Objective  To investigate and compare the different surgical strategies for typeⅠpulmonary atresia with ventricular septum defect (PA/VSD) and the outcomes of postoperative prognosis in early stage. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 61 typeⅠPA/VSD patients (40 males, 21 females) with a median age of 249 days (range, 13 days-19 years) in Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from January 2005 to December 2014 . Among them, 42 patients (27 males, 15 females) with a median age of 11.11 months, ranging from 0.80–211.70 months received radical surgery as a radical surgery group. And 19 patients (13 males, 6 females) with a median age of 2.96 months, ranging from 0.47–161.83 months underwent palliative surgery as a palliative surgery group. We compared the two surgeries and their early outcomes. Results  The mean postoperative oxygen saturation was 88.08%±9.64%, which showed significant improvement compared with preoperative oxygen saturation of 74.08%±12.99% (P<0.05). Patients in the palliative surgery group had a lower body temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass and more respiratory complications than those in the radical surgery group (24.69 °C±3.11 °C vs. 27.18 °C±2.10 °C). Conclusion  Both radical and palliative surgeries are good for the increase of pulmonary blood volume and the development of pulmonary vessels. Surgeons must pay more attention to choosing radical surgery for the babies, which is only considerd for those with well developed pulmonary arteries.
