Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The population of people with a single-ventricle is continually increasing due to improvements across the spectrum of medical care. Unfortunately, a proportion of these patients will develop heart failure. Often, for these patients, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) represents the only available treatment option. While single-ventricle patients currently represent a small proportion of the total number of patients who receive MCS, as the single-ventricle patient population increases, this number will increase as well. Outcomes for these complex single-ventricle patients who require MCS has begun to be evaluated. When considering the entire population, survival to hospital discharge is 30–50%, though this must be considered with the significant heterogeneity of the single-ventricle patient population.

  • Outcome of the Norwood Operation in Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: a 12-Year Single-Center Survey
    Furck et al Congenital Heart Disease Outcome of the Norwood operation in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome: A 12-year single-center survey Anke Katharina Furck, MD,a Anselm Uebing, MD,a Jan Hinnerk Hansen,a Jens Scheewe, MD,b Olaf Jung, MD,a Gunther Fischer, MD,a Carsten Rickers, MD,a Tim Holland-Letz, MSc,c and Hans-Heiner Kramer, MDa Objective: Recent advances in perioperative care have led to a decrease in mortality of children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing the Norwood operation. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of the Nor- wood operation in a single center over 12 years and to identify clinical and anatomic risk factors for adverse early CHD and longer term outcome. Methods: Full data on all 157 patients treated between 1996 and 2007 were analyzed. Results: Thirty-day mortality of the Norwood operation decreased from 21% in the first 3 years to 2.5% in the last 3 years. The estimated exponentially weighted moving average of early mortality after 157 Norwood oper- ations was 2.3%. Risk factors were an aberrant right subclavian artery, the use and duration of circulatory arrest, and the duration of total support time. The anatomic subgroup mitral stenosis/aortic atresia and female gender tended to show an increased early mortality. In the group of patients who required postoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the ascending aorta was significantly smaller than in the remainder (3.03 Æ 1.05 vs 3.63 Æ 1.41 mm). Interstage mortality was 15% until the initiation of a home surveillance program in 2005, which has zeroed it so far.

    1 Palliative Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease นพ.พงศ์เสน่ห์ ดวงภักดี อาจารย์ที่ปรึกษา รศ.นพ.เจริญเกียรติ ฤกษ์เกลี้ยง บทนํา ! อุบัติการณ์โรคหัวใจในเด็กของประเทศไทยใกล้เคียงกับหลายประเทศทั่วโลก โรคหัวใจพิการแต่กําเนิดพบได้บ่อย ที่สุดเกินร้อยละ 80-90 ของโรคหัวใจทั้งหมด ส่วนโรคไข้รูมาติกและโรคหัวใจรูมาติกพบได้น้อยลง ขณะเดียวกันโรคคาวา ซากิพบบ่อยขึ้น รวมทั้งโรคของกล้ามเนื้อหัวใจ เช่น กล้ามเนื้อหัวใจอักเสบจากเชื้อไวรัส และโรคของกล้ามเนื้อหัวใจชนิดไม่ ทราบสาเหตุ ! ประเทศไทยมีทารกเกิดใหม่ประมาณ 8 แสนคน อุบัติการณ์ของโรคหัวใจพิการแต่กําเนิดอยู่ที่ประมาณร้อยละ 1 หรือประมาณ 8,000 คน ร้อยละ 50 ตรวจพบขณะไม่มีอาการ อีกร้อยละ 50 มีอาการ คือ หัวใจวาย (24.7%) เขียว (21%) ! เป้าหมายในการผ่าตัดรักษาสูงสุด คือ การผ่าตัดแก้ไขให้เหมือนกับคนปกติทั้ง anatomy และ physiology รองลง มาคือ hemodynamic และ physiology ที่ใกล้เคียงกับปกติมากที่สุด แต่ถ้าหากไม่สามารถทําได้ ก็ต้องผ่าตัดแก้ไขให้ผู้ ป่วยสามารถมีชีวิตอยู่ได้ด้วย hemodynamic อื่น ! การเลือกวิธีการผ่าตัดแบบใดนั้น ขึ้นกับชนิดและความซับซ้อนของความผิดปกติที่ตรวจพบ รวมทั้งความสามารถ และความถนัดของศัลยแพทย์ ซึ่งได้แก่ - การผ่าตัดแบบประคับประคอง (palliative) จะใช้เมื่อไม่สามารถผ่าตัดแก้ไขความผิดปกติทั้งหมดได้แต่แรก และบางรายอาจต้องผ่าตัดแบบประคับประคองอีกหลายครั้ง ซึ่งสุดท้ายก็ยังคงได้แค่ประคับประคอง ไม่ สามารถผ่าตัดแก้ไขความผิดปกติได้ทั้งหมด - การผ่าตัดประคับประคองไปก่อนสักระยะหนึ่ง แล้วค่อยทําการผ่าตัดแก้ไขความผิดปกติทั้งหมดให้เหมือน ปกติในภายหลัง - การผ่าตัดแก้ไขความผิดปกติทั้งหมดให้เหมือนปกติในคราวเดียวเลย (definitive) ซึ่งผู้ป่วยส่วนใหญ่ สามารถทําได้ตั้งแต่แรกเกิดหรือในขวบปีแรก ประเภทของโรคหัวใจพิการแต่กําเนิดชนิดเขียว2,8
