Abstract
Objective: Outcomes ofarterial switch operation for simple Taussig - Bing anomaly at Children Heart Center, Vietnam National Children’s Hospital was evaluated.
Methods: From January 2010 to December 2018, all patients diagnosed of simple Taussig - Bing anomaly (without aortic arch anomalies) who underwent arterial switch operation at our center was retrospective review.
Results: There were 36 consecutive patients was enrolled to this study. The median age and the median weight at operation was 98 + 69 days [12 - 294], and 4.2 + 0.9 kg [2.8 - 6.7], respectively. Therewere 3 early death (8.3%) and 1 late death (2.8%) after arterial switch operation. The major complication was nosocomial infection. There were 2 patients required reoperation during a mean follow - up time of 47.5 + 33.9 months [1 - 102]: 1 patient with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and 1 patient have sinus disfunction bradycardia required atrial pacemaker implantation. The Kaplan - Meier methods shown the overall survival was 89% at 1 year follow - up and steady maintain at the midterm follow - up.
Conclusions: Outcomes of arterial switch operation for simple Taussig - Bing anomaly in Vietnam National Children’s Hospital was satisfaction, and longer follow - up are essential.
