2-Year Outcomes After Complete or Staged Procedure for Tetralogy of Fallot in Neonates.

Savla JJ, Faerber JA, Huang YV, Zaoutis T, Goldmuntz E, Kawut SM, Mercer-Rosa L.

J Am Coll Cardiol. 2019 Sep 24;74(12):1570-1579. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2019.05.057.

PMID: 31537267

Take-Home Points: 

• Complete repair has a higher mortality than a staged approach in neonates with tetralogy.
• Postoperative cardiac complications are the most likely mediator for this relationship.

Commentary from Dr. Jared Hershenson (Greater Washington DC), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  Symptomatic/cyanotic infants with TOF require neonatal intervention. There has been debate as to the better strategy: palliation with a shunt or complete repair. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Shunt palliation will prolong cyanosis and require a 2nd surgery.  However, complete repair is a more complex procedure with a longer hospital course and less patients would be able to have a valve-sparing repair, which likely has much better long term consequences. It is known that neonatal repair has a higher morbidity and mortality than later complete repair, but it has not yet been clear which approach may result in the best outcomes in the neonatal population.

This was a retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database between 2004-2015. Primary outcome was death during the 2 year follow up after initial procedure. Somewhat complex statistics were necessary to control for patient and hospital based characteristics, as both could influence the choice of surgical approach. An inverse probability weighted Cox model was used to estimate the effect of the initial procedure on late mortality and a logistic regression was used to analyze mortality within the first hospitalization. To address unmeasured confounding variables and their relative strength, E values were calculated for the estimated hazard and odds ratios.

2363 patients were studied; 1032 had a complete repair and 1331 were staged. Table 1 showed good balance in the weighted sample, with no demographic or patient characteristics being significantly different (all < 10%). Surgeries were performed at 45 hospitals; 24% performed greater than ⅔ complete repairs, 33% performed greater than ⅔ staged repairs, and 42% had equal proportions. Median length of initial hospital stay was 16 days for the complete repair and 15 days for the staged repair. There were 239 deaths, 92 in the complete and 147 in the staged groups. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of each cohort. Complete repair had a greater risk for mortality within the 2 year follow up (HR 1.51) and is shown graphically below. There was no difference within the first week, but from day 7-30 (early), the complete group had an increased risk of mortality (HR 2.29). E-value calculations indicated that only the presence of very strong unmeasured confounders could explain the association of type of repair and survival. See Table 2.  At least one in-hospital cardiac complication was observed in 36.1% of the complete group and 15.4% of the staged group. This was shown to be the primary mediator between surgical approach and mortality, with 87% of the total effect attributable to early mortality and 80% to late mortality. Non-cardiac complications did not mediate the treatment-mortality relationship. However, subgroup analysis did not show a difference in mortality for patients who received a BT shunt versus complete repairs, nor were there differences in those that received an RV to PA conduit within the complete repair group. The authors write that the trend was similar for benefit of BT shunt over complete repair, but the study was possibly underpowered to detect a significant relationship.

As an accompanying editorial suggests, given the limitation of an administrative dataset, the most likely influence of this study will be on those considered to be higher risk. If there is a way to identify those that are more likely to have a cardiac complication, or a way to prevent that complication from occurring, then complete repair risk may be mitigated. Additionally, of those patients in the staged group that did not receive a BT shunt, was it improved catheter based therapy such as RVOT stenting or PDA stenting that led to the improved mortality? Overall, it does seem that a less-invasive initial approach should be favored, especially in the highest risk patients, and decision-making should be individualized to achieve the best possible results. A risk-stratification model may be the next logical step to help determine who may benefit the most from a given therapy.

 

 

Pharmacologic stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the pediatric population: A review of the literature, proposed protocol, and two examples in patients with Kawasaki disease.

Fares M, Critser PJ, Arruda MJ, Wilhelm CM, Rattan MS, Lang SM, Alsaied T.

Congenit Heart Dis. 2019 Sep 9. doi: 10.1111/chd.12840. [Epub ahead of print] Review.

PMID: 31498562

 

Take-Home Points: 

• Pharmacologic stress cardiovascular MRI (PSCMR) is an underused but potentially very helpful modality in assessing certain types of pediatric CHD, especially those with coronary abnormalities or coronary reimplantation.
• Further focused research as well as cost-analysis may be useful, but integrating this with a larger stress perfusion testing center may be most effective.

