Abstract

Pediatric heart transplantation can present with many obstacles, including size mismatch of the donor heart with the thoracic cavity of the recipient. For the patient to have vitality, they may need to have surgical interventions to address these conditions. We investigate the case of a 23-month-old infant who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation for nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Given the large size of the donor heart relative to the infant, a subsequent modified thoracoplasty was performed to allow for chest wall closure. This report provides potential surgical techniques that can be taken and follows the patient for a 25-year time span.

儿童心脏移植供体-受体尺寸不匹配后胸壁重建的新方法：25年随访。

儿童心脏移植可能存在许多障碍，包括供体心脏与受体胸腔的大小不匹配。为了让病人有活力，他们可能需要手术干预来解决这些问题。我们研究了一例23个月大的婴儿因非缺血性扩张型心肌病接受原位心脏移植。考虑到供体心脏相对于婴儿大，随后进行改良胸廓成形术以关闭胸壁。本报告提供了可采取的潜在手术技术，并对患者进行了25年的随访。
