Objective To summarize the experience of open heart operation on neonates with critical and complex congenital heart diseases and evaluate the methods of perioperative management. Methods From May 2001 to January 2003, 12 patients of neonates with congenital heart diseases underwent emergency operation. Their operating ages ranged from 6 to 30 days, the body weights were 2.8 to 4.5 kg. Their diagnoses included D-transposition of the great arteries in 4 cases, ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect in 5 cases, complete atrioventricular septal defect, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and cardiac rhabdomyomas in 1 case respectively. 12 cases were operated under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results All cases were observed in ICU for 2-11 days and discharged 7-19 days after operation. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, mediastinal infection, respiratory distress syndrome, systemic capillary leak syndrome and acute renal failure. All cases were cured and the follow-up (from 6 months to 2 years) showed satisfactory outcome. Conclusion A particular cardiopulmonary bypass and proper perioperative management is very important to ensure the successful outcome. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method for treating acute renal failure after cardiac operation in neonates.

Fontan operation is still a main procedure for treatment of complex congenital heart disease, such as univentricular heart. Fontan procedure has undergone many revisions since its introduction in 1968. The earlyapplied atriumpulmonary connection has been replaced by total cavopulmonary connection. The midterm and late results of both the intraatrial lateral tunnel and extracardiac total cavopulmonary connections were compared and analyzed in this article. Extracardiac conduit is better. The Fontan circulation failure would appear at last because of nopump function of the right ventricle. Once Fontan circulation failure occurred and could not recover by medicine, heart transplantation is mandatory, but the source of donor heart is lacking. The study of mechanical cavopulmonary assist device, to “biventricularize” the univentricular Fontan circulation, has been developed, which is quite promising. Following the development of diagnostic and treatment techniques for fetal heart disease, the treatment procedure of complex congenital heart disease has been broadened in recent years, such as to prevent the severe aortic stenosis from developing into hypoplastic left heart syndrome with fetal cardiac intervention so as to increase the chance of biventricular repair, and to terminate gestation to decrease its birth rate of complex heart abnormalities, which could not be completely repaired to date.
Objective To discuss how is the perinatal infant’s prognosis influenced by different cardiac function and types of heart disease in pregnant women with heart disease, and to check the importance of antenatal examination. Method Retrospective analyses were conducted on the clinical records of 102 pregnant women hospitalized due to heart disease from February 2002 to February 2011 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. According to the level of cardiac function, 61 patients were divided into the Level I-II group and the other 41 patients were in the Level III-IV group. Results Of all cases, 38 were congenital heart disease (37.25%), followed by 22 arrhythmia (21.57%), 17 rheumatic heart disease (16.67%), 15 perinatal cardiomyopathy (14.71%), 7 hypertensive heart disease and 3 other types of heart disease. The average gestational weeks were shorter and the neonate’s weight was lower in the Level III-IV group than the Level I-II group, with a significant difference (Plt;0.05); the incidence of premature delivery, low birth weight infant at normal gestational age, neonatal asphyxia and perinatal mortality was higher in the Level III-IV group than the Level I-II group, with a significant difference (Plt;0.05); the rate of regular antenatal examination was higher in the Level III-IV group than the Level I-II group, with a significant difference (P=0.008); and there were significant differences between the regular and irregular examination groups in the incidence of premature delivery and low birth weight infant at normal gestational age (Plt;0.05), but no significant differences were found in the incidence of asphyxia and perinatal mortality (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions Congenital heart disease is the most commonly-seen type in the pregnant women with heart disease. The maternal cardiac function directly impact the prognosis of perinatal infant, and the regular antenatal examination, timely diagnosis and treatment can improve pregnancy outcome.
Objective To investigate the impact of three kinds of palliative operation on the body and growth of pulmonary artery in patients with congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood. Methods Clinical data was reviewed in 28 cases of congenital heart diseases with diminutive pulmonary blood who had been performed cavopulmonary connection （n = 9）, systemic-pulmonary shunt （n = 8 ）, and palliative reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract （n=11）. The period between re-hospitalized and the first was 5-54 months （19.07±10. 06 months ）. Hematocrit （HCT）, hemoglobin （Hb）, percutaneous oxygen saturation （SpO2）, body surface area （BSA）, and pulmonary artery index （PAI） etc. were observed both before palliation and before the second operation. Results After the second hospitalization, there were 7 cases of death from hemorrhage, failure of circulation and extracorporeal circulation accident etc. The time of respirator, intensive care unit and total amount of dopamine in patients of palliative reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract were longer and more than those in patients of cavopulmonary connection （P〈0. 05）. HCT, Hb before the second operation were decreased than thoes before palliative operations in all patients, SpO2, BSA and PAI increased significantly （P 〈 0. 01 ）. Before the second operation, BSA of patients with cavopulmonary connection, BSA and PAI of patients with systemic-pulmonary shunt, SpO2, BSA and PAI of patients with palliative reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract were increased than those before palliative operations（P〈0. 01）. HCT of palliative reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract was decreased（P〈0. 05）. Conclusion This results suggests that pulmonary blood of patients with congenital heart diseases of diminutive pulmonary blood can be increased, development of pulmonary arteries can be improved efficiently by systemic-pulmonary shunt and palliative reconstruction of right ventricle outflow tract, but it can not be found in cavopulmonary connection patients.
Objective To explore the factors affecting the operation of coronary artery bypass grafting with heart beating and improve the effect of the operation. MethodsFrom January 2012 to June 2016, 898 patients with coronary heart disease who received cardiovascular surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively. All patients only underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with beating heart. Among them, 797 patients underwent the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPCABG group, 592 males and 205 females, with an average age of 60.5±8.4 years); another 101 patients received on-pump beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPBH group, 77 males and 24 females, with an average age of 61.5±8.2 years). ResultsThe average number of grafts in the OPCABG group was 3.36±0.74, and in the OPBH group was 3.71±0.69 (P<0.05). The postoperative ventilation time (10.8±9.5 h vs. 20.6±12.3 h), ICU stay (28.8±15.5 h vs. 37.4±30.8 h), hospital stay (10.9±4.8 d vs. 14.8±8.6 d), mortality (1.1% vs. 3.0%), the utilization rate of intra-aortic balloon pump (2.4% vs. 8.9%) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (0.5% vs. 5.0%) were significantly different between the OPCABG group and OPBH group (all P<0.05). Twelve patients died after surgery, and the total bloodless operation ratio was 91.3%. ConclusionThe results show that most patients can achieve good results with the help of apical fixation and myocardial fixator, improved surgical techniques and methods, good anesthesia management as well as flexible and accurate use of vasoactive drugs. But extracorporeal circulation is necessary in the patients with large left ventricle, low ejection fraction and hemodynamic instability after intraoperatively moving the heart.