Commentary from Dr. Jared Hershenson (Greater Washington DC), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  A large trial recently published in JACC on MRI stress perfusion in adults with coronary artery disease received a lot of attention due to the high sensitivity and cost-effectiveness of what is a clearly underused and under-available modality. This was a review article on its use in the pediatric/adult congenital population along with proposed protocols.  Exercise stress testing is of course not feasible for all patients, but the sensitivity and specificity may be low, especially when trying to assess perfusion of the right ventricle. This is also a known limitation of nuclear testing. Often times, pediatric cardiologists need to make decisions based on echo findings, standard stress testing, or sometimes resort to an invasive cardiac catheterization, but which still do not always provide the prognostic information necessary to decide whether surgery or other management needs to occur.

Table 1 lists high risk cohorts who could theoretically benefit from PSCMR which can be categorized as surgical coronary reimplantation, anomalous coronary artery (AAOCA), acquired disease (such as Kawasaki disease (KD)), or systemic right ventricle. Inotropic agents (dobutamine) and coronary vasodilator agents can be used to mimic physical exercise. Dobutamine may be better utilized when there is concern for dynamic obstruction such as in AAOCA or myocardial bridging. A newer vasodilating agent, Regandenoson, has a better side effect profile and only requires a single bolus instead of a continuous infusion as needed in older agents (adenosine/dipyridamole). The authors list the few, relatively small, studies done using PSCMR, and highlight the fact that there is data to suggest higher sensitivity and specificity, along with the advantages of no radiation exposure and not being limited by acoustic windows (as stress echo may be). They also provide a suggested protocol along with dosage when using dobutamine, adenosine, and regadenoson and provide a conceptual framework for imaging (Figure 1). Finally, they discuss 2 case reports of patients with KD and the clear utility of PSCMR. The first case was a patient with a history of giant aneurysms that had mostly resolved and with a normal treadmill stress test. PSCMR showed perfusion defects, and the patient ultimately underwent cutting balloon dilation. The 2nd case was a young patient (4 years old), too young to undergo standard stress testing, with giant aneurysms and perfusion defects. A cath showed near occlusion of the LAD and he underwent CABG.

Hopefully, there will be further published studies looking at PSCMR in pediatric patients, as this is a modality that can be very helpful in certain subgroups for which current testing is limited.

Take-Home Points:

• The prevalence of NEC in neonates with congenital heart disease is 3.7 %.
• Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and TA were the two cardiac lesions associated with the highest frequency of NEC. The odds of developing NEC were 2.7 and 2.6 times when compared to the lesion with the lowest incidence of NEC, that is Transposition of great arteries.
• Adjusted risk factors associated with the development of NEC included prematurity, male sex, AA race, GI abnormality, and additional birth defects. 
• The overall hospital mortality of neonates with CHD and NEC was significantly higher than compared to neonates with CHD  and no NEC.
• NEC was also associated with increased total hospital charges, longer ICU LOS and hospital LOS when compared to those without NEC and the association remained significant when analyzed by the individual cardiac defect.
• No association was found with a 30-day readmission rate.

 

Commentary from Dr. Venugopal Amula (Salt Lake City, UT), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  This is a retrospective multi-institutional study describing the prevalence and mortality of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in neonates with congenital heart disease. The Pediatric Health Information System database was queried for all index hospitalizations involving neonates with CHD between 2004 to 2015 and the primary outcome was the presence of NEC during the index hospitalization. Secondary outcomes studied included in-hospital mortality, hospital LOS, ICU LOS, hospital charges and 30-day readmission. Multivariable analysis for the presence of NEC and in-hospital mortality were performed for each heart defect category utilizing generalized estimating equations to adjust for hospital clustering. The heart defect categories included Single ventricle, Tricuspid atresia (TA), Truncus arteriosus, Transposition of great arteries, Tetralogy of Fallot and isolated arch obstruction. Variables included in the multivariable model for the presence of NEC were prematurity, African American race, male sex, additional birth defect or GI anomaly.

