Comparison of Multiple Injection Costotransverse Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block for Post-Sternotomy Pain Relief in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided multiple injection costotransverse block (MICB) and compare it with erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for poststernotomy pain relief in pediatric cardiac surgical patients.

Design: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, comparative study.

Setting: At a single institution tertiary referral cardiac center.

Pediatric clear cell sarcoma of the kidney with cavoatrial thrombus.
