- Translation and Validation of the Boston Technical Performance Score in a Developing Country(2021) MIANA, Leonardo A.; NATHAN, Meena; TENORIO, Davi Freitas; MANUEL, Valdano; GUERREIRO, Gustavo; FERNANDES, Natalia; CAMPOS, Carolina Vieira de; V, Paula Gaiolla; CASSAR, Renata Sa; TURQUETTO, Aida; AMATO, Luciana; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; DARODA, Larissa Leitao; JATENE, Marcelo Biscegli; JATENE, Fabio B.Introduction: The Technical Performance Score (TPS) was developed and subsequently refined at the Boston Children's Hospital. Our objective was to translate and validate its application in a developing country. Methods: The score was translated into the Portuguese language and approved by the TPS authors. Subsequently, we studied 1,030 surgeries from June 2018 to October 2020. TPS could not be assigned in 58 surgeries, and these were excluded. Surgical risk score was evaluated using Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery (or RACHS-1). The impact of TPS on outcomes was studied using multivariable linear and logistic regression adjusting for important perioperative covariates. Results: Median age and weight were 2.2 (interquartile range [IQR] = 0.5-13) years and 10.8 (IQR = 5.6-40) kilograms, respectively. In-hospital mortality was 6.58% (n=64), and postoperative complications occurred in 19.7% (n=192) of the cases. TPS was categorized as 1 in 359 cases (37%), 2 in 464 (47.7%), and 3 in 149 (15.3%). Multivariable analysis identified TPS class 3 as a predictor of longer hospital stay (coefficient: 6.6; standard error: 2.2; P=0.003), higher number of complications (odds ratio [OR]: 1.84; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1-3; P=0.01), and higher mortality (OR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.4-7; P=0.004). Conclusion: TPS translated into the Portuguese language was validated and showed to be able to predict higher mortality, complication rate, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay in a high-volume Latin-American congenital heart surgery program. TPS is generalizable and can be used as an outcome assessment tool in resource diverse settings.
- Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Congenital Heart Surgery: What Is Known and What Is New?(2022) MANUEL, Valdano; MIANA, Leonardo A.; JATENE, Marcelo B.Operative mortality after repair of congenital heart disease has improved dramatically over the past few decades. Nevertheless, there is always room for the additional mitigation of complications and mortality. Being able to anticipate adverse outcomes is clearly important, especially when using low-cost and easily accessible resources. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is defined as the ratio of the absolute neutrophil to lymphocyte count, which can be easily measured using a regular white blood cell count. Recently, preoperative NLR has been shown to be a predictor of outcomes in patients undergoing congenital heart surgery. Although it presented promising results, there are still many gaps to be filled like the normal value for children, the ideal cutoff value to predict adverse outcomes, the wide variation and its correlation with other biomarkers, and if it is a modifiable risk factor. The aim of this review is to understand the prognostic value of preoperative NLR as a biomarker predictor of outcomes in patients undergoing congenital heart surgery based on previous clinical studies and to propose future directions in order to solve the above-mentioned questions.
- Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic in a Pediatric and Congenital Cardiovascular Surgery Program in Brazil(2021) MIANA, Leonardo A.; MANUEL, Valdano; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; STRABELLI, Tania Mara Varejao; ARITA, Elisandra Trevisan; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; JATENE, Marcelo Biscegli; JATENE, Fabio B.Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has negatively impacted healthcare services worldwide. We hypothesized that the pandemic would affect our case mix and mortality. Our objective was to study this impact. Methods: We retrospectively studied all patients who underwent congenital heart surgeries from March 21st to August 21st in 2019 and 2020 using the institutional electronic database. We compared demographic data, preoperative and postoperative length of stay (LOS), risk stratification using Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS) classification and outcomes in both periods. Results: We observed a 66.7% decrease in our surgical volume (285 x 95 patients). Patients operated in the pre-pandemic period were older (911.3 [174.8 - 5953.8] days-old) compared to the pandemic period (275 days-old; P<0.05). When the case mix was compared between periods, the percentage of neonatal surgery was increased in the pandemic era (8% x 21.1%; P<0.05), and the number of RACHS 1-2 surgeries decreased significantly (60.7 x 27.4%; P<0.05). Preoperative LOS was increased in the pandemic period (1.2 x 7 days; P=0.001). There was no significant increment in mortality (P=0.1). Two patients tested positive for COVID-19 in the postoperative period and both died. Conclusion: Our program observed a sudden decrease in surgical volume and a consequent increase in surgical complexity. There was a non-significant increment in mortality.
- COVID-19 pandemic implications in paediatric and congenital heart surgery in Brazil(2022) MIANA, Leonardo A.; MANUEL, Valdano; ANTONIALI, Fernando; JATENE, Marcelo B.; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliIntroduction: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic negatively impacted global healthcare. Consequences in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery programmes and mortality of congenital heart patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-Cov-2) is still to be determined. Objective: To study the COVID-19 pandemic implications in Brazilian Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery programmes. Methods: We conducted a national online survey covering all states that perform Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery from 10 November to 22 November, 2020, using a Google forms questionnaire. We formulated questions related to impact on surgical volume, case-mix, and mortality. Then we asked about short-term post-operative COVID-19 infection and outcomes. Results: We received responses from 46 centres representing all states where there were a Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery programme and all high-volume centres across the country. All but one centre experienced a significant decrease in surgical volume, and 23.9% of the responders revealed less than one-quarter of volume decrement. On the other hand, in over 70% of the centres, there was a significant surgical volume reduction. In addition to this, there was a shift in case-mix in 41 centres (89.1%) towards more complex cases. More than one-third of the responders revealed increased mortality in 2020 compared to previous years, and 43.5% of the programmes (20 centres) had at least one patient contaminated by SARS-Cov-2, accounting for 48 patients. Mortality in post-operative infected patients was 45.8% (22 patients). Conclusions: In general, Brazilian Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery programmes were severely affected by decreased surgical volume, unbalanced case-mix towards more complex cases, and increased mortality. Almost half of the programmes related post-operative COVID-19 contamination with high mortality.