Take-Home Points:

• Based on the World Symposium of Pulmonary Hypertension WSPH ( Nice, 2018) PH is now defined as mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mPAP) > 20mm in children > 3 months of age at sea level. The limit was decreased from 24 to 20mm hg based on adult studies where even mild elevation of mPAP between 20-24mm Hg was found to be independent predictor of poor survival.
• Children with suspected PH should be evaluated, treated and monitored in specialized pediatric centers. The initial evaluation should include a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, assignment to the functional class, assessment of cardiac function by ECG, Echocardiogram. Further testing and advance imaging is guided by the key findings in the history and include but are not limited to cardiac catheterization, HR-Chest CT with angiography, V/Q scan, Sleep study, Blood gas analysis, Lung function test, etc.
• Some determinants of higher risk in pediatric PH include clinical evidence of RV failure, progressive symptoms, presence of syncope, growth failure, severely elevated Serum NT-proBNP (> 1200 pg/ml (>1 yr. old).
• Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) cannot establish a definite diagnosis of PH or determine WHO PH group. PH diagnosed by TTE should be confirmed by catheterization before initiation of targeted PH therapy except in infants with PPHN, BPD and those with high risk. We should rely on a multiparametric approach other than single parameters. Echo or CMR variables that are determinants of high risk include evidence of severe RA/RV enlargement, RV systolic dysfunction, RV/LV end systolic ratio of >1.5, TAPSE ¯¯ (Z-score , -3). Systolic/Diastolic ratio > 1.4 (TR jet ), Pulmonary Artery Acceleration Time PAAT < 70ms and  Pericardial effusion.

 Cardiac catheterization is indicated in all pediatric patients with PH to confirm a diagnosis and determine severity, especially when considering pharmacotherapy except in infants and Low body weight or those presenting critically ill where it can be omitted until more stable. The cardiac catheterization should include Acute Vasoreactivity testing. In children with IPAH/HPAH, the hemodynamic change that defines a positive response to AVT in PH without CV shunt is > 20% fall in mPAP and PVR/SVR ratio without a decrease in CI. Invasive hemodynamics that portend high risk include Cardiac Index < 2.5. mRAP> 15, mPAP/mSAP> 0.75, PVRi> 15 Wu-m

• In centers equipped to perform advanced pediatric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, CMR without anesthesia /sedation is recommended as a part of diagnostic evaluation and follow up to assess changes in ventricular function and chamber dimensions.
• Several Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) associated genes have been identified and genetic testing can allow the definition of PAH etiology, estimation of prognosis and identification of families at risk. Hence genetic counseling by trained personnel before genetic testing is recommended for families with children diagnosed with Idiopathic PAH or Heritable PAH. Children who are asymptomatic PAH mutation carriers, asymptomatic first-degree relatives of patients with HPAH without an associated gene mutation should be screened by serial echocardiograms every 1-3 yrs. for the presence of elevated RV pressure and undergo additional diagnostic evaluation if clinically indicated.
• In patients with PAH associated with congenital heart disease a complete diagnostic workup should be performed to determine whether PAH is associated with or causally related to concomitant CHD. Children with simple shunt defects beyond the typical timing of surgery (> 6 months old ) and with severe cyanosis should undergo comprehensive right and left heart catheterization before any intervention or surgery. Standard management is adopted for PVR1< 6 Wu-m² and PVR/SVR < 0.3. For patients in gray zone PVRi 6-8 Wu -m² – a treat and repair approach is reasonable using PAH targeted pharmacotherapy with 1-2 medications. A shunt defect must not be closed in when PVRi > 8 Wu- m² in children.
• The term and preterm newborn infant with PPHN should receive oxygen, ventilatory support, surfactant with a goal preductal sat of 91-95 %. Inhaled Nitric Oxide is indicated to improve oxygenation and to reduce the need for ECMO if PaO2 < 100 on 100% oxygen or OI index > 25. In the presence of right heart failure preterm and term infants with PPHN should receive PGE infusion to maintain ductal patency in the absence of post tricuspid unrestrictive shunt.
• In the pediatric ICU, oxygen is administered when the SaO2 < 95% in children with PH and normal anatomy. iNO may be considered for postoperative PH treatment in mechanically ventilated patients to improve oxygenation and reduce PHT crises. Concomitant sildenafil should be administered to prevent rebound PH while weaning iNO. Inhaled iloprost can be as effective as iNO in children with postoperative PH.
• The diagnosis and management of PH in middle and low-income regions should be done with specialized centers and endemic diseases should be considered in etiology. Schistosomiasis, Rheumatic heart disease, HIV infection, high altitude, chronic hepatitis, etc. should be considered. Treatment should be based on individual case assessment and PAH targeted medications may help especially when pursued at centers specialized in PH.
• Treatment of PH should be under expert guidance. Supportive therapy with oxygen, Diuretic therapy, anticoagulation should be based on a specific type of PH, CCB should be considered in those patients who are acutely reactive to iNO with or without oxygen. They should be avoided in AVT nonresponders and children with right heart failure regardless of AVT response.

