Primary pulmonary vein stenosis: The impact of sutureless repair on survival

Abstract: Mortality and restenosis rates remained high despite the adoption of a sutureless technique. A preoperative pulmonary vein stenosis score of greater than 4 was a strong predictor of poor prognosis.

“…20 The newer SPM technique has now become the preferred approach in many centers, because it avoids stitching the cut edges of the PVs; this approach can thereby help prevent geometric distortion of the suture line and reduce the stimulus for regrowth of the obstructive tissue. 14,21,22 However, the results are inconclusive for this procedure as well 18,19,23,24 (Table 3). …”

“…As mentioned above, the apparent equivalence of the techniques may have been confounded by selection bias of operative strategy with the more difficult patients undergoing a sutureless operation. Prediction of post-repair recurrence or death by a preoperative pulmonary vein score as proposed by Yun and colleagues from Toronto [11], and later validated by Viola [12], was not performed in this series.…”

“…Using the sutureless technique, several groups have reported improved survival with this strategy [1,5,10,11]. However, the reported results have not been as favorable with the sutureless technique in children with primary pulmonary vein stenosis [2,12] or even in those with single ventricle anatomy [1].…”
