摘要
目的:总结冠状窦房间隔缺损儿科患者的特征和术后效果:总结冠状动脉窦房间隔缺损儿科患者的特征和术后疗效:这项回顾性研究招募了 2011 年至 2023 年期间广东省心血管病研究所确诊的冠状动脉窦房间隔缺损儿科患者。从电子病历中收集临床特征、超声心动图参数、手术过程和术后结果:68例患者中,50%为男性,中位年龄为1.0岁。4例(5.9%)患者在产前即被确诊。I、II、III和IV型冠状动脉窦房间隔缺损患者的比例分别为51.5%、5.9%、16.1%和26.5%。最常见的并存心脏畸形是持续性左腔上静脉。超声心动图漏诊或误诊的病例有 27 例,占总病例数的 39.7%,其中 I 型是最常见的漏诊病例。54 名患者接受了手术,2 名患者接受了经皮介入治疗,其余患者没有接受任何手术或介入治疗。随访中,两名 I 型冠状动脉窦房间隔缺损患者死于多器官功能障碍,一名患者因心外通道狭窄而再次手术。其余患者未发生任何重大事件,恢复良好:结论:患有冠状动脉窦房间隔缺损的儿童患者通常没有特殊的临床表现。加强对冠状动脉窦室间隔缺损的解剖和血流动力学特征的了解可提高超声心动图诊断的准确性。如果怀疑确诊,可通过心脏 CT 和心脏磁共振进行确认。准确的冠状动脉窦室间隔缺损术前和术中诊断有助于提高手术成功率和治疗效果。
Characteristics and postoperational outcomes in paediatric patients with coronary sinus septal defect: a retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To summarise the characteristics and postoperative outcomes in paediatric patients with coronary sinus septal defect.
Method: This retrospective study recruited paediatric patients diagnosed with coronary sinus septal defect from the Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute between 2011 and 2023. Clinical characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes were collected from electronic health records.
Results: Among the 68 patients, 50% were male, with a median age of 1.0 years. Four cases (5.9%) were diagnosed during the prenatal period. The proportions of patients with type I, II, III, and IV coronary sinus septal defect were 51.5%, 5.9%, 16.1%, and 26.5%, respectively. The most common coexisting cardiac anomalies were persistent left superior caval vein. Twenty-seven cases were either missed or misdiagnosed by echocardiogram, accounting for 39.7% of the overall cases, with type I being the most frequently missed diagnosis. Fifty-four patients underwent surgery, two patients received transcutaneous intervention, while the remaining patients did not undergo any surgery or intervention. At follow-up, two patients with type I coronary sinus septal defect died from multiorgan dysfunction, and one patient underwent reoperation due to narrowing of the extracardiac tunnel. The remaining patients did not experience any major events and recovered well.
Conclusion: Paediatric patients with coronary sinus septal defect often do not exhibit specific clinical manifestations. Enhancing our understanding of the anatomic and haemodynamic characteristics of coronary sinus septal defect can improve the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography. If diagnosis is suspected, confirmation can be obtained by cardiac CT and cardiac magnetic resonance. Accurate preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of coronary sinus septal defect contributes to high surgical success rates and favourable treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Cardiology in the Young is devoted to cardiovascular issues affecting the young, and the older patient suffering the sequels of congenital heart disease, or other cardiac diseases acquired in childhood. The journal serves the interests of all professionals concerned with these topics. By design, the journal is international and multidisciplinary in its approach, and members of the editorial board take an active role in the its mission, helping to make it the essential journal in paediatric cardiology. All aspects of paediatric cardiology are covered within the journal. The content includes original articles, brief reports, editorials, reviews, and papers devoted to continuing professional development.