Commentary from Dr. Venugopal Amula (Salt Lake City, UT), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  To provide a specific, comprehensive, detailed and practical framework for the clinical care of children and young adults with Pulmonary Hypertension, the European Pediatric Pulmonary Vascular Disease Network constituted an executive writing group. The executive writing group members conducted a thorough scientific review and generated tables with graded recommendations based on the European Society of Cardiology/ American Heart Association definitions. They included studies with pediatric data only,  adult studies that included> 10% of children or studies that enrolled adults with CHD. Although the majority of recommendations on pediatric PH are based on the level of evidence B or C,  much effort has been made to obtain pediatric data from registries and clinical studies. A summary of such recommendations is provided below.

Take-Home Points:

• Both impaired systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the LV, adverse remodeling with ECM expansion, myocardial atrophy and a reduced mass/volume ratio are seen in asymptomatic (NYHA I) with rTOF.
• These markers of LV systolic dysfunction are associated with reduced peak oxygen consumption during CPET and thus a predictor of poorer outcome in rTOF. 

Commentary from Dr. Blanche Cupido (Cape Town, South Africa), section editor of ACHD Journal Watch:  In patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), pulmonary regurgitation and RV dilatation and function is usually the focus at clinical follow-up. LV dysfunction too has been found to be a predictor of death and sustained ventricular tachycardia in rTOF.  This is a cross-sectional study aiming to assess the prevalence of LV dysfunction in asymptomatic (NYHA I) patients with rTOF and to identify the associations between right heart markers of pathologic remodeling and LV remodeling. Furthermore, in a subset of patients, cardiopulmonary exercise testing was done and the effect of LV remodeling and dysfunction on age-and sex-adjusted peak exercise parameters were assessed.

This was a prospective cross-sectional study at a tertiary center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. One hundred and three consecutive patients with rTOF and NYHA I were enrolled between January 2012 and August 2016. Baseline characteristics are displayed in Table1 below.

Of the 103 patients enrolled with rTOF, 43 were female. Patients were studied at 15.1±8.7 years after surgical repair. Twenty patients had initial shunt implantations, 49% (n=51) had a transannular patch repair. Furthermore, 24% (n=25) had re-operations for mainly PR.   There were no differences in age, weight, height, BSA and blood pressure between patients and healthy controls.

Referring to table 2 above, RV mass index, indexed RV end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes as well as RV mass/volume ratios were significantly higher in rTOF patients compared to healthy controls. In patients with rTOF, LV EF, LV mass index, LV mass/volume ratio and LV/RV mass ratio were markedly reduced compared to healthy controls.  LVEDVi however did not differ between subjects and controls but correlated with RVEDVi (r=0.36, p<0;.001). LA volumes and function were also decreased compared to controls.

Table 3 shows, for each LV parameter, the proportion of patients with rTOF with values falling out of the corresponding age related 95% CI’s. In patients with rTOF, LVEF correlated with RVEF (p=0.41, p<0.001; 95%CI 0.26-0.54) and RV mass/volume ratio (p=0.33, P<0.001). In total, 23% had moderate LVEF impairment (EF 35%-45%) and 41% had mild dysfunction (EF 45-55%), 36% had normal LVEF.

Figure 2 A above shows that LV systolic dysfunction is associated with remodeling of the RV, as per RV mass-to-volume-ratio. This remained significant in a multivariate module. LV systolic dysfunction is also associated with RVESVi.

Figure 4 shows that 28% of all patients with rTOF had LV mass / volume ratio below the age-specific 5^th percentile level in healthy controls.

