Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates growth of pulmonary artery (PA) between different age groups after Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) based on a single center experience. METHODS: We retrospective analyzed outcomes of 90 patients undergoing MBTS in our institute from January 1, 2010 to May 1, 2018. Patients were divided into three groups: Group 1, ≦2 months, Group 2, >2 months, ≦24 wmonths, Group 3, >24 months. The outcome included PA growth, overall survival rates and postoperative complications. RESULTS: 23 patients were involved in Group 1, while 49 in Group 2 and 18 in Group 3. The diameter of the PA, McGoon ratio, Nakata index and the oxygen saturation increased significantly after MBTS. Compared to pre-MBTS, there was no statistically significant increase of McGoon ratio in Group 3 after performing MBTS, but it witnessed less secondary cardiac surgery rate compared with Group 2 (11.11% vs. 48.98%, P = 0.005). Cumulative survival rates of three groups were 60.53%, 85.70%, 94.40% at 1 year; 60.53%, 78.30%, 87.75% at 3 years and 60.53%, 78.30%, 87.75% at 5 years. Multivariable analysis showed diastolic blood pressure <30 mmHg [OR 14.14 (1.92-104.32), P = 0.009], cardiopulmonary bypass use [OR 16.79 (2.05-137.67), P = 0.009] and single ventricle anomaly [OR 8.80 (1.18-65.54), P = 0.034] were predictors of perioperative mortality. CONCLUSION: MBTS in our institute is a conventional and effective procedure for growth of PA especially for patients younger than 24 months. Patients with biventricular anomaly, no cardiopulmonary bypass use in surgery and relatively high postoperative diastolic blood pressure will likely offer a good prognosis.
