ObjectiveTo explore the early outcomes of the surgical treatment for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) combined with intracardiac abnormities via right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy (RVIAT).MethodsA total of 7 children with PDA combined with intracardiac defects underwent surgery through RVIAT at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2016 to 2018. There were 4 males and 3 females, with an average age of 5.3±4.5 years and weight of 18.0±11.2 kg.ResultsIn all patients, PDA was ligated before the repair of intracardiac abnormities. No patient died in hospital. All patients were followed up, with a mean follow-up time of 18.0±8.0 months. No other complications such as residual shunts, arrhythmias, hemorrhaging or wound infection occurred after operations or during the follow-up period.ConclusionRVIAT is an emerging technique used for the surgical repair of PDA combined with intracardiac defects. It yields satisfying cosmetic results, without increasing postoperative complications or mortality.
Objective\ To investigate the surgical technique and clinical results of interruption of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with video assisted thoracic operation (VATO).\ Methods\ Fifty PDA cases were divided into two groups, 25 cases treated with VATO(VATO group) as compared to other 25 cases with conventional surgical interruption(conventional surgical interruption group). In the VATO group, the PDA was interrupted by 2 3 hemoclips under VATO technique, and PDA interrupted by suture ligation with the techni...
Abstract: Objective To investigate videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and percutaneous catheter occlusion (PCO) in interruption of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), in order to achieve minimally invasive surgical injuries and better clinical results. Methods From November 1995 to September 2009, 312 cases of PDA were treated in Fujian provincial hospital, among whom 252 patients were interrupted with VATS(VATS group) and 60 patients with PCO technique(PCO group). For the VATS group, there were 78 males and 174 females aged from 7 d to 31 years old (9.16±8.91 years), while there were 17 males and 43 females aged from 4 to 57 years old (25.55±14.10 years) in the PCO group. We used titanium clip to interrupt PDA under videoassisted thoracoscope for patients in the VATS group, and adopted Amplatzer method for patients in the PCO group. The clinical results, complications and hospital cost in the two groups were compared in this study. Results In the VATS group, all the PDA were successfully interrupted with no residual shunt. In the PCO group, 5% (3/60) of the patients had minor residual shunt after the procedure. No mortality occurred in both groups. Time of the procedure and hospital stay in the PCO group were shorter than that in the VATS group (70.20±31.20 min vs. 112.50±16.30 min, t=6.344,P=0.002; and 4.70±2.20 d vs. 6.50±2.80 d, t=3.241, P=0.022, respectively). However, the hospital cost for each patient in the PCO group was much higher than that in the VATS group (23 222.00±4 333.40 yuan RMB vs. 8 904.50±2 634.60 yuan RMB,t=25.360, P=0.000). Conclusion Compared with PCO, VATS in interrupting PDA can achieved not only excellent clinical results, especially in the newborn and baby cases, but also very satisfying cost which is just a little more than one third of the PCO cost.

Abstract: Objective To optimize surgical treatment for children with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and mitral regurgitation (MR) and evaluate its midterm to longterm outcome in terms of MR. Methods Between Jan. 2008 and Jan. 2011, 25 children with PDA and MR underwent surgical treatment in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center. There were 14 male patients and 11 female patients with average age of 26.36±40.75 (1.72-142.83)months and average weight of 8.98±6.85 (3.80-36.00) kg. The average diameter of PDA was 7.84±3.10 (3-15)mm. There were 22 children with duct-type PDA and 3 children with window-type PDA. There were 5 children with severe MR, 18 children with moderate MR, and 2 children with mild MR. Except one child with mitral stenosis who underwent PDA ligation plus mitral valvuloplasty supported with cardiopulmonary bypass, all other 24 children only underwent PDA ligation through left posterolateral thoracotomy without any management for the mitral valve. Results There was no in-hospital death. The average ventilation time in ICU was 6.70±4.39 (3-24) hours. Except one child was reintubated because of asthma, all other children recovered uneventfully without any postoperative complication. All the 25 children were followed up for 329.23±288.39 (29-967) days. During follow-up, 23 children (92.00%) had their MR level ameliorated in different degree. Preoperative severe MR in 5 children changed into moderate MR in 2 children and mild MR in 3 children. Preoperative moderate MR in 16 children changed into none MR in 5 children, trivial MR in 5 children and mild MR in 6 children. Preoperative mild MR in 2 children changed into none MR in 1 child and trivial MR in another child. Two children with preoperative moderate MR had no improvement during follow-up. Conclusion For infants and children with PDA and MR, conservative treatment strategy should be carried out. Simple PDA ligation can provide satisfactory clinical outcome, which may also avoid negative complications including myocardial injury caused by cardiopulmonary bypass.
ObjectiveTo explore the method and feasibility of establishing patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) model in Bama miniature pig by using autologous jugular vein, and to provide a large animal model for the development of PDA occluder and the study of pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease. MethodsFive male Bama miniature pigs weighing about 45 kg were selected to gain the PDA model of the autogenous jugular vein, which was fixed by glutaraldehyde and anastomosed between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery. The patency of PDA was confirmed by echocardiography and angiocardiography immediately and one week after the operation. Two animals were selected to undergo transcatheter closure of PDA via femoral vein 1 week after the operation, and the rest were euthanized to obtain PDA and lung tissue for pathological examination. ResultsThe PDA model was successfully established in all five animals with a success rate of 100.0%. Immediately and 1 week after the operation, echocardiography and angiography showed that PDA blood flow was unobstructed, and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that PDA endothelialization was good. One week after the operation, two animals were successfully treated with transcatheter femoral vein occlusion. The pathological examination of lung tissue showed thickening of the intima and muscular layer of pulmonary arterioles, thickening of pulmonary interstitium and infiltration of neutrophils. ConclusionIt is safe and feasible to establish a large animal model of PDA by using autogenous jugular vein anastomosis between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery. The model can be used for the development of PDA interventional occlusive devices and the pathophysiological study of congenital heart disease-related pulmonary hypertension.
