Long-term Outcomes After Interrupted Aortic Arch Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and DiGeorge syndrome. High-risk infantile surgery is required to address IAA, with limited data available on long-term outcomes. We used the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium, a multicenter US-based registry for pediatric cardiac interventions, to assess long-term outcomes after IAA repair by patient characteristics and surgical approach.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing IAA repair between 1982 and 2003. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to examine associations with postdischarge deaths tracked by matching with the US National Death Index.
