Abstract
The hybrid procedure is an alternative palliative strategy for patients with single-ventricle physiology. No data exist documenting the incidence of arrhythmias after the hybrid procedure. Goal of this study was to determine the incidence and type of arrhythmias in patients undergoing the hybrid procedure. A retrospective chart review was performed including all patients undergoing the hybrid procedure between January of 2010 through December of 2013. Sixty-five patients underwent the hybrid procedure during this time period (43 HLHS, 22 other). Average gestational age at admission was 37.7 weeks. Average age at time of procedure was 7.6 days. Five patients had documented arrhythmias (7.7 %). Four were supraventricular tachycardias, and 1 was a sinus bradycardia. One patient with arrhythmia died during hospitalization, and another patient with arrhythmia died during the interstage period. Hybrid palliation for patients with single-ventricle physiology has a low incidence of arrhythmias. In this cohort of patients, arrhythmias did not contribute to mortality. There was a trend toward association between arrhythmias and longer total length of hospital stay.Keywords
