Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
shear force, whilst being small enough to avoid completely obstructing the vessel. As resternotomy cases may be associated with a risk of direct
trauma to the heart and great vessels, cannulae may be placed in alternate sites initially, such as the femoral or subclavian artery to facilitate CPB prior to sternotomy. Congenital cardiac anatomy shows greater inter-patient variability
and arterial cannulation needs to reflect this, such as for the:
a) arterial switch procedure — where distal placement is
necessary to avoid flow being directed away from the arterial branches (Figure 4);

cannula is placed in the pulmonary artery, as the aorta is small
or absent; c) complex aortic arch reconstructions — where two cannulae
may be required to perfuse the upper and lower body, and
account for anatomical anomalies of the epi-aortic branches

Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
11 Describe the principles of venous cannulation for
cardiopulmonary bypass in congenital cardiac surgery
Blood drains by gravity from the patient to the reservoir, secondary to
a siphon effect. Separate cannulae in the IVC and SVC provide optimum drainage
and an empty heart for surgical access. Children provide particular challenges, with drainage more likely to
be compromised as vessels, cannulae and blood volumes are smaller. In addition, the small tubing used to reduce the prime volume also
reduces the gravity siphon drainage and therefore flow. This may require augmentation by controlled vacuum-assisted suction. In resternotomy cases, CPB may need to be initiated via the femoral
route, which may not provide adequate venous return, thereby also requiring vacuum-assisted drainage. Congenital patients may have unusual venous anatomy, such as left
or bilateral SVCs, azygos/hemiazygos continuation of the IVC, necessitating more than two venous cannulae.
12 Describe the principles of venting the heart during
cardiopulmonary bypass
One or more of the suckers on the CPB circuit may be used as a
cardiac vent to:
a) clear the operative field; b) prevent warming the heart — which increases myocardial
oxygen consumption;
c) avoid distending the arrested heart — which increases
ventricular wall tension, increases myocardial metabolic rate and reduces subendocardial perfusion, thereby leaving the myocardium more vulnerable to ischaemic damage;
d) de-air the heart at the completion of the procedure.
Venting is required more frequently than in acquired disease due to
more variable venous anatomy, with the increased likelihood that the heart may not be fully emptied. Blood may return to the heart from the:
a) Thebesian and bronchial veins — which occur in a normal
circulation;

b) pathophysiological systemic-pulmonary shunts — such as
collateral vessels, patent ductus arteriosus; c) abnormal anatomy — such as a persistent left SVC; d) surgically implanted shunts — such as Blalock-Taussig shunt
or Potts shunt; e) coronary sinus — following administration of cardioplegia.
Vents may be sited in the:
a) left ventricle — antegrade via the right superior pulmonary vein
and left atrium, into the ventricle, or retrograde via the aortic
valve if the aorta is opened; b) right ventricle — antegrade.
13 Describe how the required flow rate (cardiac output) is
calculated in adult and paediatric patients
Flow rate in litres per minute (LPM) can be calculated as body
surface area (BSA) multiplied by the desired cardiac index (CI):
363
Flow (LPM) = BSA x CI
Although several calculations are available for BSA utilising height
(H) and weight (W), the most commonly used is the DuBois formula:
BSA = Height (cm) x Weight (kg)
3600
Adults usually require a cardiac index of 2.4, whereas in paediatrics,
a CI of 2.6-2.8 is used due to their higher metabolic rate.
14 Describe the principles of gas exchange in the
cardiopulmonary bypass circuits
Gases diffuse in and out of blood across the micropores in the
oxygenator fibres in accordance with their concentration gradients (Figure 6). Microporous fibres are orientated in such a way that gas flow is
perpendicular (or counter-current) to blood flow, which increases the efficiency of gas transfer.
364
Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
Figure 6. Membrane oxygenator with a hydrophobic membrane that
presents a large surface area for gas exchange.
Fick’s law of diffusion states that the amount of gas that diffuses
increases as concentration gradients increase. Thus, to increase:
a) O2transfer into blood — the concentration of O2in the fibres
is increased via a blender;
b) CO2removal from blood — the rate of gas flow (‘sweep’)
through the fibres is increased.
15 What are the principles of myocardial protection in
patients undergoing surgery for congenital cardiac disease?
It is important to match O2supply with demand of the myocardium to
provide myocardial protection by ensuring:
a) adequate aortic root (driving) pressure; b) minimal ventricular wall tension with an empty ventricle; c) optimal Hct for carriage of O2(high); d) adequate flow (low viscosity) through small coronary vessels.
Myocardial O2demand can be reduced by means of:
a) temperature — with a reduction associated with decreased
metabolic rate;

