Preterm Infants With Congenital Heart Disease and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Postoperative Course and Outcome After Cardiac Surgery

Abstract: BPD has significant implications for children who have CHD and undergo cardiac surgery, leading to prolonged ICU and hospital stays, although most survivors are not O2 dependent. Postoperative mortality was highest among patients with univentricular hearts and severe BPD. Optimal timing of surgery and strategies to improve outcome remains to be delineated.

“…396 Infants with an ASD or a VSD with concomitant chronic lung disease are at an increased risk for the early development of severe PVD and complications after cardiac surgery. 397 The presence of resting cyanosis (oxygen saturation <90%) is worrisome because it predicts risk of elevated PVR and death after closure of the defect. 395 In the EuroHeart survey of adults with CHD, hemodynamics at follow-up were worse in nonoperated patients with ASD than in the patients whose defects had been closed, especially those with moderate or large defects.…”

“…Higher operative mortality rates were also reported for preterm infants undergoing open surgical procedures for congenital heart defects compared with term infants [36]. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) occurs almost exclusively in very preterm infants, and infants with BPD who underwent surgery for congenital heart disease had significantly higher rates of postoperative complications and mortality compared with age and lesionmatched controls [37]. With continual innovations in high-risk obstetrical and neonatal care and the concomitant improving survival of very preterm infants, the number of infants with major congenital malformations who also experience the serious complications associated with prematurity will likely increase in the future.…”

“…In one study of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) who underwent cardiac surgery for repair of CHD, it was shown that 25% of those who died had PAH. [24] Patients with cyanotic CHD, such as transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, and single ventricle with unrestricted pulmonary flow may also develop PAH. Palliative shunt operations for certain cardiac anomalies designed to increase pulmonary flow may also lead to subsequent development of PAH.…”

“…Various developmental lung anomalies are recognized as the etiology of PH, such as surfactant protein deficiencies, lung hypoplasia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, alveolar capillary dysplasia, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis, and pulmonary lymphangiosis. [2428] Recent studies on BPD patients have suggested that abnormalities of the pulmonary vasculature may be a primary rather than secondary cause of abnormal or decreased alveolarization. In addition to high vascular tone barotraumas altered abnormal smooth muscle proliferation has been recognized as a contributing factor in the development of PVD in BPD.…”
