| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Heterotaxy syndrome (HS) is generally associated with complex congenital cardiac defects and has a high morbidity and mortality despite recent surgical progress. Only few reports deal with an overall surgical population. METHODS: Between 1989 and 2008, 139 patients with HS entered a programme of surgical repair. Fifty-one patients were suitable for univentricular heart repair (UVR) and 88 for biventricular repair (BVR). Among those tracked for UVR, two were switched to BVR and 11 from BVR to UVR. Median age at first surgery was 4.4 months (range: 3 days to 43 years] of whom 34 were neonates. The mean number of surgical procedure per patient was 1.99. Primary BVR was performed in 37 patients. Re-operation was required in 22 patients, 15 after BVR and seven after UVR (p>0.05). RESULTS: The overall mortality was 20.8%. It was 7.2% after the first surgery, 6.6% after the second and 11.5% after the third. The overall mortality in patients with univentricular physiology was 25.5% and 18.2% in the biventricular group (p<0.05). According to the surgical track, in the UVR group, mortality was 18% and 15.6% in the BVR group (p=NS). This rate was 40% in patients with long-lasting palliation (p<0.05 vs both other groups). Median follow-up was 127 months (range: 1 month to 19 years). The overall survival rate at 15 years was 70.6%. When considering ventricular anatomy, survival rates at 15 years were 69% for the univentricular group and 74.2% for the biventricular group (p>0.05). According to the type of surgical approach, at 15 years they were 85.1% for UVR and 77% for BVR (p=NS). For the palliation group, it was 15% only at 15 years (p<0.05 vs both other groups). Risk factors for overall mortality were neonatal surgery, long-standing palliation, total anomalous pulmonary vein return (TAPVR) and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO). At the last visit, all survivors were in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I to II and only two presented with supraventricular arrhythmias. CONCLUSIONS: HS remains a difficult situation with high morbidity and mortality. An aggressive approach to repair TAPVR when present should be considered. Early decision to track the patient in either uni- or biventricular repair programme should avoid long-lasting deleterious palliation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
