Reintervention group (N=16):
Of the 16 patients who underwent reintervention due to pulmonary
stenosis, there was no
mortality and nine patients (56%) had the intervention within two years
following the surgery
(Figure 5). 14 patients had one Intervention, one patient underwent two
interventions, and one
patient underwent three interventions.
Furthermore, 6 out of the 16 patients had simple TGA, and 10 had complex
TGA.
The common type of pulmonary stenosis was supra-valvular and was
observed in (14 out of 16),
and only two patients had valvar and sub-valvar pulmonary stenosis. In
the supra-valvular
group, three patients had main pulmonary artery stenosis, three patients
had right pulmonary
artery stenosis, one patient had left Pulmonary artery stenosis and
seven patients had bilateral
pulmonary artery stenosis. The clinical decision to perform the
reintervention was based on the
multidisciplinary (heart-team) meeting.
Out of the 19 reinterventions performed (19 reinterventions for 16
patients), 12 were surgical, Figure 6.
