Impact of additional myocardial perfusion on renal function after neonatal arch repair
Introduction Myocardial protection during neonatal aortic arch repair may influence postoperative cardiac function and subsequent systemic organ perfusion. We investigated whether the addition of myocardial perfusion during arch repair is associated with improved postoperative renal function in neonates. Methods We retrospectively analyzed neonates, including premature infants who underwent surgery beyond the neonatal period after reaching an appropriate corrected gestational age, who underwent aortic arch repair w …
