Atrezja płucna z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej
Epidemiologia
Atrezja płucna z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej (PA-VSD) to rzadka, złożona wada serca, charakteryzująca się całkowitą niedrożnością zastawki płucnej i obecnością dużych naczyń obocznych aortalno-płucnych (MAPCAs), które kompensują brak prawidłowej tętnicy płucnej. Częstość występowania PA-VSD wynosi około 0,07 na 1000 żywych urodzeń, stanowiąc około 20% przypadków zespołu Fallota i 1,4% wszystkich wrodzonych wad serca. Etiologia jest wieloczynnikowa, z istotnym udziałem mikrodelecji 22q11 (występującej u do 34% pacjentów) oraz czynników środowiskowych, takich jak cukrzyca matki, która zwiększa ryzyko rozwoju PA-VSD nawet 10- do 20-krotnie. Diagnostyka prenatalna opiera się na płodowym echokardiogramie między 18. a 22. tygodniem ciąży, a po urodzeniu na pulsoksymetrii i badaniach obrazowych (echokardiografia, rezonans magnetyczny, cewnikowanie). Bez leczenia chirurgicznego przeżycie jest niskie, z około 50% śmiertelnością w pierwszym roku życia i medianą przeżycia około 10 lat.
Epidemiologia atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej
Atrezja płucna z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej (PA-VSD) to rzadka i złożona wrodzona wada serca charakteryzująca się niedorozwojem lub całkowitą niedrożnością zastawki płucnej, co uniemożliwia przepływ krwi z prawej komory do płuc. Stan ten często wiąże się z obecnością dużych naczyń obocznych aortalno-płucnych (MAPCAs), które zapewniają krążenie płucne przy braku prawidłowej tętnicy płucnej.12
Częstość występowania atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej szacuje się na około 1 na 7500 urodzeń, co stanowi 1-2% wszystkich wrodzonych wad serca. Dokładniej, badanie Baltimore-Washington Infant Study wykazało częstość występowania na poziomie 0,07 na 1000 żywych urodzeń.3456 Szacunki częstości występowania mogą się różnić w zależności od populacji, wahając się od 0,01% do 0,2% żywych urodzeń.7
Warto zauważyć, że częstość występowania wrodzonych wad serca, w tym atrezji płucnej, stopniowo maleje w ostatnich latach. Częstość występowania atrezji płucnej spadła z 12,1% wszystkich wrodzonych wad serca w latach 1999-2000 do 9,6% w 2008 roku, co jest przypisywane zwiększonej świadomości i unikaniu znanych teratogenów oraz czynników ryzyka poprzez edukację pacjentów i poradnictwo.89
Porównanie częstości występowania różnych form atrezji płucnej
Istnieją dwa główne typy atrezji płucnej, które należy rozróżnić w zależności od obecności lub braku ubytku przegrody międzykomorowej. Te dwie formy różnią się obrazem klinicznym, epidemiologią i czynnikami ryzyka:10
- Atrezja płucna z nienaruszoną przegrodą międzykomorową (PA-IVS) występuje z częstością około 1 na 15 000 żywych urodzeń (częściej wśród martwych urodzeń)11
- Atrezja płucna z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej (PA-VSD) stanowi około 20% przypadków zespołu Fallota, występuje z częstością około 0,07 na 1000 żywych urodzeń12
W Baltimore-Washington Infant Study zarejestrowano 4390 niemowląt z wadami układu sercowo-naczyniowego w latach 1981-1989. Spośród nich 296 (6,7%) miało zespół Fallota, a 60 z 296 (20%) niemowląt w grupie z zespołem Fallota miało atrezję płucną z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej. PA-VSD stanowiło 1,4% wszystkich form wrodzonych wad serca.13
Czynniki ryzyka i etiologia
Dokładna przyczyna atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej nie jest w pełni poznana, ale prawdopodobnie jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmując czynniki genetyczne, środowiskowe i rodzinne.1415
Czynniki genetyczne
