Project description:BackgroundDouble outlet right ventricle (DORV) describes a group of congenital heart defects where pulmonary artery and aorta originate completely or predominantly from the right ventricle. The individual anatomy of DORV patients varies widely with multiple subtypes classified. Although the majority of morphologies is suitable for biventricular repair (BVR), complex DORV anatomy can render univentricular palliation (UVP) the only option. Thus, patient-specific decision-making is critical for optimal surgical treatment planning. The evolution of image processing and rapid prototyping techniques facilitate the generation of detailed virtual and physical 3D models of the patient-specific anatomy which can support this important decision process within the Heart Team.Materilas and methodsThe individual cardiovascular anatomy of nine patients with complex DORV, in whom surgical decision-making was not straightforward, was reconstructed from either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data. 3D reconstructions were used to characterize the morphologic details of DORV, such as size and location of the ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrioventricular valve size, ventricular volumes, relationship between the great arteries and their spatial relation to the VSD, outflow tract obstructions, coronary artery anatomy, etc. Additionally, physical models were generated. Virtual and physical models were used in the preoperative assessment to determine surgical treatment strategy, either BVR vs. UVP.ResultsMedian age at operation was 13.2 months (IQR: 9.6-24.0). The DORV transposition subtype was present in six patients, three patients had a DORV-ventricular septal defect subtype. Patient-specific reconstruction was feasible for all patients despite heterogeneous image quality. Complex BVR was feasible in 5/9 patients (55%). Reasons for unsuitability for BVR were AV valve chordae interfering with potential intraventricular baffle creation, ventricular hypoplasia and non-committed VSD morphology. Evaluation in particular of qualitative data from 3D models was considered to support comprehension of complex anatomy.ConclusionImage-based 3D reconstruction of patient-specific intracardiac anatomy provides valuable additional information supporting decision-making processes and surgical planning in complex cardiac malformations. Further prospective studies are required to fully appreciate the benefits of 3D technology.

Project description:ObjectivesIn complex double outlet right ventricle (DORV) patients, the optimal surgical approach may be difficult to assess based on conventional 2-dimensional (2D) ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. The aim of this study is to assess the added value of 3-dimensional (3D) printed and 3D virtual reality (3D-VR) models of the heart used for surgical planning in DORV patients, supplementary to the gold standard 2D imaging modalities.MethodsFive patients with different DORV subtypes and high-quality CT scans were selected retrospectively. 3D prints and 3D-VR models were created. Twelve congenital cardiac surgeons and paediatric cardiologists, from 3 different hospitals, were shown 2D-CT first, after which they assessed the 3D print and 3D-VR models in random order. After each imaging method, a questionnaire was filled in on the visibility of essential structures and the surgical plan.ResultsSpatial relationships were generally better visualized using 3D methods (3D printing/3D-VR) than in 2D. The feasibility of ventricular septum defect patch closure could be determined best using 3D-VR reconstructions (3D-VR 92%, 3D print 66% and US/CT 46%, P < 0.01). The percentage of proposed surgical plans corresponding to the performed surgical approach was 66% for plans based on US/CT, 78% for plans based on 3D printing and 80% for plans based on 3D-VR visualization.ConclusionsThis study shows that both 3D printing and 3D-VR have additional value for cardiac surgeons and cardiologists over 2D imaging, because of better visualization of spatial relationships. As a result, the proposed surgical plans based on the 3D visualizations matched the actual performed surgery to a greater extent.

Project description:The individualized surgical approach in individuals with both arterial trunks arising from the morphologically right ventricle is dictated by the extreme morphological variability encountered in this setting, with each patient being unique. An individualized surgical approach has been designed to take account of the morphological variations, identifying the anatomy with the preoperative three-dimensional CT scan reconstruction. The key features have been considered the distance between tricuspid and pulmonary valves, the size and location of the interventricular communication, and the relationship between the outflow tracts. The surgical approach is tailored, whenever feasible, to create a connection between left ventricle and aorta, but primarily to achieve biventricular repair. Account has been taken of all available surgical options already reported in the literature, identifying the most suitable to provide the best outcomes for each unique morphology. To date, meaningful comparison between different reported surgical series has been difficult because of the marked variation of individual intracardiac morphology, and the lack of reports of specific surgical approaches for well-categorized groups of patients. Our approach, being tailored to the individual cardiac morphology, can be offered to any patient with this ventriculo-arterial connection. Given the difficulties of diagnosis, and the multiple therapeutic indications, very close collaboration between cardiologists and surgeons is indispensable for further progress in the understanding and management of this complex congenital cardiac lesion.

Project description:A case of an infant, following surgical repair for double outlet right ventricle, who developed low cardiac output syndrome and complete heart block that required insertion of a pacemaker is presented. The infant underwent optimization of his ventricular function to determine whether pacing the right ventricle or left ventricle or both would improve cardiac function. Using standard two-dimensional echocardiography and Doppler imaging, tissue synchronization imaging, and two-dimensional speckle-tracking strain analysis, improvement in cardiac output and function was demonstrated. The present case highlights the usefulness of newer echocardiographic techniques in pacemaker optimization in the acute postoperative setting.

Project description:Surgical procedures for double-outlet right ventricle with ventricular septal defect are based on rerouting the blood flow of the left ventricle to the aorta through the ventricular septal defect (VSD) with an intraventricular baffle. The right atriotomy is the most common approach combined with a right ventriculotomy in some cases, particularly in pulmonary stenosis association. However, in complex cases, this standard operative strategy may not provide an adequate exposure. We describe the transaortic approach as an alternative procedure to repair a complex case of double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with subaortic stenosis.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12055-021-01261-7.

Project description:ObjectiveThis population-based, comprehensive, retrospective study presented the clinical outcomes of all children born in Norway between 2003 and 2017 with double outlet right ventricle.MethodsAll children born with double outlet right ventricle between 2003 and 2017 were identified in the Oslo University Hospital registry. Patients' characteristics, interventions, complications, and deaths were recorded. Echocardiographic data were reviewed for classification according to current standards. We investigated time-dependent surgical reintervention and mortality using Kaplan-Meier analyses and determinants of treatment complications, reintervention, and death using regression analyses.ResultsNinety-three children with double outlet right ventricle represented an annual median prevalence of 1.18 per 10,000 births in Norway. Six children received palliative care. With an intention to treat, a surgical route with primary biventricular repair was followed for 62 children, staged biventricular repair for 15, and univentricular repair for 10 children. Major complications occurred in 1.0% and 6.2% children following catheter or surgical intervention, respectively. No significant determinants of the complications were identified. Overall survival following treatment was 91.9%, 90.8%, 89.5%, and 89.5% and corresponding freedom from surgical reintervention was 88.0%, 79.0%, 74.9%, and 69.4% at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years, respectively. The presence of atrioventricular septal defect predicted an increased risk of mortality (Hazard-Ratio: 7.16) but did not increase the risk of surgical reintervention.ConclusionIn Norway, most children receive tailored treatment for double outlet right ventricle with low rates of complications, surgical reinterventions, and mortality. However, atrioventricular septal defect remains a potential determinant of postoperative death.
