Abstract Introduction Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) remains a common sequela in patients following surgically corrected TOF, and may lead to progressive right ventricle dilatation and dysfunction. The conventional approach of redo-sternotomy for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is associated with increased operative time as well as risks of bleeding and injury to the heart and great vessels. Thus, left anterior mini-thoracotomy has become an alternative approach in eliminating the risks of redo-sternotomy in these patients. This series aimed to determine the outcomes of minimally invasive pulmonary valve replacement after surgical TOF correction. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 patients with severe PR post-surgical TOF correction who underwent left anterior mini-thoracotomy PVR in Penang General Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023. Results The median age was 23.5 years (I.Q.range 17.6-36.3), with a male:female ratio of 1:4. Majority of patients had mild to moderate symptoms prior to surgery and 19 patients (79.1%) were on regular diuretics medication. All patients had severe free-flow PR with evidence of right ventricular dilatation and dysfunction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and computed tomography of pulmonary artery were performed prior to surgery. Minimally invasive PVR was performed on all patients via left upper anterior mini-thoracotomy and femoral-femoral bypass without cardioplegic arrest. The operative time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were 208 (I.Q.range 172-324) and 98.6 minutes(I.Q.range 87.4-152.4) respectively. The time to wean off inotropes postoperatively was 6.2 hours (I.Q.range1.4-14.8), and no postoperative arrhythmia and chest re-exploration were reported. Most patients stayed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for 10.8 hours (I.Q.range 8.4-36.5), and the total hospital stay was 4.2 days (I.Q.range 3.4-7.6). 2 patients (11.1%) required blood transfusion postoperative. There was no paravalvular leak and no mortality during the follow-up period of up to 28 months. Conclusion Minimally invasive PVR after surgical correction of TOF is a safe alternative to the conventional redo-sternotomy approach in patients with favorable anatomy. This approach is able to reduce the risks associated with redo-sternotomy, particularly bleeding and injury to mediastinal structures, with the additional benefit of expedited recovery and hospital discharge. Our series has shown a safe and efficient approach in these patients with favorable outcomes. |