Genetyczne uwarunkowania odgrywają istotną rolę w etiologii PA-VSD. Najczęściej związaną anomalią genetyczną jest mikrodelecja 22q11, która występuje u nawet 34% pacjentów z PA-VSD, a u nawet 65% pacjentów z dużymi naczyniami obocznymi aortalno-płucnymi (MAPCAs).1617 Taka delecja prowadzi często do zespołu DiGeorge’a.18
Badania sugerują, że około 45% dzieci z zespołem DiGeorge’a może mieć PA-VSD. Zespół DiGeorge’a jest wrodzonym zaburzeniem, w którym u dziecka brakuje części chromosomu 22.1920
Występowanie PA-VSD łączy się również z zespołem Fallota, a niektórzy autorzy uważają PA-VSD za ciężką formę zespołu Fallota.2122
Czynniki środowiskowe i matczyne
Cukrzyca matki jest istotnym czynnikiem ryzyka. U niemowląt matek z jawną cukrzycą ryzyko rozwoju PA-VSD jest około 10-krotnie wyższe w porównaniu do niemowląt matek bez cukrzycy. Ryzyko to wzrasta 20-krotnie, jeśli cukrzyca była na tyle poważna, że wymagała leczenia insuliną.2324
Inne potencjalne czynniki ryzyka dla wrodzonych wad serca, które mogą mieć zastosowanie do PA-VSD, obejmują:25
- Stosowanie niektórych leków lub narkotyków podczas ciąży
- Infekcje wirusowe podczas ciąży
- Nieprawidłowości chromosomalne
- Zaburzenia metaboliczne
- Narażenie na szkodliwe czynniki środowiskowe
Czynniki rodzinne
Obserwuje się zwiększone ryzyko wystąpienia PA-VSD u rodzeństwa (2,53%) lub u dzieci rodziców z zespołem Fallota (1,28-3%). Sugeruje to, że czynniki genetyczne prawdopodobnie przyczyniają się do etiologii tej wady.2627
Nadzór i monitorowanie epidemiologiczne
Właściwy nadzór i monitorowanie epidemiologiczne atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej jest kluczowy dla zrozumienia jej występowania i planowania odpowiednich interwencji medycznych.28
Zalecenia dotyczące nadzoru
Eksperci zalecają kilka kluczowych praktyk w zakresie nadzoru nad PA-VSD:29
- Oddzielne monitorowanie częstości występowania atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej i bez niego
- Unikanie grupowania atrezji zastawki płucnej (Q22.0) ze stenozą zastawki płucnej (Q22.1)
- Śledzenie i ocena przypadków atrezji płucnej (Q22.0) z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej (Q21.0)
- Monitorowanie proporcji współwystępujących wad wrodzonych i zespołów genetycznych występujących z atrezją płucną
- W przypadku konieczności tworzenia większych grup monitorowania, rozważenie grupowania PA-VSD z zespołem Fallota (część tego samego spektrum)
Metody wykrywania
Atrezja płucna z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej może być wykryta na kilka sposobów:303132
- Prenatalna diagnostyka przy użyciu płodowego echokardiogramu (fetal echo) zwykle między 18 a 22 tygodniem ciąży
- Badanie przesiewowe pulsoksymetrii u noworodków – niskie poziomy tlenu we krwi mogą wskazywać na krytyczną wrodzoną wadę serca, taką jak atrezja płucna
- Badanie fizykalne po urodzeniu, obejmujące osłuchiwanie serca stetoskopem
- Diagnostyka obrazowa po urodzeniu (echokardiografia, rezonans magnetyczny, cewnikowanie serca)
Wczesna diagnostyka prenatalna wady umożliwia lepsze zaplanowanie porodu w ośrodku zdolnym do resuscytacji noworodków i natychmiastowej interwencji po urodzeniu, co poprawia szanse na dobry wynik leczenia.3334
Wyniki leczenia i wskaźniki przeżycia
Historia naturalna nieleczonej atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej jest niekorzystna. Bez interwencji chirurgicznej szacuje się, że około 50% pacjentów nie przeżywa pierwszego roku życia, a tylko około 8-10% dożywa 10 lat.3536 Oczekiwana długość życia dla nieleczonych dzieci z PA-VSD wynosi około 10 lat.37
Współczesne metody leczenia znacząco poprawiły wskaźniki przeżycia. W badaniu z udziałem 88 dzieci z PA-VSD, przy medianie czasu obserwacji wynoszącej 5,7 lat (od 7 dni do 13,7 lat), wskaźniki przeżycia wynosiły:3839
- 95% w wieku 1 roku
- 83,7% w wieku 5 lat
- 79,6% w wieku 10 lat
