Abstrakt: Background: The optimal treatment for infants with aortic coarctation and hypoplastic aortic arch is controversial. The goal of this study was to report the short-term and mid-term outcomes of aortic arch advancement (AAA) in infants with hypoplastic aortic arch.
Methods: All infants who underwent AAA at our institution from 1995 to 2012 were included. AAA consisted of coarctectomy and end-to-side anastomosis of the descending aorta to the distal ascending aorta/proximal arch through a median sternotomy. The cohort was divided into four groups: (1) isolated AAA (n=29, 11%), (2) AAA with closure of ventricular septal defect (n=56, 20%), (3) AAA with other biventricular repairs (n=115, 42%), and (4) AAA as part of single-ventricle palliation (n=75, 27%).
Results: The cohort included 275 patients: 125 (45%) were female, and the median age was 14 days (interquartile range, 7-34 days). Genetic abnormalities were present in 48 patients (17%). Neurologic adverse events occurred in 3 patients (1%), all in group 4. Left bronchial compression was seen in 2 patients (0.7%); only one required intervention. Vocal cord dysfunction was noted in 36 of 95 patients (38%) on routine laryngoscopy. Only 1 patient had clinical residual dysfunction at the last follow-up visit. Perioperative mortality was 3% (n=8). At a median follow-up time of 6 years, 8 patients (3%) had reinterventions at a median time of 5 months (3-17 months) after repair.
Conclusions: AAA is a safe, effective, and durable operation with low rates of adverse events and mid-term reintervention. The advantages include native tissue-to-tissue reconstruction and preserved potential for growth. As such, it is the ideal technique for the management of hypoplastic aortic arch in neonates and infants.
