Abstract

We reviewed the surgical results of intracardiac lateral tunnel Fontan procedure for the repair of functional single ventricles. Between 1990 and 1996, 104 patients underwent total cavopulmonary anastomosis. Patients' age and body weight averaged 35.9(range 10 to 173) months and 12.8(range 6.5 to 37.8) kg. Preoperative diagnoses included 18 tricuspid atresias and 53 double inlet ventricles with univentricular atrioventricular connection and 33 other complex lesions. Previous palliative operations were performed in 50 of these patients, including 37 systemic to pulmonary artery shunts, 13 pulmonary artery bandings, 15 surgical atrial septectomies, 2 arterial switch procedures, 2 resections of subaortic conus, 2 repairs of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and 1 Damus-Stansel-Kaye procedure. In 19 patients bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt operation was performed before the Fontan procedure and in 1 patient a Kawashima procedure was required. Preoperative hemodynamics revealed a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 14.6(range 5 to 28) mmHg, a mean pulmonary vascular resistance of 2.2(range 0.4 to 6.9) wood-unit, a mean pulmonary to systemic flow ratio of 0.9(range 0.3 to 3.0), a mean ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 9.0 (range 3.0 to 21.0) mmHg, and a mean arterial oxygen saturation of 76.0(range 45.6 to 88.0)%. The operative procedure consisted of a longitudinal right atriotomy 2cm lateral to the terminal crest up to the right atrial auricle, followed by the creation of a lateral tunnel connecting the orifices of either the superior caval vein or the right atrial auricle to the inferior caval vein, using a Gore-Tex vascular graft with or without a fenestration. Concomitant procedures at the time of Fontan procedure included 22 pulmonary artery angioplasties, 21 atrial septectomies, 4 atrioventricular valve replacements or repairs, 4 corrections of anomalous pulmonary venous connection, and 3 permanent pacemaker implantations. In 31, a fenestration was created, and in 1 an adjustable communication was made in the lateral tunnel pathway. One lateral tunnel conversion was performed in a patient with recurrent intractable tachyarrhythmia 4 years after the initial atriopulmonary connection. Post-extubation hemodynamic data revealed a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 12.7(range 8 to 21) mmHg, a mean ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 7.6(range 4 to 12) mmHg, and a mean room-air arterial oxygen saturation of 89.9(range 68 to 100) %. The follow-up duration was, on average, 27(range 1 to 85) months. Post-Fontan complications included 11 prolonged pleural effusions, 8 arrhythmias, 9 chylothoraces, 5 of damage to the central nervous system, 5 infectious complications, and 4 of acute renal failure. Seven early(6.7%) and 5 late(4.8%) deaths occured. These results proved that the lateral tunnel Fontan procedure provided excellent hemodynamic improvements with acceptable mortality and morbidity for hearts with various types of functional single ventricle.

서울대학교 어린이병원 흉부외과에서는 1990년부터 1996년까지 104례의 기능적 단심실을 가진 선천성심기형 환아에 대하여 심장내 외측통로술을 이용한 완전폰탄술을 시행하였다. 환아의 연령 및 체중분포는 각각 평균 35.9(범위 10-72) 개월, 12.8 (범위 6.5-37.8) kg이었다. 술전진단은 삼첨판폐쇄증(18), 단심실연결을보이는 중복개구심실(53) 및 기타 기능적 단심실을 동반한 복잡심기형(33)이었다, 50례의 환아에 대하여 체폐동맥 단락술 (37), 폐동맥밴딩(13), 외과적 심방중격절제술(15), 동맥전환술(2), 대동맥하 누두부제거술(2), 총폐정맥이상연결증(2), 폐동맥-대동맥봉합술(Damus-Stansel-Kaye, 1) 등의 고식술이 시행되었다. 완전폰탄술식전 19례의 양방향성 체정맥-폐동맥단락술과 1례의 전(全)체정맥-폐동맥단락술(Kawashima procedure)이 진행되었다. 술전 혈역학소견상, 평균 폐동맥압/폐혈관저항은 14.6 (범위 5-28mmHg) / 2.2 (범위0.4-6.9)wood.unit였으며, 폐혈류/체혈류비가 평균 0.9 (범위0.3-3.0)였다. 이완기말심실압은 평균 9.0 (범위 3.0-21.0) mmHg였고 동맥혈의 산소포화도는 평균 76.0 (범위 45.6-88.0) %였다. 수술은 분계능(terminal crest) 2cm 외측으로 우심이부터 우심방-하공정맥경계부에 종절개를 가하고 하공정맥개구부부터 상공정맥개구부 또는 우심이까지 Gore-Tex 인조도관을 이용하여 외측통동을 형성시키는 방법으로 시행하였으며 필요한 경우 통로상에 4-5.5 mm 직경의 구멍을 만들어 주었다. 동시에 시행한 술식은, 폐동맥성형술(22), 심방중격절제술(21), 폐정맥이상연결증 교정(4), 영구적인 인공심박동기거치(3) 등이었고, 32례에 대하여 통로내 구멍을 만들어 주었으며 그중 1례는 조절형(adjustable)으로 시행하였다. 심방-폐동맥 연결 방법으로 시행한 폰탄술 후 4년후에 발생한 재발성 난치성 상심실형 부정맥환아 1례에 대하여 외측통로형의 변환 폰탄술식이 시행되었다. 수술 직후 혈역학 소견상 평균 폐동맥압, 이완기말심실압, 실온에서 동맥혈의 산소포화도가 각각 12.7 (8-21)mmHg, 7.6 (범위4-12)mmHg, 89.9 (범위68-100) %였다. 병원사망율은 6.7 (7/104) %였고 술후 합병증으로 지속적인 늑막삼출(11), 부정맥(8), 유미흉(9), 중추신경계손상(5), 감염 및 염증(5), 급성신부전(4)이 발생하였다. 평균 27.2 (범위1-85) 개월동안의 외래 추적결과 5명의 만기 사망이 있었다. 저자등은 본연구결과를 토대로 심장내 외측통동폰탄술식이 기능적 단심실 환자에 대하여 비교적 낮은 사망율 및 합병증과 우수한 혈역학으로 시행될수 있는 수술방법이란 사실을 입증하였다.
