Post-operative Treatment
Post-operative course
- The operative mortality for an elective repair is less than 2%.
- It is increased by the presence of associated anomalies, multiple defects, or if there is severe pulmonary hypertension.
- Late follow-up shows that their life expectancy is restored to that of age matched controls (except in those over the age of three with severe pulmonary hypertension).
- There is a residual defect in 14% to 25% of patients which is hemodynamically insignificant
- A persistent RBBB in the majority of patients due to disruption of the Purkinje fibers.
- In patients over 3 at the time of the operation, there is often residual and progressive pulmonary hypertension and or residual ventricular dysfunction.
- The risk of endocarditis following closure is similar to that in the general population. Because small defects are frequent, antibiotic prophylaxis is still recommended.
