Hospital Survival after Surgical Palliation of Truncus Arteriosus with Interrupted Aortic Arch: Results from a Multi-Institutional Database

Introduction: Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a major congenital cardiac malformation that requires surgical repair in the first few weeks of life. Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is an associated malformation that significantly impacts the complexity of the TA operation. The aim of this study was to exami...

Description
Summary:Introduction: Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a major congenital cardiac malformation that requires surgical repair in the first few weeks of life. Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is an associated malformation that significantly impacts the complexity of the TA operation. The aim of this study was to examine hospital survival and morbidity of patients with TA with and without an IAA. Methods: Data was gathered from the Vizient clinical database, formerly University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), which encompasses more than 160 academic medical centers in the United States. The database was queried for patients admitted from 2002 to 2016 who were
