Pulmonary autograft in children: realized growth potential

Pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve has the potential to remain viable and grow in proportion to the somatic growth of the child. Changes in aortic annulus and sinotubular dimensions were compared early and late postoperatively, and related to normal. Eighty- six children, 0.9 to 21 years, were operated on between 1986 and 1993: 42 had a root replacement, 24 an inclusion cylinder, and 20 a scalloped subcoronary implant. Actuarial survival at 7 years was 96.5% +/- 2.0%. Freedom from reoperation for the pulmonary autograft or the homograft reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract was 92% +/- 4%. Freedom from reoperation on the autograft in root replacements was 96% +/- 4%, in the inclusion cylinder was 100%, and in the scalloped subcoronary was 90% +/- 7% (not significant). Aortic annulus and sinotubular junction diameters were compared with normal values predicted by body surface area. In 22 intraaortic implants, early and late postoperative annulus diameter mean Z values are in the normal range. In the 23 root replacements, early annulus diameter was within the normal range, but late Z values were larger than normal (p < 0.02). Intraaortic implant annulus diameter increased proportionally to somatic growth, but the sinotubular junction, which was small, remained small but increased toward normal. In the root replacements, the annulus increased in diameter and became dilated. The sinotubular junction, which was small early, increased and was within the normal range late. Lower operative risk and valve durability without failure suggest improved results with inclusion cylinder technique.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
