Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population. We describe surgical interventions, short- and long-term mortality and morbidity, and risk factors for adverse events in a population-based cohort. Methods: Patients over or equal to 18 years with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, from 1994 to 2012 were included in the study. Diagnoses, surgical procedures, postoperative complications, and survival were identified in hospital databases, medical records, and the Danish Civil Registration System. Results: Four hundred seventy-four surgeries were performed in 445 adults (50% men). The median age was 39 years (range 18-83). Thirty-nine percent had previous surgical or catheter-based interventions. Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality were 1.1%. Postoperative complications occurred in 50% of cases, most were minor such as temporary arrhythmias and pneumonia. Major complications included postoperative bleeding necessitating intervention (6%), stroke (2%), and acute temporary renal failure (1%). Multivariate analysis identified RACHS-1 categories over or equal to 3 compared to category 1 (odds ratio (OR) = 2.3; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-3.7), New York Heart Association functional class III and IV compared to class I (OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.3-3.7) and age at surgery (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04), as risk factors for adverse events. Survival during a median follow-up of 7.8 years (range 0 days-21.4 years) was 85% (95% CI: 80%-89%). Conclusion: Adults with congenital heart disease constitute a growing population with the need for cardiac surgery. Postoperative complications are frequent but early and late mortality are low.

Introduction: In Vietnam, knowledge about renal function in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is limited. Hypothesis: This study aims to estimate incidence of renal dysfunction in adults with congenital heart disease and risk factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, including 365 CHD patients more than 16 years old. We collected clinical and para-clinical information, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and calculated the odds ratio (OR) for reduced GFR. Results: Totally, 52.8% patients had GFR < 90 ml/phút/1.73 m 2 . Logistic regression had confirmed the OR for GFR < 90 ml/phút/1.73 m 2 in the group > 60-years-old, the group with atrial fibrillation, the group with heart failure (based on NT-proBNP > 125 pmol/L), and the group with pulmonary arterial hypertension (based on pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 50 mmHg by echocardiography) were 6.46 (95% CI: 1.37 - 30.41), 7.58 (95% CI: 1.66 - 34.56), 2.98 (95% CI: 1.49 - 5.98) and 1.84 (95% CI: 1.02 - 3.33), respectively. Conclusions: Renal dysfunction is common in adults with CHD. Age > 60 years-old, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and pulmonary arterial hypertension were risk factors for renal dysfunction in adults with CHD.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute renal injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cardiac surgery in infants with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods: Single-center data from a total of 613 infants with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiothoracic surgery in Fujian Union Hospital.The included patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of AKI: AKI group (n = 68) and non-AKI group (n = 92). We obtained clinical data from the electronic hospitalization information system and the laboratory database. All infants were tested for serum creatinine at least twice within 12 hours of admission and after operation. We determined AKI events according to creatinine criteria for improving global prognosis of renal diseases.The general and clinical data of the infants were collected, and the related risk factors were explored by univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis. Results: 160 patients had congruent lab and echocardiogram data foranalysis. Most of patients are male (56.26%). Original congenital cardiac malformation is similar with our study, the most common is left-to-right shunt CHD(58%), followed by right-to-left shunt CHD(18.75%). All patients showed differences in liver function, renal function, cardiac function and inflammatory indexes within 12 hours of admission and after operation(p<0.05). The AKI group and non-AKI group showed Significant statistical difference in arein age, serum myocardial enzyme , hepatic function, ejection fraction , hemoglobin , platelet count were significantly different meaning (p<0.05). Regression analyses showed that blood oxygen saturation (95%CI 1.003-2.999), CREA(95%CI 1.070-1.253), UREA(95%CI 1.180-3.325), CRP(95%CI 1.006-1.058), BNP(95%CI 0.999-1.000) at 12 hours postoperatively, and in admission to PCT (95%CI 0.461-0.936), Neu(95%CI 0.909-0.995), ALP(95%CI 1.070-1.253) , nadir intraoperative renal regional tissue oximetry to be independent predictors of postoperative kidney damage as measured by blood oxygen saturation, hepatic function, kidney function, cardiac function , Serum myocardial enzyme , inflammatory factor s and blood Routine . Conclusions: Choosing the best age for infants's cardiac surgery, actively preventing preoperative complica- tions, postoperative pneumonia, heart failure and hypoxia play an important role in preventing AKI.

