Chronic RV pressure overload and myocardial compensatory hypertrophy
    (which requires a more extensive resection, at the time of the repair)
-   Hospital costs and offering patients one instead of two operations.
Trans-atrial approach

Our standard institutional policy for TOF repair in early infancy since June 1991
(usually in patients ≤3 months of life) includes:

1) trans-atrial/trans-pulmonary approach to the pulmonary outflow tract
2) incision of the PV annulus with minimal right ventriculotomy (3-5 mm), when
necessary
3)trans-atrial closure of the ventricular septal defect using an autologous
pericardial patch
Trans-atrial approach

We have demonstrated a trend towards a reduced RV volume and a better
ejection fraction in the long term after transatrial repair, when compared to a
classic transventricular repair.

Minimizing or eliminating a right ventriculotomy may also reduce the substrate
for ventricular arrhythmias arising from incisions in the right ventricle.

Transannular patch

• Despite the awareness of late consequences of
 pulmonary valve regurgitation, TAP remains the
 most prevalent technique for repairing TOF.

        Leading inevitably to chronic PR
Monocusp for RVOT reconstruction

Monocusp reconstruction of the RVOT by using either pulmonary
homografts (less frequently prosthetic material)

This can avoid immediate PVR, improving the short-term clinical
outcome.

Nonetheless, when a cusp needs to be added, leaflets function
often deteriorate over time, resulting in a progressive PV
regurgitation.
PV preservation techniques
                                                  Since 2007

                                            Transatrial / transpulmonary approach
                                                                                  +
                                                  PV balloon dilation (trans-atrial)
                                                            +/- valve resuspension

PV preservation techniques
Data at follow-up

• 58 pts (96%) at follow-up

• Median follow-up time of 3.5 yrs (IQR 1.6-5.2 yrs)

• Only 1 late reoperations for RVOT early in our experience

• The median RVOT gradient: 20 mmHg (IQR 15-25 mmHg)

• The degree of PV regurgitation (total at follow-up)

                           None/mild in 42 pts (75%)
                           Moderate in 14 pts (25%)
Conclusions

We believe that the preservation of the PV
function during early repair of TOF, by
combining different intra-operative surgical
maneuvers, can be extended to almost all
patients with classic TOF
Conclusions

• Our results show that this new surgical technique:

• 1) can reduce early and mid-term post-operative
  pulmonary regurgitation

• 2) improving RV function
Conclusions

•   By preserving PV function during early TOF repair we
    should contribute to ameliorate the long-term follow-up,
    possibly decreasing the number of future re-interventions on
    the RVOT.

•   A longer follow-up and a larger case-series are needed.

Transposition of the great arteries: history

1950 The surgery of TGA commenced in 1950 when Alfred
Blalock and Rollins Hanlon described a closed method of atrial
septectomy at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

                      permitted survival of children with

                      In the ’60s the Senning operation was
                      largely abandoned to favor a less
                      complicated Mustard operation.
                      For the next decade, the Mustard operation
                      was universally employed.

                      In the middle 70’s the Senning operation
                      was eventually revived for the potential
                      advantage of avoiding prosthetic baffles,
                      especially in small children.

1977, Yacoub et Al introduced the two-stage approach by
banding the MPA (with or without systemic-pulmonary artery
shunt) to stimulate the development of left ventricle mass,
followed by arterial switch a few months later.
               The majority of patients with TGA have an intact ventricular
               septum and no pulmonary stenosis.

1974 Vincenzo Gallucci performed the first Mustard operation.

                          In late ’70s      Mustard operation was
                          abandoned to favor the Senning operation
                          with excellent outcome (Prof. V. Gallucci;
                          Prof. A. Mazzucco).

                          In early ’80s Padua was pioneering the
                          arterial switch operation in Italy to become
                          the preferred operation in the presence of
                          normal coronary arteries anatomy.

1993: The first successful arterial switch operation
for d-TGA and intramural coronary arteries.

Since 1991, over 340 arterial switch operation have
been performed in our institution with a more recent
operative mortality of 2% and excellent long term
results.
