In the presented study TDI will be used as a modern technique to characterize RV-function in Fallot patients at rest and during different exercise conditions.
To compare of mid-term results of total correction of tetralogy of fallot between preservation of pulmonary valve and trans-annular patching , thus avoiding PV regurgitation during TOF repair , this will determine the value of this procedure over trans-annular patching regarding to right ventricular performance.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect with the vast majority of survivors of corrective surgery left with some degree of right ventricular (RV) volume overload due to pulmonary regurgitation (PR) which cause RV enlargement with right heart failure, diminished biventricular function, ventricular arrhythmia, sudden death and decreased exercise performance over time. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) has been thought to ameliorate these complications but the timing of replacement has yet to be determined with equipoise at the moment in this decision making process. As nearly all studies in this regard are retrospective with much less data in pediatric TOF than adults, this pilot trial sets the stage to create a prospective randomized trial in the teenage years.
Evidence is emerging that those patients with cyanotic pathologies may be more vulnerable to end-organ injury during and after surgery than those patients without, because of compromised cardiopulmonary performances or the proinflammatory state that follows conventional hyperoxic cardiopulmonary bypass. Several clinical and basic studies have identified that controlled oxygenation during the initiation of bypass significantly improved the cardiac adaptation and remodeling capacity than hyperoxic oxygenation strategy among cyanotic patients undergoing tetralogy of Fallot repair, as evidenced by these reduced myocardial gene expression profiles associated with reoxygenation injury. The investigators designed the reoxygenation for pediatric cardiac surgery study to investigate the effect of reoxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass on clinical outcomes in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease .
Conventionnal cadiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference to assess changes in right heart flow and pulmonary artery hemodynamics in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot. 4D Flow CMR Imaging is a new imaging modality able to assess all of these parameters faster (8 min vs 30 min) and more comfortably. The aim of this study is to compare conventionnal CMR and 4D Flow CMR for the assessment of these parameters (ventricular volume, ventricular systolic function, and regurgitation of the pulmonary pathway).
This study aims to assessing right ventricular function early after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot and identifying the risk factors associated with development of RV dysfunction.
This study will assess the safety and performance of the GORE PV1 Device for replacement of the pulmonary valve and reconstruction of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT).
Congenital malformations correspond to defects in organ morphogenesis identifiable at birth or intrauterine life, affecting 2-3% of births. Inside of these malformations, Congenital Heart Disease corresponds, in particular, to structural defects of the heart or major blood vessels thereof may or may not be associated with other types of syndromes.The resolution is usually surgical. Also, these patients present a decrease in physical fitness, psychological imbalance, lower quality of life and risk significant morbidity and mortality from respiratory infections among other problems. This can have severe consequences for health in the medium and long term. The habits acquired during childhood and adolescence are determinant for the adult life, being relevant levels of activity and physical condition, especially in children with pathologies. In this way, it is vital to know from childhood parameters that indicate the baseline state of these patients according to the levels of physical activity, exercise capacity, nutritional status and quality of life. These will be key indicators to take into account in the future, to adapt rehabilitation plans that will reduce the effects of their condition. The objective of this protocol is To characterize the levels of Activity, and Physical Capacity of children with congenital heart disease regularly treated at the Cardiovascular Center of Dr. Luis Hospital Calvo Mackenna, compared to healthy children matched by age and sex.
The primary objective of the study will be to compare intraoperative post TOF repair RVOT gradient under two different anaesthetic depths. Secondary objectives will be to follow up change in RVOT gradient till 1 month post-operatively, observe extubation time, inotropes used post-operatively by vasoactive- inotropic score (VIS), RV functions at discharge from ICU and at 1 month follow- up