AbstractObjectives:To describe a group of infants with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) who had candidemia postoperatively and to perform a case–control study of risk factors.Design:Descriptive and case–control study.Setting:Tertiary-care medical centers.Patients:Infants with CCHD who underwent cardiac surgery and developed candidemia. Controls were matched for congenital heart disease lesions, age, and postoperative hospital stay.Results:Of 95 infants younger than 6 months with CCHD who underwent cardiac surgery between January 1999 and April 2001, 6 (6.3%) developed candidemia with 5 different species. The candidemia was prolonged (range, 12 to 32 days; median, 17 days). The interval between cardiac surgery and onset of candidemia was 12 to 57 days (median, 24 days). All had a central venous catheter inserted 8 to 50 days prior to the onset of candidemia. The mortality rate was 83%, compared with 13% for the group without candidemia. A univariate analysis of the potential risk factors revealed that duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), duration of antibiotics, intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time, and documentation of an intravascular thrombus were associated with candidemia. In multivariate analysis, long duration of TPN and documentation of a thrombus were associated with candidemia.Conclusions:Candidemia following cardiac surgery for infants with CCHD was persistent and associated with high mortality. The variety of species indicates that this was not a common-source outbreak. Risk factors associated with candidemia were duration of TPN and documentation of an intravascular thrombus.

AbstractBackgroundAcute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is a frequent and serious complication among children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and adults with acquired heart disease; however, the significance of kidney injury in adults after congenital heart surgery is unknown. The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of acute kidney injury after surgery for adult CHD. Secondary objectives included determination of risk factors and associations with clinical outcomes.MethodsThis single-centre, retrospective cohort study was performed in a quaternary cardiovascular ICU in a paediatric hospital including all consecutive patients ⩾18 years between 2010 and 2013.ResultsData from 118 patients with a median age of 29 years undergoing cardiac surgery were analysed. Using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome creatinine criteria, 36% of patients developed kidney injury, with 5% being moderate to severe (stage 2/3). Among higher-complexity surgeries, incidence was 59%. Age ⩾35 years, preoperative left ventricular dysfunction, preoperative arrhythmia, longer bypass time, higher Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery-1 category, and perioperative vancomycin use were significant risk factors for kidney injury development. In multivariable analysis, age ⩾35 years and vancomycin use were significant predictors. Those with kidney injury were more likely to have prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and cardiovascular ICU stay in the univariable regression analysis.ConclusionsWe demonstrated that acute kidney injury is a frequent complication in adults after surgery for CHD and is associated with poor outcomes. Risk factors for development were identified but largely not modifiable. Further investigation within this cohort is necessary to better understand the problem of kidney injury.

Abstract Background: The aim of our study was to analyze the risk factors of nosocomial infection after cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study, and children with CHD who underwent open-heart surgeries at Shanghai Children’s Medical Center from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018 were included. The baseline characteristics of these patients of different ages, including neonates (0-1 months old), infants (1-12 months old) and children (1-10 years old), were analyzed, and the association of risk factors with postoperative nosocomial infection were assessed. Results: A total of 11937 subjects were included in the study. The overall nosocomial infection rate was 11.10%. Nosocomial infection rates in neonates, infants, and children with congenital heart disease were 25.41%, 15.78%, and 5.31%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found age (OR 0.804, 95%CI: 0.776-0.834; P<0.001), STS risk grade (OR 1.308, 95%CI: 1.203-1.423; P<0.001), body mass index (BMI)

Background: The survival of patients with congenital heart disease has increased in the recent years, because of enhanced diagnostic capabilities, better surgical techniques, and improved perioperative care. Many patients will require reoperation as part of staged procedures or to treat grafts deterioration and residual or recurrent lesions. Reoperations favor the formation of cardiac adhesions and consequently increase surgery time; however, the impact on morbidity and operative mortality is certain. The objective of the study was to describe the risk factors for mortality in pediatric patients undergoing a reoperation for congenital heart disease. Methods: Historic cohort of patients who underwent reoperation after pediatric cardiac surgery from January 2009 to December 2015. Operations with previous surgical approach different to sternotomy were excluded from the analysis. Results: In seven years, 3,086 surgeries were performed, 481 were reoperations, and 238 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Mean number of prior surgeries was 1.4 ± 0.6. Median age at the time of reoperation was 6.4 years. The most common surgical procedures were staged palliation for functionally univentricular heart (17.6%). Median cross-clamp time was 66 minutes. Younger age at the moment of resternotomy, longer cross-clamp time, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons–European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery (STAT) Mortality Categories risk category greater than three were risk factors for mortality. The number of resternotomies was not associated with mortality. Mortality prior to hospital discharge was 4.6%, and mortality after discharge but prior to 30 days after surgery was 0.54%. Operative mortality was 5.1%. Conclusions: Resternotomy in pediatric cardiac surgery is a safe procedure in our center.
