Predictors of transient left ventricular dysfunction following transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus closure in pediatric age

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the left ventricular function before and after transcatheter percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure, and to identify the predictors of myocardial dysfunction post-PDA closure if present. INTERVENTIONS: Transcatheter PDA closure; conventional, Doppler, and tissue...

Sumario:OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the left ventricular function before and after transcatheter percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure, and to identify the predictors of myocardial dysfunction post-PDA closure if present. INTERVENTIONS: Transcatheter PDA closure; conventional, Doppler, and tissue Doppler imaging; and speckle tracking echocardiography. OUTCOME MEASURES: To determine the feasibility and reliability of tissue Doppler and myocardial deformation imaging for evaluating myocardial function in children undergoing transcatheter PDA closure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-two children diagnosed with hemodynamically significant PDA underwent percutaneous PDA closure. Conventional, Doppler, and tissue Doppler imaging, and speckle-derived strain rate echocardiography were performed at preclosure and at 48 hours, 1 month, and 6 months postclosure. Tissue Doppler velocities of the lateral and septal mitral valve annuli were obtained. Global and regional longitudinal peak systolic strain values were determined using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 2 years and body weight was 15 kg, with the mean PDA diameter of 3.11 ± 0.99 mm. M-mode measurements (left ventricular end diastolic diameter, left atrium diameter to aortic annulus ratio, ejection fraction, and shortening fraction) reduced significantly early after PDA closure (p < 0.001). After 1 month, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left atrium diameter to aortic annulus ratio continued to decrease, while ejection fraction and fractional shortening improved significantly. All tissue Doppler velocities showed a significant decrease at 48 hours with significant prolongation of global myocardial function (p < 0.001) and then were normalized within 1 month postclosure. Similarly, global longitudinal strain significantly decreased at 48 hours postclosure (p < 0.001), which also recovered at 1 month follow-up. Preclosure global longitudinal strain showed a good correlation with the postclosure prolongation of the myocardial performance index. CONCLUSION: Transcatheter PDA closure causes a significant decrease in left ventricular performance early after PDA closure, which recovers completely within 1 month. Preclosure global longitudinal strain can be a predictor of postclosure myocardial dysfunction.
