Preoperative Hemodynamics and Brain Injury in Transposition of the Great Arteries
Key Points
This study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative hemodynamics and brain injury in newborns with transposition of the great arteries.
Observational study design
Focus on preoperative hemodynamic measurements
Assessment of brain injury markers
Perinatal brain injury remains prevalent in infants with transposition of the great arteries
Hemodynamic factors are linked to the risk of brain injury
Abstract
Despite improvements in transposition of the great arteries (TGA) outcomes, perinatal brain injury remains common.
