The palliation afforded by balloon atrial septostomy to 124 infants with transposition of the great arteries was assessed in terms of survival to 6 months of age without the need for further intervention. Prediction of success or failure in relation to palliation was significantly affected by the presence of associated ventricular septal defect, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, or persistent ductus arteriosus and by the maximum volume of balloon used to perform the septostomy. There was a significant association between balloon volume and size of atrial defect found at subsequent surgery or necropsy.
通过对124例大动脉转位婴儿进行球囊房间隔造口术所提供的姑息治疗，根据在无需进一步干预的情况下存活至6个月龄来进行评估。与姑息治疗相关的成功或失败预测受到合并室间隔缺损、左心室流出道梗阻或动脉导管未闭的存在以及用于进行造口术的球囊最大体积的显著影响。在随后的手术或尸检中发现的球囊体积与房间隔缺损大小之间存在显著关联。
