OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of staged hybrid approach in treating ventricular septal defect (VSD) patients combined with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH).
METHODS: From July 2004 to July 2009, 22 VSD patients with PDA and PAH were enrolled and received staged hybrid approach treatment (transcatheter PDA occlusion and elective open surgery for VSD several days after PDA occlusion). All patients were followed up to examine rhythm change, residual shunt, shape of occlude, possible valve regurgitation, and aortic stenosis by echocardiography.
RESULTS: After transcatheter PDA occlusion, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure decreased from (76.2 ± 25.8) mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) to (55.4 ± 20.6) mm Hg (P = 0.005), mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from (53.5 ± 23.5) mm Hg to (36.2 ± 17.8) mm Hg (P = 0.049), total pulmonary resistance decreased from (8.2 ± 4.9) wood units to (6.9 ± 4.3) wood units (P = 0.037), and pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) increased from 2.8 ± 2.3 to 3.4 ± 1.7 (P = 0.045) post transcatheter interventional PDA occlusion. After VSD repair, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure decreased from (64.5 ± 22.3) mm Hg to (43.1 ± 18.9) mm Hg (P = 0.001) and mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from (40.2 ± 18.7) mm Hg to (29.5 ± 15.8) mm Hg (P = 0.040). There was no death or right heart failure during the follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Staged hybrid approach is an effective and safe strategy for treating VSD patients with PDA and PAH.
