Key result
Cardiac surgery in pediatric patients with right atrial isomerism resulted in an overall survival rate of 86.8% at 10 years, with significantly lower survival in those requiring reintubation.
Why the study?
Right atrial isomerism is a complex, rare entity where treatment options range from palliative to corrective surgeries, leading to varying and heterogeneous outcomes.

What are the surgical outcomes and overall survival in patients with right atrial isomerism undergoing cardiac surgery?
Cardiac surgery for right atrial isomerism yields an overall survival of 86.8%, with reintubation being a significant factor for worse outcomes.
Ortega‐Zhindón et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Right atrial isomerism (n=38). Cardiac surgery was evaluated on Overall survival at 10 years. Cardiac surgery in pediatric patients with right atrial isomerism resulted in an overall survival rate of 86.8% at 10 years, with significantly lower survival in those requiring reintubation.