Inne badanie obejmujące 107 niemowląt z PA-VSD, które przeszły operację między 1989 a 2019 rokiem, wykazało, że większość (85%) miała pełną korekcję wady w wieku około 1 roku. Wskaźniki przeżycia wynosiły 90% po 6 miesiącach, 85% po 20 miesiącach i 81% po 10 latach od operacji.40
Identyfikowano kilka istotnych czynników predykcyjnych zgonu, w tym obecność towarzyszących anomalii i niezlewających się tętnic płucnych.41
Różnice geograficzne w wynikach leczenia
Badania wskazują na różnice w wynikach leczenia między krajami rozwiniętymi a rozwijającymi się. W badaniu przeprowadzonym w Tajlandii odnotowano śmiertelność na poziomie 18,9% przy medianie czasu obserwacji wynoszącej 5,7 lat.42 Podobne badanie przeprowadzone w szpitalu Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital w Chinach w latach 2010-2020 wykazało, że technika połączenia prawej komory z tętnicą płucną (RV-PA) daje lepsze wyniki niż zespolenie systemowo-płucne, ze znacznie wyższym wskaźnikiem całkowitej naprawy.43
Warto zauważyć, że dane dotyczące wyników leczenia w krajach rozwijających się są ograniczone, co podkreśla potrzebę dalszych badań w tych regionach.44
Wyzwania w nadzorze epidemiologicznym
Nadzór nad atrezją płucną z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej stwarza kilka istotnych wyzwań:45
- Złożoność wady i jej różnorodne manifestacje kliniczne utrudniają jednolitą klasyfikację
- Częste współwystępowanie z innymi wadami wrodzonymi i zespołami genetycznymi
- Trudności w precyzyjnej prenatalnej diagnostyce, szczególnie gdy towarzyszy innym wadom serca
- Różnice w kodowaniu i raportowaniu przypadków między różnymi systemami nadzoru
Bardzo niska proporcja przypadków atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej w porównaniu do atrezji płucnej bez ubytku przegrody międzykomorowej sugeruje, że ubytki przegrody międzykomorowej są albo pomijane, albo nie są kodowane.46
Jednostka chorobowa atrezji płucnej z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej jest klasyfikowana w różnych systemach kodowania:47
- ICD-10: Q25.5
- ICD-11: LA88.21
- OMIM: 178370
- UMLS: C0344976
- MeSH: C562833
- GARD: 4588
Znaczenie długotermniowej obserwacji
Dzieci z atrezją płucną z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej wymagają długoterminowej, regularnej obserwacji przez kardiologa dziecięcego:4849
- Regularne wizyty kontrolne umożliwiają monitorowanie postępów i sprawdzanie pod kątem innych problemów zdrowotnych
- Nawet wiele lat po pozornie udanej operacji mogą pojawić się nowe problemy wymagające leczenia
- Wszyscy pacjenci z PA-VSD są narażeni na ryzyko infekcji w sercu (zapalenie wsierdzia), zarówno przed, jak i po operacji
- Długoterminowa opieka nad osobami dorosłymi z wrodzonymi wadami serca wymaga specjalistycznych programów dla dorosłych z wrodzonymi wadami serca
Te złożone potrzeby w zakresie długoterminowej opieki podkreślają znaczenie kompleksowego nadzoru i monitorowania epidemiologicznego tej wady serca.5051
Implikacje dla zdrowia publicznego
Nadzór epidemiologiczny nad atrezją płucną z ubytkiem przegrody międzykomorowej ma kilka istotnych implikacji dla zdrowia publicznego:5253
- Prenatalna diagnostyka umożliwia wczesne rozpoczęcie podawania prostaglandyny E1 (PGE1) w celu wczesnej rehabilitacji dotkniętego płuca
- Planowanie porodu w szpitalu zdolnym do resuscytacji noworodków jest ważne dla poprawy szans na dobry wynik
- Badania przesiewowe noworodków za pomocą pulsoksymetrii mogą pomóc w wykrywaniu tej krytycznej wrodzonej wady serca
- Programy edukacyjne dla pacjentów i poradnictwo dotyczące unikania znanych teratogenów i czynników ryzyka przyczyniają się do zmniejszenia częstości występowania wrodzonych wad serca
Poprawa świadomości i wiedzy na temat PA-VSD wśród pracowników służby zdrowia, a także dostęp do specjalistycznej opieki kardiologicznej, są niezbędne do optymalizacji wyników dla pacjentów z tą złożoną wadą serca.5455