- Preoperative Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio Can Predict Outcomes for Patients Undergoing Tetralogy of Fallot Repair(2021) MANUEL, Valdano; MIANA, Leonardo A.; GUERREIRO, Gustavo Pampolha; TURQUETTO, Aida; SANTOS, Romullo Medeiros; FERNANDES, Natalia; TENORIO, Davi Freitas; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; JATENE, Fabio B.; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliIntroduction: Elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with poorer outcomes in cyanotic patients undergoing single ventricle palliation. Little is known about this biomarker on patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Our objective is to study the impact of preoperative NLR on outcomes of TOF patients undergoing total repair. Methods: This retrospective study included 116 consecutive patients between January 2014 and December 2018. Preoperative NLR was measured from the last complete blood count test before the surgery. Using the cutoff value of 0.80, according to the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the sample was divided into two groups (NLR < 0.80 and >= 0.80). The primary endpoint was hospital length of stay (LOS). Results: ROC curves showed that higher preoperative NLR was associated with longer hospital LOS, with an area under the curve of 0.801 +/- 0.040 (95% confidence interval 0.722 - 0.879; P<0.001). High preoperative NLR was also associated with long intensive care unit (ICU) LOS (P=0.035). Preoperative NLR predicted longer hospital LOS with a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 81.4%. Conclusion: Higher preoperative NLR was associated with long ICU and hospital LOS in patients undergoing TOF repair.

- Single Ventricle Palliation in a Developing Sub-Saharan African Country: What Should be Improved?(2019) MANUEL, Valdano; MORAIS, Humberto; TURQUETTO, Aida L. R.; MIGUEL, Gade; MIANA, Leonardo A.; PEDRO, Albino; NUNES, Maria A. S.; LEON, Gilberto; MAGALHAES, Manuel Pedro; MARTINS, Telmo; JUNIOR, Antonio P. F.Introduction: Single ventricle physiology management is challenging, especially in low-income countries Objective: To report the palliation outcomes of single ventricle patients in a developing African country. Methods: We retrospectively studied 83 consecutive patients subjected to single ventricle palliation in a single center between March 2011 and December 2017. Preoperative data, surgical factors, postoperative results, and survival outcomes were analyzed. The patients were divided by palliation stage: I (pulmonary artery banding [PAB] or Blalock-Taussig shunt [BTS]), II (Glenn procedure), or III (Fontan procedure). Results: Of the 83 patients who underwent palliation (stages I-III), 38 deaths were observed (31 after stage I, six after stage II, and one after stage III) for an overall mortality of 45.7%. The main causes of operative mortality were multiple organ dysfunction due to sepsis, shunt occlusion, and cardiogenic shock. Twenty-eight survivors were lost to follow-up (22 after stage I, six after stage II). Thirteen stage II survivors are still waiting for stage III. The mean follow-up was 366 369 days. Five-year survival was 28.4 % for PAB and 30.1% for BTS, while that for stage II and III was 49.8% and 57.1%, respectively. Age (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval: 0.47-0.7; P = .000) and weight at surgery (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% confidence interval: 0.31-0.64; P = .002) impacted survival. Conclusion: A high-mortality rate was observed in this initial experience, mainly in stage I patients. A large number of patients were lost to follow-up. A task force to improve outcomes is urgently required.
- The role of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio for pre-operative risk stratification of acute kidney injury after tetralogy of Fallot repair(2021) MANUEL, Valdano; MIANA, Leonardo A.; TURQUETTO, Aida; GUERREIRO, Gustavo Pampolha; FERNANDES, Natalia; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliIntroduction: Acute kidney injury is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease and mortality after congenital heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is an inexpensive and easy to measure biomarker for predicting outcomes in children with congenital heart disease undergoing surgical correction. Objective: To identify children at high risk of acute kidney injury after tetralogy of Fallot repair using the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio. Methods: This single-centre retrospective analysis included consecutive patients aged < 18 years who underwent tetralogy of Fallot repair between January 2014 and December 2018. The pre-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was measured using the last pre-operative complete blood count test. We used the Acute Kidney Injury Network definition. Results: A total of 116 patients were included, of whom 39 (33.6%) presented with acute kidney injury: 20 (51.3%) had grade I acute kidney injury, nine had grade II acute kidney injury (23.1%), and 10 (25.6%) had grade III acute kidney injury. A high pre-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was associated with grade III acute kidney injury in the post-operative period (p = 0.04). Patients with acute kidney injury had longer mechanical ventilation time (p = 0.023), intensive care unit stay (p < 0.001), and hospital length of stay (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the pre-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio can be used to identify patients at risk of developing grade III acute kidney injury after tetralogy of Fallot repair.
- Y-shaped Bifurcated Graft to Pulmonary Arteries After Arterial Switch Operation(2021) MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; MANUEL, Valdano; MOREIRA, Valeria Melo; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliPulmonary artery stenosis is a frequent complication after arterial switch operation. This case study presented a complex pulmonary artery stenosis initially treated with bilateral pulmonary artery stenting. The patient was found to have aortic valve endocarditis and recurrent pulmonary artery stenosis. The aortic valve was replaced and the pulmonary valve was repaired, followed by interposition of a Y-shaped graft from the sinotubular junction to both pulmonary arteries. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home asymptomatic after endocarditis antibacterial treatment.
