1 Growth after Surgical Repair of Simple D-Transposition of the Great Arteries Robert J. Levy, M.D., Amnon Rosenthal, and Alexander S. Nadas, M.D. M.D., Aldo R. Castaneda, M.D., ABSTRACT The effect of the Mustard procedure on growth was assessed in 45 patients with simple D-transposition of the great arteries (DTGA) surviving for at least one year after operation. Growth failure (below the third percentile for height, weight, or both) was found in 25 of the 45 patients preoperatively and in 8 patients postoperatively. The principal factors associated with poor growth before repair were advancing age, increased pulmonary and systemic flow, and subpulmonic stenosis. In those patients without postoperative growth failure, growth had returned to the normal range within two years. All patients with retarded growth after the Mustard procedure had had preoperative growth failure as well. In addition, all 8 patients with postoperative growth failure had one or more major residual hernodynamic abnormalities, whereas residual lesions were present in only 10 of the 37 patients with normal postoperative growth. Simple transposition or D-transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum (DTGA) is a severe cardiac malformation that results in poor somatic growth [7, 14, 151. The uniformly severe hypoxemia and increased pulmonary blood flow in DTGA 3,191 are probably the major factors responsible for the growth disturbance. Apparently the subnormal height and weight status in these patients is not influenced by intrauterine growth retardation since the birth From the Departments of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery, The Children s Hospital Medical Center, and the Departments of Pediatrics and Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

Accepted for publication Sept 6, Address reprint requests to Dr. Levy, Department of Cardiology, The Children s Hospital Medical Center, 300 Longwood Ave, Boston, MA weight distribution in this group is normal [12]. Similarly, accompanying congenital malformations likely to impair growth are infrequently associated with DTGA [8]. Successful surgical repair of the cardiac lesion with the Mustard procedure results in normal hemodynamics [3, 171, and preliminary reports suggest that growth may also improve after repair 17, 141. The purpose of the present study was to determine the growth pattern in patients with DTGA before and after the Mustard procedure. Specifically, we addressed ourselves to the following questions: (1) How does the postnatal growth status of patients with DTGA prior to repair differ from the normal pattern? (2) Is there improvement in growth status after the Mustard operation, and over what period of time does it occur? (3) What are the relevant factors that influence growth before and after surgical repair? Methods The records of all patients followed at The Children s Hospital Medical Center, Boston, with the diagnosis of simple DTGA were reviewed. Children who had survived the Mustard operation to at least one-year follow-up were selected and their growth with respect to height and weight was analyzed. Head and chest measurements were not available. Relevant clinical, laboratory, and physiological data were reviewed. All patients had undergone preoperative cardiac catheterization and 33 of the 45 had postoperative catheterization. The 12 patients without postoperative cardiac catheterization were clinically thought to have excellent repairs. All patients had had balloon atrial septostomy or surgical septectomy prior to the Mustard operation. Eight of them had associated subpulmonic stenosis (systolic gradient 2 50 mm Hg). The growth status of the patients with DTGA was assessed by utilizing the Stuart and Reed [20] growth charts from the Children s Hospital Medical Center, Boston. For the purposes of the by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
2 226 The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Vol 25 No 3 March 1978 present study, growth failure was defined to be height, weight, or both below the third percentile for chronological age. The data were analyzed according to the chisquare statistic with the Yates correction when indicated. Group t testing was used to compare categories whenever appropriate. HEIGHT 0 Pro-op Post-op N.45 Results Forty-five patients with DTGA were studied (Table 1). The mean birth weight of the study population was 3.25 kg (range, 2.3 to 3.9 kg). None of the patients had extracardiac anomalies. PREOPERATIVE GROWTH STATUS. The study population had markedly impaired growth for both height and weight (Fig 1, Table 1). Growth failure was present in 25 of the 45 patients (55%) prior to the Mustard operation ( p < 0.001). Ten of these 25 patients were below the third percentile for both height and weight, 10 were below that percentile for weight only, and 5 were below it for height alone. POSTOPERATIVE GROWTH STATUS. Height and weight for the patients with DTGA had improved significantly as of the latest postoperative follow-up (Table 1, Fig 2). All 37 patients without delayed growth at the latest follow-up had returned to a normal distribution about the median within two years after repair (Fig 2). Among these 37 patients the catch-up in growth was even more striking in the 17 patients with preoperative growth failure evaluated at one year. Of these 17,16 (43% of the37) had achieved a normal growth pattern (Fig 2). PERCENTILE Fig 1, Height and weight according to percentile range for 45 patients with simple transposition before and after Mustard repair. After operation, height status improved significantly (x2 = 9.5; p < 0.01) as did weight status (xz = 29.2; p <O.OOZ). Eight patients had persistent postoperative growth failure; 4 of these were below the third percentile for height and weight and 4 were below the third percentile for weight alone.

