Comparison of bare metal stenting and percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation for treatment of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction: use of an x-ray/magnetic resonance hybrid laboratory for acute physiological assessment.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Treatment of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is possible with a bare metal stent (BMS), although this treatment causes pulmonary regurgitation. In this study, we assessed the acute physiological effects of BMS versus percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) using an x-ray/magnetic resonance hybrid laboratory. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen consecutive children (median age, 12.9 years) with significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction underwent BMS followed by PPVI. Magnetic resonance imaging (ventricular volumes and function and great vessel blood flow) and hemodynamic assessment (invasive pressure measurements) were performed before BMS, after BMS, and after PPVI; all were performed under general anesthesia in an x-ray/magnetic resonance hybrid laboratory. BMS significantly reduced the ratio of right ventricular to systemic pressure (0.75+/-0.17% versus 0.41+/-0.14%; P<0.001) with no further change after PPVI (0.42+/-0.11; P=1.0). However, BMS resulted in free pulmonary regurgitation (21.3+/-10.7% versus 41.4+/-7.5%; P<0.001), which was nearly abolished after PPVI (3.6+/-5.6%; P<0.001). Effective right ventricular stroke volume (right ventricular stroke volume minus pulmonary regurgitant volume) after BMS remained unchanged (33.8+/-7.3 versus 32.6+/-8.7 mL/m2; P=1.0) but was significantly increased after revalvulation with PPVI (41.0+/-8.0 mL/m2; P=0.004). These improvements after PPVI were accompanied by a significant heart rate reduction (75.5+/-17.7 bpm after BMS versus 69.0+/-16.9 bpm after PPVI; P=0.006) at maintained cardiac output (2.5+/-0.5 versus 2.4+/-0.5 versus 2.7+/-0.5 mL x min(-1) x m(-2); P=0.14). CONCLUSIONS Using an x-ray/magnetic resonance hybrid laboratory, we have demonstrated the superior acute hemodynamic effects of PPVI over BMS in patients with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation
Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is a frequent sequelae after repair of tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, truncus arteriosus, Rastelli and Ross operation. Due to patient growth and conduit degeneration, these conduits have to be changed frequently due to regurgitation or stenosis. However, morbidity is significant in these repeated operations. To prolong conduit longevity, bare-metal stenting...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to identify sub-groups of right ventricular outflow tract morphology that would be suitable for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation and to document their prevalence in our patient population.

متن کاملDifferences in pulmonary flow patterns between surgical and percutaneous implanted bovine valves to restore the right ventricle outflow tract continuity: a four dimensional flow magnetic resonance study
Background In patients with congenital heart defects, restoration of the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) continuity by surgical or percutaneous bovine valve implantation is a common procedure. Flow characteristics in such valves are complex, therefore the aim of this study was demonstrating the potential application of 4D MRI flow for the comprehensive assessment of pulmonary flow patterns...