b) pharmacologically — using cardioplegia to paralyse the
myocardium in a flaccid state by increasing extracellular
potassium concentration, thus blocking contraction and
minimising cellular metabolism (Figure 7).
365
Figure 7. Antegrade crystalloid cardioplegia delivered under pressure,
usually via a roller pump.
Cardioplegia is often mixed with arterial blood, containing O2bound
to haemoglobin, in older children and adults. The ratios vary but 4:1 (blood: cardioplegia) and 1:1 are the most common. In neonates and infants, crystalloid solutions avoid highly viscous
blood failing to perfuse tiny coronary arteries at low temperatures. As any collateral circulation may cause washout of cardioplegia and
compromise myocardial protection, the ECG must be monitored to check for signs of electrical activity at all times. Where there is ventricular hypertrophy, such as in patients with aortic
stenosis, higher doses of cardioplegia may be required.
16 When is cardiac arrest required for congenital cardiac
surgery?
Arresting the heart with cardioplegia represents myocardial
ischaemic time and therefore is only performed when:
366
Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
a) complex surgery is made easier on a still heart; b) surgery is needed on the myocardium of the very young; c) there is a risk of generating systemic air in patients with an
intracardiac shunt, such as an ASD or VSD, access to left­sided structures is required, or when operating on patients with a single ventricle.
The heart may not need to be arrested for:
a) surgery for an extracardiac shunt, such as a Blalock-Taussig
shunt;
b) a right-sided abnormality, such as right ventricular outflow tract
obstruction, provided intracardiac communications have been excluded.
17 What are the principles of myocardial arrest in
congenital cardiac surgery?
Cardioplegic arrest is the mechanism by which depolarisation (with
subsequent prevention of repolarisation) or hyperpolarisation (preventing depolarisation) of the myocyte membrane is obtained in order to stop the release of calcium into the myocellular cytoplasm thus preventing contraction. High-concentration solutions (such as St. Thomas’ solution) that
induce membrane depolarisation by means of:
a) potassium chloride in high concentrations — which alters the
resting membrane potential (-90mV) and ionic gradients. The availability of rapid opening sodium channels is reduced thereby maintaining diastolic arrest. The side effects include vasoconstriction (with consequent variable myocardial delivery) and myocyte calcium loading (with increased repolarisation injury);
b) magnesium — which inhibits myosin phosphorylase,
protecting ATP reserves for post-ischaemic activity, and also reduces vasoconstriction and intracellular calcium loading.
Depleted solutions (such as Bretschneider solution) that induce
membrane hyperpolarisation by means of:
a) sodium depletion — which induces diastolic cardiac arrest by
eliminating the sodium differential across the cell membrane;
b) calcium depletion — which prevents the contractile force from
being generated;

c) lidocaine — which prevents depolarisation by entering the
myocyte and blocking the sodium channels on the cytoplasmic
side of the membrane (local anaesthetic action). Associated
vasodilatation promotes even distribution, thereby overcoming
the coronary vasoconstriction action of potassium; d) adenosine — which is believed to enhance recovery with small
doses.
These solutions may be delivered:
a) antegradely via the aortic root — which requires a competent
aortic valve; b) antegradely directly into coronary vessels — where care must
be taken to avoid causing trauma, especially with small
coronary ostia (Figure 8);

Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
Hypothermia:
a) local hypothermia to the heart (such as using ice or a cooling
jacket) — which reduces phosphate utilisation and decreases basal O2consumption by approximately 50% for every 10°C drop;
b) systemic cooling — which decreases the heat delivered to the
heart by blood returning via: i) normal body drainage — via the venae cavae (congenital
patients may have an additional persistent left SVC);
ii) normal heart drainage — via the coronary sinus and
Thebesian veins;
iii) lungs — via bronchial veins or anomalous pulmonary
venous drainage;
iv) collateral vessels — which may require active venting, if
significant.
Hypothermic fibrillation — which provides a still field for surgery
using systemic hypothermia (<24°C), at which temperature the heart fibrillates. If the systemic pressure is maintained >70mmHg, the myocardium remains perfused by blood passing antegradely through coronary vessels, potentially providing protection for an hour or more. It is useful (and commonly reported) in patients undergoing redo surgery where the risk of injury to the coronary arteries must be avoided. Problems, however, may occur with:
a) impaired coronary flow — if the fibrillating myocardium
compresses the coronary arteries;
b) incompetent aortic valve — which may cause ventricular
distension and coronary malperfusion.
Cross-clamp fibrillation — which involves:
a) the heart electrically fibrillated, thus reducing the myocardial
load, although it does induce global ischaemia and anoxic arrest;
b) hypothermia (32-34°C), to reduce myocyte O2demand and
improve myocardial protection;
c) decompression of the ventricles by intermittently using a cross-
clamp applied to the aorta, to avoid distension;
d) limiting each fibrillating episode to 10-15 minutes, with at least
3-4 minutes of coronary reperfusion time required between clamping periods.

18 What are the important complications of
cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with congenital cardiac disease?
In this patient population, the immature organs are more vulnerable
to damage from CPB. The foetal lungs have a high pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)
that progressively drops during the first few weeks of life. The use of CPB in neonates, particularly those with a persistently high PVR, increases the incidence of lung injury and further dysfunction, from both inflammation (secondary to surface contact with the circuit) and ischaemia-reperfusion injury (following periods of inadequate flow). Neurological complications, including cerebrovascular accident,
seizures, intracranial haemorrhage, and delayed choreoathetoid syndrome have been described. The use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) increases
the risk of complications, including major gastrointestinal complications, such as necrotising enterocolitis, perforation and bowel ischaemia. Patients with cyanosis or a hypertrophied myocardium are
particularly challenging to protect and more sensitive to ischaemic­reperfusion injury. Acute kidney injury is common in children following CPB.
Chronic hypoxia and high blood viscosity in older, severely cyanotic
patients may further impact organ function. Surgery in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is
associated with a higher morbidity compared to patients with acquired cardiac disease, as these patients have:
369
a) an increased risk of catastrophic surgical bleeding during redo
procedures; b) pre-existing coagulopathy, often due to varying degrees of liver
failure and exacerbated by dilution of clotting factors and
platelets during CPB, thereby increasing the risk of
haemorrhage; c) concurrent renal abnormalities, caused by repeated CPB and
chronic hypoxia, which may further increase the risk of acute
kidney injury (AKI) and long-term damage.
Pre-existing abnormalities make it difficult to attribute these solely to
CPB, but hypoxia, temperature-related cerebral flow changes and embolism are potential mechanisms of damage.
