To review our 12-year experience in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for patent ductus arteriosus.
VATS was performed in 743 patients. Three groups were compared: 24 low-birth-weight infants (LBWIs), 676 children between 2.5-25 kg and 43 boys > 25 kg. A diameter of > 8 mm was the main contraindication. For 85 consecutive patients, hospital stay underwent cost analysis.
Median age was 1.6 years (range 5 days-33 years) and median weight 9.0 kg (range 1.2-65 kg). Mortality was nil. Median operative time was 20 min and hospital stay 2 days. Residual patency at discharge was 0% in LBWIs, 0.7% in children, and 4.7% in boys (P = NS) and 0, 0.3, and 4.7% at follow-up (P = 0.001). Persistent recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction was recorded in 4.2% of LBWIs, 0.3% of children and 0% of boys (P = 0.012). Total mean cost was Euro 5954 +/- 2110.
The success rate of VATS clipping compares favorably with the thoracotomic approach but without chest wall trauma and it may have a very favorable cost-effective therapeutic balance compared to transcatheter techniques.
回顾我们12年来使用电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)治疗动脉导管未闭的经验。
对743例患者进行了VATS手术。比较了三组:24例低体重婴儿(LBWI)、676例体重在2.5 - 25 kg之间的儿童和43例体重>25 kg的男孩。主要禁忌证为直径>8 mm。对连续85例患者的住院情况进行了成本分析。
中位年龄为1.6岁(范围5天至33岁),中位体重9.0 kg(范围1.2至65 kg)。死亡率为零。中位手术时间为20分钟,住院时间为2天。出院时LBWI的残余通畅率为0%,儿童为0.7%,男孩为4.7%(P =无显著性差异),随访时分别为0%、0.3%和4.7%(P = 0.001)。持续性喉返神经功能障碍在LBWI中的发生率为4.2%,儿童为0.3%,男孩为0%(P = 0.012)。总平均费用为5954欧元±2110欧元。
VATS结扎术的成功率与开胸手术相当,但无胸壁创伤,与经导管技术相比,其成本效益治疗平衡可能非常有利。
