Cardiac surgical outcomes of patients with heterotaxy syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The study objectives were to analyze the outcomes of pediatric patients with heterotaxy syndrome undergoing cardiovascular surgery and to determine the predictors of mortality.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 82 patients diagnosed with heterotaxy syndrome who underwent cardiovascular surgery between January 2008 and December 2017 was performed. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses to determine risk factors for mortality and Kaplan-Meier analysis for survival were performed.

Results

Patient mortality in the cohort was 34% (28/82), including 36% (20/55) for single ventricle palliation and 30% (8/27) for biventricular repair. At 5 years, the probability of survival did not differ between the groups by log-rank testing (P = .829). Mul