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a rare and complex congenital heart anomaly characterized by the underdevelopment or complete obstruction of the pulmonary valve, preventing blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. This condition is often associated with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, which supply pulmonary circulation without a normal pulmonary artery. […] The incidence of congenital heart diseases is decreasing yearly due to the avoidance of known teratogens and risk factors through patient education and counseling. The incidence of pulmonary atresia is also decreasing. The prevalence of pulmonary atresia from 1999 to 2000 was 12.1% of all congenital heart diseases, which gradually decreased to 9.6% in 2008.

Pulmonary atresia (PA) is a congenital heart defect in which the one-way valve (pulmonary valve) between the right ventricle (responsible for pumping oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary artery and to the lungs) and pulmonary artery (responsible for carrying blood to the lungs) does not develop at all. […] In the case of pulmonary atresia with ventricle septal defect (PA with VSA), a hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart (ventricular septal defect) is also present. […] Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect occurs when a hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart (ventricular septal defect) is also present. […] PA with VSD can present in many different ways and is sometimes associated with major aortapulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). […] Treatment options for children with PA with VSA is tailored to their unique anatomy.

Pulmonary valve atresia is a structural heart anomaly characterized clinically by cyanosis and anatomically by an imperforate pulmonary valve that blocks the flow of blood through the right ventricular outflow tract completely. […] Two main forms must be distinguished, based on whether or not a ventricular septal defect is present. These two forms differ in presentation, epidemiology and risk factors. […] The overall birth prevalence of pulmonary atresia is estimated to be approximately 1 in 7500 births. The birth prevalence of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is approximately 1 in 15 000 live births (more frequent among stillbirths). […] Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect can be associated with deletion 22q11, unlike the form with an intact ventricular septum.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a rare birth defect characterized by pulmonary valve atresia occurring alongside a defect on the right ventricular outflow tract. […] Frequency estimates vary between populations, estimates range from 0.01% to 0.2% of live births with PAVSD. It is believed to make up for 1-2% of cases of congenital heart defects worldwide. […] Without treatment, it is a highly life-threatening condition, so prognosis is poor. Life expectancy for untreated children with PAVSD is 10 years.

Pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAs) is a complex lesion with great morphologic variability that represents approximately 2 percent of congenital heart defects, with a prevalence of 0.07 per 1000 live births. […] PA with VSD represents approximately 2 percent of congenital heart defects. In the Baltimore-Washington Infant Study, a prevalence of 0.07 per 1000 live births was reported. […] Infants of overtly diabetic mothers are at approximately 10-fold risk of developing PA with VSD. Genetic factors are considered likely to be etiologically contributory, since an increased risk of occurrence to siblings (2.53 percent) or to children of parents with tetralogy of Fallot (1.28-3 percent) has been observed.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) is synonymous with Tetralogy of Fallot-pulmonary atresia and this defect may be considered as an extreme form of classic Tetralogy of Fallot. […] Baltimore-Washington Infant Study recorded 4390 infants with cardiovascular malformations from 1981 – 1989. Of this, 296 (6.7%) were reported to be Tetralogy of Fallot. Sixty of 296 (20%) infants in the Tetralogy group were Tet-PA. Tet-PA accounted for 1.4% of all forms of congenital heart disease and 0.07 per 100 live births. […] Genetic, environmental, and familial factors play a causative role in etiology of PA-VSD and therefore it remains multifactorial in nature. […] A ten-fold higher incidence of PA-VSD has been reported in infants of diabetic mothers compared to non-diabetic mothers and the incidence is 20-fold higher if diabetes was severe enough to need treatment with insulin.

Congenital heart diseases are becoming less common each year. This is largely due to efforts in educating and advising patients to steer clear of known risk factors. The number of pulmonary atresia cases, a type of congenital heart disease, is also dropping. […] Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD) can be detected in unborn babies at around 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy through an ultrasound. However, if a mother doesnt get prenatal care or lacks access to proper healthcare services, PAVSD might not be discovered until the babys birth during a physical exam. […] Addressing low oxygen levels is a key medical treatment for newborns experiencing heart disorders, as is monitoring and adjusting any fluid imbalance or acidity in the body. […] Without proper surgical intervention, around half of patients do not survive past their first 2 years of life, and only around 10% live up to or beyond 20 years. However, with appropriate treatment and regular follow-up care, the outlook improves significantly. About 65% of patients who are alive one year after treatment can live past the age of 10.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD) is a congenital cardiac malformation characterized by discontinuity of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) resulting from anterior deviation of the infundibular (conal) septum, and an overriding aorta. Because it shares many attributes of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), it is also referred to as TOF with pulmonary atresia. The incidence of PAVSD is estimated to be 1/10,000 live births. […] PAVSD is also associated with major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAs) that, in some cases, are the sole supply of pulmonary blood flow. The morphology of the pulmonary circulation, which varies significantly among patients, determines the management and prognosis of this malformation. […] The most common associated genetic defect is a 22q11 microdeletion, found in up to 34% of patients with PAVSD, and up to 65% of patients with MAPCAs are found to have this abnormality.

Pulmonary atresia is a congenital heart defect that results from failure in the formation of the pulmonary valve that leads to right ventricular outflow obstruction, preventing the right heart ejection of blood to the lungs. It is also associated with a high incidence of chromosomal anomalies. […] The incidence of PA is approximately 0.15 per 1000 live births, and the incidence of PA in the Kingdom of Bahrain is lower at 0.04 per 1000 live births.

