Immediate successful device implantation was achieved in 62 patients, and immediate complete occlusion was achieved in 44 patients (44/62%, 71.0%). The closure procedure was waived in 2 patients due to anatomical factors. A total of 6 periprocedural complications occurred in 5 patients, including acute myocardial infarction (n = 3), procedure-related death (n = 1), device embolization (n = 1), and rupture of tricuspid chordae tendineae (n = 1). The acute procedural success rate was 89.4% (59/66), while the acute complication rate was 9.1% (6/66). Follow-up data were collected for 58 (93.5%) out of 62 patients at a median of 9.3 years (range: 3.0–15.7 years). 10 adverse events occurred in 9 patients, including 5 follow-up complications (1 aortic valve perforation, 1 coronary thrombosis, 1 progressive aneurysmal dilation after reintervention, and 2 cases of new-onset tricuspid valve prolapse with significant regurgitation), and 5 closure failure with large residual shunts. The intermediate and long-term adverse event rate was 17.2% (10/58). The anatomical features associated with both acute and follow-up adverse events were large CCFs (<i>p</i> = 0.005), and giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) (<i>p</i> = 0.029). <b>Conclusions:</b> TCC of CCFs in infants and children appears to be effective and is associated with a relatively low complication rate. Large CCFs and giant CAAs represent a higher risk of both acute and intermediate and long-term adverse events after closure.","PeriodicalId":10666,"journal":{"name":"Congenital Heart Disease","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135400900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of this technique into pediatric cardiac surgery will allow us to study features of the anatomy and spatial relations of a defect and to simulate the optimal surgical repair on a printed model in every individual case. <b>Methods:</b> We performed the prospective cohort study which included 29 children with congenital heart defects. The hearts and the great vessels were modeled and printed out. Measurements of the same cardiac areas were taken in the same planes and points at multislice computed tomography images (group 1) and on printed 3D models of the hearts (group 2). Pre-printing treatment of the multislice computed tomography data and 3D model preparation were performed according to a newly developed algorithm. <b>Results:</b> The measurements taken on the 3D-printed cardiac models and the tomographic images did not differ significantly, which allowed us to conclude that the models were highly accurate and informative. The new algorithm greatly simplifies and speeds up the preparation of a 3D model for printing, while maintaining high accuracy and level of detail. <b>Conclusions:</b> The 3D-printed models provide an accurate preoperative assessment of the anatomy of a defect in each case. The new algorithm has several important advantages over other available programs. They enable the development of customized preliminary plans for surgical repair of each specific complex congenital heart disease, predict possible issues, determine the optimal surgical tactics, and significantly improve surgical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":10666,"journal":{"name":"Congenital Heart Disease","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135559350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