All 8 patients with postoperative growth failure had had subnormal growth preoperatively, and in addition, as a group they underwent the Mustard operation at a significantly older mean age (3.2 versus 1.7 years; p = 0.01). The 8 patients with persistent growth failure after the Mustard operation all had major residual lesions (Table 3). The incidence of specific residual lesions was significantly higher in patients with than in those without postoperative growth failure (x2 = 10.8; p < 0.001). < 3rd PERCENTILE Fig 2.

Catch-up growth, for both height and weight, was achieved within two years after repair. tors associated with preoperative growth retardation were age, subpulmonic stenosis, and increased pulmonary and systemic flow. The effect of advancing age on preoperative growth failure in patients with DTGA is shown in Figure 3. There was marked deterioration with time. Weight initially was more severely affected than height, but by 3 years of age the discrepancy was no longer evident. Preoperative growth failure was significantly related to increased pulmonary and systemic blood flow (Table 2). In addition, 7 of the 8 patients with subpulmonic stenosis had preoperative growth failure; this represented a significantly greater incidence than occurred in the rest of the patients (x* = 9.1; p < 0.001). The weight status of patients managed by atrial septectomy or Mustard operation using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass was relatively poorer preoperatively, reflecting significantly older age at repair (p < 0.001). There were no important physiological differences related to type of palliation or choice of repair. Comment The study indicates that patients with DTGA and normal antenatal growth develop subnormal growth in the postnatal period that deteriorates with advancing age. Delayed growth is associated with increased pulmonary and systemic flow, usually manifested clinically by congestive heart failure. It is unrelated to the severity of arterial desaturation. Surgical repair with the Mustard operation results in return to normal grqwth within one to two years unless major residual lesions are present. The few previous reports ongrowth of patients with DTGA [7,14,15] are inconclusive because of the small size of the populations studied [q, grouping together of simple and complex lesions [7,14,15], or lack of information on postoperative results [15] or postoperative hemodynamic assessment [7]. Mehrizi and Drash [15] studied the height and weight of 83 patients with transposition, including complex cases as well as patients with intact ventricular septum. They found 62 (75%) to be below the sixteenth percentile for height and 65 (79%) below that percentile for weight. The operative status of these patients and factors responsible for the delayed growth were not assessed. Feldt and associates [7] reported on 9 postoperative patients with transposition who improved in mean weight from -2.1 to -1.5 standard deviations (SD) and in mean height from -2.3 to -1.3 SD. Mair and colleagues [14] reported accelerated growth after operation in patients with transposition. Postoperatively, 45 of 49 patients (92%) were in "excellent or good' physical condition. Detailed growth status and factors affecting growth were

SVC = superior vena cava. defect [16] and patent ductus arteriosus [lo, 241, but attempts to establish the physiological basis for these observations have been inconclusive [9, 11, 221. The response to repair in the present study suggests that successful physiological correction of the cardiovascular hemodynamics improves retarded growth and therefore implies that marked growth impairment is caused by increased pulmonary flow and failure. Interestingly, preoperative growth disturbance in the patients with DTGA was not directly related to the severity of cyanosis. The mean systemic oxygen saturations measured in patients who had preoperative growth failure and those who did not were virtually identical. Similarly, Linde and co-workers [13] found poor growth to be associated with the presence rather than the degree of cyanosis. In adolescent cyanotic patients, systemic oxygen saturation has been shown to correlate with delayed bone age [25]. The absence of a relationship between stature and systemic oxygen saturation in our patients is not surprising because none were adolescents. Subpulmonic stenosis was strongly associated with preoperative growth failure and was the most common residual lesion in the group with continuing growth failure after the Mustard operation. The mechanisms by which subpulmonic stenosis and certain other residual lesions contribute to postoperative growth failure in the study patients have not been well established. Valvular pulmonic stenosis has been observed in association with delayed growth [15], and so has complete heart block [211, found in several patients after the Mustard repair. Similarly, no clear mechanism is known for an adverse growth effect of the sick sinus syndrome or vena caval obstruction, but anorexia probably plays a part in causing growth failure in these conditions [l]. Sex, repair by hypothennic circulatory arrest, and type of surgical palliation had no measurable influence on growth in our study. Investigations of patients with other congenital cardiac lesions have shown growth to be more severely affected in males than in females [2, 13, 15, 231. Clearly this is not the case in patients with DTGA. Furthermore, the normal growth observed after repair utilizing deep hypothermia in our patients is similar to the growth data obtained by Clarkson [4] in patients with large left-to-right shunts repaired by a similar technique. The results of this study lead to the following conclusions concerning management of DTGA: (1) Early Mustard repair is advisable since growth status in this lesion deteriorates with age, and growth failure before the operation predisposes to postoperative growth failure. Furthermore, deep hypothermia was not associated with any deleterious growth effects in the present study. (2) Abnormal postoperative growth by one to two years after the repair is an indication to perform cardiac catheterization since all patients with postoperative growth failure in the present study had significant residual lesions.