Figure 4A

Late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was performed in 65 of the cohort. In 95% of these patients, the site was the ventricular septum, 46% showed LGE in the RVOT and 13.8% in other areas of the heart but not the free wall.

Cardiopulmonary testing results (CPET) were available in 70 patients with rTOF. VO₂max was less than the 3^rd centile in 29% of patients.

Take-Home Points:

• There was no significant difference in discrimination between the 3 mortality predictors. However, calibration showed RACHS 1 underpredicted mortality, Aristotle overpredicted mortality and Euro 1 was mis-calibrated. 

 Commentary from Dr. Helen Parry (Leeds UK), section editor of ACHD Journal Watch:

Aim:   To compare RACHS-1, Aristotle and EURO-1 risk scores in predicting in hospital mortality for patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease in adulthood

Methods:  The study was performed retrospectively in a single centre in Spain, looking at operations performed over a 26 year period.   The primary end-point was 30 day mortality, looked at each of the above scores and looked at correlation with mortality.  This was assessed by discrimination (ability to predict death, using the area under the curve) and calibration (accuracy of the prediction).

Results:   Six hundred and eight procedures were performed on adult patients with congenital heart disease.  There was no significant difference in discrimination between the 3 mortality predictors.  However, calibration showed RACHS 1 under predicted mortality, Aristotle over predicted mortality and Euro 1 was mis-calibrated.

Discussion:  The authors suggest that RACHS 1 and Aristotle are superior to Euro 1 in congenital heart disease patients.  RACHS 1 and Aristotle take greater account of the complexity of patients with congenital heart disease e.g. those with genetic disorders.  However, RACHS 1 and Aristotle also look at birth weight and prematurity, which are less relevant in adults relative to paediatrics.

Strengths of the study:

• Large sample size
• Representative case mix including high percentage of re-do sternotomies

Weaknesses of the study:

• Single centre and retrospective
• It would also have been useful to have more details on the mortalities e.g. why did a 32 year old male attending for a PVR die of a myocardial infarction?

 

 

Assessment and Implications of Right Ventricular Afterload in Tetralogy of Fallot.

Egbe AC, Taggart NW, Reddy YNV, Sufian M, Banala K, Vojjini R, Najam M, Osman K, Obokata M, Borlaug BA.

 Take-Home Points:

• High RV pressure after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) adversely affects clinical outcomes.
• Invasively measured right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and TOF with pulmonary atresia are independent risk factor for death and/ or heart transplant.
• Doppler-derived RVSP has good correlation between invasively measured RVSP and is independently predictive of death and / or heart transplant.

 Commentary by Dr. M.C. Leong (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), section editor of ACHD Journal Watch:  In the attempt to preserve the pulmonary valve during surgery, surgeons usually leave patients with residual right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction either at the pulmonary annular or perivalvular level after the repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Often, this is seen as benign as the residual RVOT is usually not high and in fact, may even promote development of restrictive right ventricular physiology which may mitigate progressive right ventricular dilatation. However, if the right ventricular systolic pressure is left high for a chronic period of time, its long term effect onto the right ventricle is unknown.  This paper studied the effect of significant elevated right ventricular afterload, whether it independently affects the clinical outcomes of patients with TOF.

This is a retrospective study, looking at 266 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization during follow up. Of these, 175 (66%) patients had significant RVOT obstruction, which was defined as a peak-to-peak gradient of greater than 36mmHg, on direct measurement. Within this cohort, 212 patients had echocardiography within 48 hours of the cardiac catheterization.

These patients were followed up for 12.9 ± 7.3 years from the time of invasive study. During this period 35 (13%) patients died at a mean age of 49 ± 14 years. Of these, 27 patients had significant RVOT obstruction while 8 patients did not. There was no significant difference in mortality between patients with versus without significant RVOT obstruction. Invasively measured RVSP and TOF-pulmonary atresia were independent risk factors for death and/or heart transplant.

There was a strong correlation between the invasively measured right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and that of echocardiographic Doppler-derived, with a mean difference of +6mmHg suggesting that follow up using echocardiography is accurate yet noninvasive. Doppler-derived RSVP was independently predictive of death and / or transplant.

