Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the brain and vascular health of 2-year-old children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who underwent carotid artery reconstruction after ECMO therapy, comparing their neurological development to other groups.
- Among the 30 infants studied, 60% had prior ECMO treatment, and most children showed significant occlusion or stenosis of the reconstructed artery but maintained some healthy blood supply.
- Despite higher instances of cerebral injuries in the ECMO group, there was no notable difference in neurological development compared to controls, raising questions about the overall benefits of the carotid artery repair procedure.
