A 3-year-old boy suffered severe heart failure 2 months after ventricular septal defect repair. The cardiothoracic ratio was 67% and the ejection fraction 13%. Echocardiography showed a dilated left ventricle and thin myocardium. After thorough study, we made a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy. Because conventional therapy was unsuccessful, we conducted partial left ventriculectomy with Alfieri repair of the mitral valve. The postoperative cardiothoracic ratio was 57% at 1 year of follow-up and the ejection fraction 40%. The New York Heart Association functional class improved from IV to I. In conclusion, the role of partial left ventriculectomy is both as a bridge to transplantation and as a definitive repair in dilated cardiomyopathy during childhood.
一名3岁男孩在室间隔缺损修复术后2个月出现严重心力衰竭。心胸比率为67%,射血分数为13%。超声心动图显示左心室扩张,心肌变薄。经过全面检查,我们诊断为扩张型心肌病。由于传统治疗方法未成功,我们进行了部分左心室切除术并采用阿尔菲里二尖瓣修复术。随访1年时,术后心胸比率为57%,射血分数为40%。纽约心脏协会心功能分级从IV级改善到I级。总之,部分左心室切除术在儿童扩张型心肌病中既作为移植的桥梁,也作为确定性修复方法。