There is a high incidence of chromosomal deletion of 22q11 leading to DiGeorge syndrome in those with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. Early catheterization and surgical techniques are effective palliation for short-term survival.
- #19 Pulmonary atresia: Types, causes, symptoms, and morehttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/pulmonary-atresia
Pulmonary atresia is a congenital condition (a condition present at birth) that affects a newborns heart. It limits blood flow from the heart to the lungs. A baby with this condition may need surgery soon after birth. […] There are two types of pulmonary atresia: pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) and pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect (PAVSD). […] PAVSD occurs when a newborn has pulmonary atresia and has a hole in the ventricular septum. This allows blood to flow directly from the right ventricle into the left ventricle. […] Some research suggests that PAVSD may occur in 45% of children who have DiGeorge syndrome. DiGeorge syndrome is a congenital condition in which a baby is missing part of chromosome 22. […] The life expectancy of a child with pulmonary atresia may vary based on factors such as the severity of the condition and any additional complications.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) occurs when theres a hole between the two bottom pumping chambers of the heart and theres no direct connection from the pumping chamber of the heart to the lung arteries. […] PA/VSD, along with tetralogy of Fallot, interrupted aortic arch (IAA), and truncus arteriosus may be associated with DiGeorge syndrome, which is a chromosomal abnormality caused by a missing section (deletion) of the 22nd chromosome. […] Initially after birth, an assessment must be made as to how blood is getting to the lungs. […] If MAPCAs exist, the options will be more complicated.

Pulmonary Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect (PA-VSD) is a complex congenital heart defect (CHD). It occurs in less than 1 in 10,000 fetuses. […] PA-VSD is diagnosed when pulmonary atresia and VSD occur together. […] There appears to be a genetic component in PA-VSD, however in many cases no specific cause can be found. […] There is an increased risk of PA-VSD in siblings of a previous child with this defect, and in the children of individuals with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. […] In PA-VSD, blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery is blocked, so blood is not pumped to the lungs, and a mixture of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood flows out through the VSD to the aorta. […] PA-VSD is treated with cardiac surgery with a goal of creating a channel between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and closing the VSD. […] It appears that there is a genetic component to PA-VSD. As mentioned, if a child suffered from PA-VSD, their siblings will be at a greater risk than the general population.

Congenital heart diseases are becoming less common each year. This is largely due to efforts in educating and advising patients to steer clear of known risk factors. The number of pulmonary atresia cases, a type of congenital heart disease, is also dropping. […] Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD) can be detected in unborn babies at around 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy through an ultrasound. However, if a mother doesnt get prenatal care or lacks access to proper healthcare services, PAVSD might not be discovered until the babys birth during a physical exam. […] Addressing low oxygen levels is a key medical treatment for newborns experiencing heart disorders, as is monitoring and adjusting any fluid imbalance or acidity in the body. […] Without proper surgical intervention, around half of patients do not survive past their first 2 years of life, and only around 10% live up to or beyond 20 years. However, with appropriate treatment and regular follow-up care, the outlook improves significantly. About 65% of patients who are alive one year after treatment can live past the age of 10.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA/VSD/MAPCAs) is a relatively rare and extremely heterogeneous form of congenital heart disease. […] The natural history of PA/VSD/MAPCAs is quite poor, with 10- and 20-year survival estimated at 50% and 20%, respectively. […] The introduction of the midline unifocalization approach represented a paradigm shift in the treatment of PA/VSD/MAPCAs. […] More than 75% of patients born with PA/VSD/MAPCAs are candidates for a midline unifocalization strategy. […] The mid-line unifocalization approach is our choice for patients with predominantly single-supply MAPCAs and was used in the preponderance (80%) of the patients. […] It is our belief that the long-term outcomes for PA/VSD/MAPCAs will be determined by two factors; specifically, (I) the number of patients achieving complete repair, and (II) the achievement of low right ventricular pressures.

After pulmonary atresia surgery, the child will need to see a pediatric cardiologist regularly. The child may need future surgeries. This will depend on several factors, including right ventricle size and any other defects present. A full two-ventricle repair can be done if the right ventricle is big enough. […] Another option is following the single-ventricle pathway with staged surgeries to separate the oxygenated arterial circulation from the deoxygenated venous circulation. Two more surgeries â the Glenn procedure and Fontan procedure â allow blood to flow through the lungs to pick up oxygen so that it can then be distributed throughout the body. […] The board-certified and fellowship-trained specialists at Norton Childrenâs Heart Institute can identify the best surgical options for your child with pulmonary atresia.