It is interesting to note that TOF-pulmonary atresia itself was a risk factor for death and heart failure. With increasing attempts of unifocalization of the aorto-pulmonary collaterals and incorporating them into the pulmonary arterial tree as well as total repair when the pulmonary arterial size is less than desired, many patients are left with high RVSP and this paper underscores the effects of having a high RVSP in this group of patients. A caveat to this paper is the fact that patients who undergo invasive investigation are those with poorer hemodynamics and inherently are at a higher risk of death and heart failure. Hence many of these patients are higher risk patients compared to the general TOF population.

Take-Home Points: 

• This was a large two-center study of CHD VT ablation with 5-year follow up data.
• The mechanism of VT in congenital heart disease was primarily scar-related reentry (80%), followed by focal (15%) and non-scar related reentry (5%).
• Scar-related reentry was more commonly seen among patients with TOF vs other CHD anatomies.
• Acute complete procedural success could be achieved in 75% of patients overall, with recurrence in 20% of patients.
• Acute procedural success was strongly associated with ventricular arrhythmia-free survival.

 Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Moore (Los Angeles) Congenital and Pediatric Cardiac EP section editor:  This was a retrospective two-center study of VT catheter ablation outcomes over a 7-year period from 2010 to 2017. Forty-eight patients with variable CHD anatomy were identified, most commonly TOF in 29 (60%), Ebstein’s anomaly in 4 (8%), and bicuspid aortic valve in 4 (8%). Approximately three-quarters had an ICD in place and half had failed antiarrhythmic drugs. Overall, 77 unique VTs were induced, of which approximately half (52%) were hemodynamically stable and could be localized with activation or entrainment mapping. The remainder were identified by pace mapping. The mechanism was scar-related reentry in 81%, non-scar (His-Purkinje)-related reentry in 16%, and focal (mainly outflow tract in 73%) in the remaining 4%. His-Purkinje reentry (4) was seen only observed among patients with Ebstein’s anomaly (2) and TOF (2). Interestingly, the authors noted that VT CL was shorter for patients with preserved RV function versus RV dysfunction (286 ± 7 ms vs 322 ± 18 ms; P = .0246). In addition, TOF patients were more likely to manifest scar-related reentry.

Acute success was achieved in 75% of patients, with recurrent VT in 21% over nearly 5-year follow up. Patients with acute success were less likely to experience recurrent VT (17% vs. 54%, p=0.02). Five of 10 patients with recurrence were taken for a second catheter ablation procedure. In 1 patient, the same anatomical isthmus was targeted; and in 2 others, a separate site was targeted (right coronary cusp in 1 and RBB in 1). The final 2 patients had no inducible VT at repeat catheter ablation and substrate-based ablation was pursued. There were no major complications from catheter ablation. At last follow up, only 8 patients remained on antiarrhythmic drugs.

This study is notable as it is the largest series to date, describing catheter ablation outcomes in mixed CHD cohort with VT. The acute efficacy of 75% with no major complications suggest that this approach is a very reasonable therapeutic modality for affected patients. Similar to a smaller prior description from the Mayo Clinic [Martin et al. Heart Rhythm 2016;13:1449-1454), mechanisms were predominantly scar-related and anatomically based, with a significant number of focal VTs. Although reassuring, the issue of catheter ablation as a substitute for ICD placement was not fully resolved from this interesting experience.

Drug-Eluting Stents Compared With Bare Metal Stents for Stenting the Ductus Arteriosus in Infants With Ductal-Dependent Pulmonary Blood Flow.

Aggarwal V, Dhillon GS, Penny DJ, Gowda ST, Qureshi AM.

Am J Cardiol. 2019 Sep 15;124(6):952-959. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2019.06.014. Epub 2019 Jun 26.

PMID: 31350000

 Take-Home Points:

• Drug eluting coronary artery stents (DES) have been theorized to have a lower incidence of neo-intimal proliferation (compared with bare metal stents) when implanted in the ductus arteriosus.
• DES were found to have significantly less luminal loss and fewer unplanned interventions when compared to BMS.

 Commentary from Dr. Konstantin Averin (Edmonton, Canada), catheterization section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  Stenting of the ductus arteriosus (DA) is rapidly emerging as an equivalent (or superior) option for augmenting pulmonary blood flow in infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow (PBF). Drug eluting coronary artery stents (DES) have been theorized to have a lower incidence of neo-intimal proliferation but data comparing them to bare metal stents (BMS) in this patient population are lacking. The authors sought to compare the safety and efficacy of DES to BMS in neonates undergoing DA stenting for ductal-dependent PBF.

