Abstract Objective We aimed to determine the effects of selective antegrade compared with other perfusion strategies on indices of cerebral blood flow, oxygenation, cellular stress, and mitochondrial function. Methods One-week-old piglets..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES: During the early postoperative period, children with congenital heart disease can suffer from inadequate cerebral perfusion, with possible long-term neurocognitive consequences. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation can be monitored..

Lee masStudy Questions: What are the differences in outcomes between a strategy of staged repair (SR) (initial palliation [IP] and subsequent complete repair [CR]) as compared with primary repair (PR)..
Lee masAbstract Background Coagulopathy is a major problem in surgery for cyanotic congenital heart disease. Tranexamic acid has been used both topically and systemically and plays a vital role in pediatric..
Lee masAbstract Objectives: Colloid osmotic pressure (COP) is a major determinant of fluid shift in paediatric patients undergoing corrective surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, very..
Lee masAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery on Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) can be challenging, given the desire to avoid blood products. Establishment of a blood conservation program involving the pre-, intra- and post-operative..

Abstract Objectives Neurodevelopmental injury after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart defects is common, but the mechanism behind this injury is unclear. This study examines the impact..
Lee masBackground The efficacy of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in bridging children with unrepaired heart defects to a definitive or palliative surgical procedure has been rarely reported. The goal of this..
