The Myths, Perils, and Pitfalls of Redo Pediatric Cardiac Surgery : The New Normal in Developing Countries Such as India
Copyright © 2024, Bhende et al..
Pediatric patients undergoing reoperative cardiac surgery after a previous sternotomy face a higher degree of surgical complexity compared to those undergoing initial procedures. They have higher intraoperative and postoperative risks. The increased risk of surgery is due to preoperative patient factors and intraoperative technical challenges. Redo-pediatric cardiac surgery is a common event in almost every pediatric cardiac surgeon's professional life. Redo-surgery is almost inevitable in patients who have multi-stage repair of congenital heart surgeries and biological valves at a young age, and often in those having valve repair in rheumatic disease. So, being familiar with the pitfalls and precautions to be taken is of crucial importance. In general, the patients presenting for repeat procedures are sicker, older, and have more comorbid conditions. The dissection is always rendered difficult by adhesions, scarring, and previous graft placements. Hence, prolonged dissection time, intraoperative injuries to heart chambers, great vessels, and grafts, increased bleeding, and poorer cardiac function result in higher morbidity and mortality in such subsets of patients. The outcome is worse with emergency redo-cardiac surgeries.