Over a 14 year period (2004-2018) 71 infants with confluent central pulmonary arteries underwent ductal stenting for ductal-dependent PBF (46 BMS and 25 DES) with stent selection being uniform during the study period. The baseline characteristics of the cohort as a whole were unremarkable and were similar between the 2 groups (BMS v DES). Freedom from ≥ 50% luminal loss was significantly higher in the DES group (see Kaplan Meier curve below) with the odds ratio for a 50% loss in luminal diameter (as assessed via a subsequent angiographic evaluation) being 1.6 (95% CI 1.2-2.3) for BMS v DES. Sixteen infants (23%) underwent unplanned re-interventions to treat cyanosis, with a significantly higher percentage in the BMS group (28%) compared to the DES group (12%), p=0.02.

There was no mortality difference between the groups. Given concerns about serum drug levels in infants with DES, the authors compared rates of infection between the 2 groups and found the rate of bacterial infection to be higher in the DES group (8% v 2%) but this did not reach statistical significance.

The authors conclude that luminal loss was significantly less and unplanned interventions less common in patients with DES compared to BMS. While the authors did not measure serum drug levels, even if they had been elevated there do not appear to have been significant clinical sequela related to this (consistent with prior reports). Intuition would suggest that anti-proliferative agents would mitigate neo-intimal proliferation of ductal tissue and this report begins to lend credence to that theory. Given the data presented in this report, providers should strongly consider use of DES (vs BMS) for ductal stenting.

Usefulness of Postnatal Echocardiography in Patients with Down Syndrome with Normal Fetal Echocardiograms.

Take-Home Points: 

• The incidence of significant congenital heart defects(CHD) on postnatal echocardiograms for patients with Down Syndrome (DS) who had a normal fetal echo is nearly zero.
• Minor CHD, if present, will likely have an abnormal exam or EKG finding.
• Delivery at a center without pediatric cardiology availability is likely reasonable.

Commentary from Dr. Jared Hershenson (Greater Washington DC), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch:  A fetal echocardiogram is a class I recommendation if a chromosomal abnormality is present. The AHA currently recommends a postnatal echocardiogram in all patients with DS regardless of a normal fetal echocardiogram. With a new emphasis on appropriate use criteria in pediatric echocardiography, this may be a subgroup that could be further evaluated. The primary and secondary goals of this study was to determine if there was any missed complex CHD and any CHD postnatal echocardiograms after a normal fetal echo in DS patients. This was a retrospective evaluation of 120 total patients with suspected DS; 72 had complex CHD with the most common diagnoses AVSD and VSD. 45 patients had a normal fetal echo and also had a postnatal echo performed. Complex CHD was defined as a diagnosis with RACHS >/= 3.  PFO and PDA were not included as pathologic CHD diagnoses for the purpose of this study. The gestational age at the time of initial fetal echo was 25 +/- 3.5 weeks. The median age at postnatal echo was 7 days, with 24 patients having an echo within the first week of life. No patients had complex CHD; negative predictive value was 100%. 13 patients had minor CHD consisting mostly of ASDs or VSDs; negative predictive value 71.1%.  All of them had a heart murmur or EKG abnormality on evaluation. 1/13 patients died from severe PPHN. 3/13 required intervention (2 caths for PDA closure, 1 primum ASD repair). One other patient has a primum ASD that was still being followed (see table 1).

While fetal echocardiography does not have 100% sensitivity for ruling out CHD, this study adds weight to previous studies that missed complex CHD is very unlikely. At a minimum, in an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy or in a region with many hospitals that do not have direct access to pediatric cardiology, it would seem quite reasonable to deliver patients with a negative fetal echo and refer them to pediatric cardiology within the first few weeks of life. There is unlikely enough evidence to change the postnatal echo recommendations given that there are many minor CHD diagnoses that need to be followed over time; however, the authors do speculate how AUC may be used in this population when adding other historical and clinical factors and an EKG. Limitations of this study include its small sample size and retrospective design, but this study could easily be replicated with a larger cohort.
