RESULTS: Right atrial reservoir strain and right ventricular free wall strain was measured at baseline, 1 and 3 years after PVR. There were 114 patients with PS (early PVR, 87 [76%]; late PVR, 27 [24%]) and 291 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (early PVR, 197 [67%]; late PVR, 96 [33%]). The PS group had greater improvement in right atrial reservoir strain at 1 year (12%±4% versus 8%±4%; P<0.001) and 3 years (15%±6% versus 9%±6%; P<0.001), and a greater improvement in right ventricular free wall strain at 1 year (12%±4% versus 7%±3%, P=0.008) and 3-years (16%±6% versus 12%±5%; P=0.01) after PVR compared with the tetralogy of Fallot group. There was no difference in right heart reverse remodeling between patients who underwent early versus later PVR within the PS group. In contrast, late PVR was associated with less right heart reverse remodeling within the tetralogy of Fallot group.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that patients with palliated PS presenting pulmonary regurgitation have a more benign clinical course, and hence delaying PVR in this population may be appropriate.
结果:在基线测量右心房储库应变和右心室游离壁应变,PVR后1年和3年。有114例PS(早期PVR,87[76%];晚期PVR,27[24%])和291例法洛四联症患者(早期PVR,197[67%];晚期PVR,96[33%])。PS组在1年(12%±4%对8%±4%;P<0.001)和3年(15%±6%对9%±6%;P<0.001)时,右心房储库应变的改善更大,1年时右心室游离壁应变有更大的改善(12%±4%对7%±3%,与法洛四联症组相比,PVR后P=0.008)和3年(16%±6%对12%±5%;P=0.01)。在PS组中,早期和晚期PVR患者的右心脏逆向重塑没有差异。相比之下,晚期PVR与法洛四联症组右心逆转重构较少相关.
结论:这些数据表明,出现肺返流的缓解性PS患者的临床病程更为良性,因此延迟该人群的PVR可能是合适的。
