Abstract

This study sought to find the risk factors of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO), PVO-related reintervention, and postoperative mortality, determine the relationship between pulmonary venous confluence (PVC) morphology and the clinical outcomes, and provide the basis for the selection of the optimal surgical strategy for infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). From December 2009 to December 2023, 101 patients with infracardiac TAPVC undergoing surgical repair in our institution were included [Conventional surgery (CS) group, n = 73; Sutureless technique (ST) group, n = 28]. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to demonstrate the survival estimates. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors for primary endpoints. There were 8 in-hospital deaths and 4 late deaths. The survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 88.8%, 87.6%, and 87.6%, respectively, in the whole cohort. Multivariable analysis showed that prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) time was associated with overall mortality and Y-shaped PVC has a trend for a higher mortality rate. Postoperative PVO occurred in 27 patients. Freedom from postoperative PVO at 1, 5, and 10 years were 81.8%, 69.9%, and 69.9%, respectively. Y-shaped PVC and preoperative PVO were incremental risk factors for PVO, but ST repair was a protective factor. Sixteen patients underwent PVO-related reintervention. Y-shaped PVC was the only independent risk factors for PVO-related reintervention while ST repair was a protective factor. Sutureless technique can achieve satisfactory outcomes for infracardiac TAPVC repair. Compared with CS repair, ST repair is significantly associated with decreased postoperative PVO and PVO-related reintervention. Y-shaped PVC is associated with a higher risk of PVO, PVO-related reintervention, and mortality, respectively. Patients with preoperative PVO are more likely to develop postoperative PVO.
