The relationship between congenital heart disease and lymphatic abnormalities and/or dysfunction is well documented and can be grossly divided into syndromic and non-syndromic etiologies. In patients with genetic syndromes (as examples listed above), there are known primary abnormal lymphatic development leading to a large pleiotropic manifestation of lymphatic dysfunction. Non-syndromic patients, or those without clear genetic etiologies for their lymphatic dysfunction, are often thought to be secondary to physiologic abnormalities as sequelae of congenital heart disease and palliative surgeries. Patients with congenital heart disease and lymphatic dysfunction have a wide variety of clinical manifestations for which there were not many therapeutic interventions available.

Over the past five years, there has been the introduction of many new therapies with differing mechanisms of action and a goal of achieving mucosal healing, as well as clinical and biochemical remission (1,2). In addition, management is aimed at restoring normal growth and normalizing quality of life. The ultimate goal is to individualize medical management and determine the right drug for the right patient by identifying which inflammatory pathway is predominant and avoiding unwarranted lack of efficacy or side effects through biomarkers and risk prognostication. Patient's age, location of disease, behavior (inflammatory vs. penetrating/structuring), severity and growth delay all play into deciding on the best treatment approach. Ultimately, early intervention is key in preventing complications. The therapeutic approaches to management can be broken down to nutritional therapy, biologic agents, immunomodulators (including corticosteroids), aminosalicylates and antibiotics. There are numerous other therapies, such as small molecule agents recently approved in adults, which are garnering a great deal of interest.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49543,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Pediatric Surgery","volume":"33 2","pages":"Article 151398"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reported findings reflect a thorough exploration of the literature, including initial surveys of practice/readiness assessments, consensus recommendations of expert panels, and data from a rapidly growing number of single center studies. These efforts have culminated in a national prospective, multicenter trial evaluating clinical and implementation outcomes for enhanced recovery in children undergoing GI surgery.
