About this study

Official title: Outcomes of Transposition of the Great Arteries After Arterial Switch Operation: a Dual-center Study

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex cyanotic congenital heart disease and patients suffer from a high mortality rate within one year of age without appropriate management. The therapeutic effect of arterial switch operation (ASO) is satisfactory with low surgery mortality of 2-5%, and thus, has become the treatment of choice for surgical correction of d-TGA. Outcomes of ASO in TGA in china are rare. This is a retrospective study reporting the outcomes of ASO in TGA.

Read the detailed description

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) is a relatively rare congenital heart disease and surgical treatment in China was developed in recent 20 years. The outcomes of arterial switch operation (ASO) in TGA in China have not been reported before. This study was designed to offer the experience of surgical treatment of TGA in two major pediatric heart centers affiliated in national children's medical center in China. In this retrospective study, a total of 1281 patients diagnosed with TGA received ASO treatment in Fudan Children's Hospital and Shanghai Children's Medical Center were recruited. Medical records and follow-up data of patients were complete. Patient characteristics and clinical data were obtained through review of the medical records, preoperative echocardiography and cardiac catheterization data, operative notes, and follow up reports. Description of the anatomy was confirmed on the preoperative echocardiogram, with clarification from the operative note as needed. Anatomy of the coronary arteries were collected based on the surgical notes. Perioperative data included aorta cross clamping time, cardiopulmonary bypass time and the application of Lecompete maneuver.

Early postoperative complications are defined as delayed sternal closure, active bleeding after surgery, pulmonary artery stenosis, coronary artery re-transplantation, residual ventricular septal defect with significant shunt, atrioventricular block, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, cardiac arrest, necrotizing enterocolitis and diaphragmatic eventration. Hospital death was defined as death occurred before discharge.

Follow-up results included echocardiography, cardiac CTA, cardiac catheterization, and angiography. Echocardiographic assessment included color, continuous wave, and pulse wave Doppler date for all valves. Peak pressure gradient of 20mmHg was considered to be stenotic for neoaortic and pulmonary valve. Redo-procedure was defined as any kind of cardiovascular intervention after the ASO procedure including surgery or catheter-based procedure. The indication for reintervention of pulmonary or suprapulmonary stenosis was peak pressure gradient over 40mmHg. Pressure gradient across the LVOT or aortic valve over 50 mmHg was the indication for reintervention. Late death was defined as death occurred during follow up.

Relationships between preoperative and perioperative factors and hospital mortality were evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The arterial switch operationProcedure or surgery

    The ASO is a procedure that emerged as an anatomically as well as physiologically appropriate solution to the transposition of the great arteries. The aorta and pulmonary artery are detached from their native roots and reattached to the opposite root; thus, the pulmonary root becomes the neo-aorta, and the aortic root becomes the neo-pulmonary artery.

    The coronary arteries are transplanted from the aorta/neo-pulmonary artery to the pulmonary artery/neo-aorta.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. hospital mortality

    death occurred within the hospital

    Measured: within 1 month after ASO

  2. late death

    death occurred after discharge

    Measured: after 1 month after ASO

  3. redo operation

    reintervention after the ASO procedure

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transposition of Great Vessels and Outcome, Fatal, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hospital mortality (time frame: within 1 month after ASO). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2021.
