Abstract:: OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to prove if pulmonary artery (PA) size influences survival and if an additional aortopulmonary shunt (APS) promotes left PA growth after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. METHODS: The medical records of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who underwent Norwood procedure and BCPS between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed. Right, left and total (right + left) PA indices were calculated according to Nakata and colleagues. RESULTS: A total of 158 patients were included in this study. The median age at Norwood and BCPS was 8 (7-11) days and 3.6 (3.1-4.6) months, respectively. There were 7 hospital deaths and 12 late deaths. Survival after BCPS was 90.3% at 1 year and 86.2% at 2 years. Total, right and left PA indices were 238 (195-316), 136 (101-185) and 102 (75-130) mm2/m2 at the time of BCPS, and they were 237 (198-284), 151 (123-186) and 86 (69-108) mm2/m2 at the time of Fontan. Left PA index decreased significantly between the time of BCPS and Fontan (P < 0.01). Nine patients needed partial takedown and additional APS due to failing BCPS, but the additional APS did not promote the PA growth significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative PA index did not affect the mortality after BCPS. The partial takedown and additional APS for failing BCPS were unable to improve left PA size.
