Evaluation of end-organ protection in newborns and infants after surgery of aortic arch hypoplasia: A prospective randomized study.

Introduction: Surgical repair of aortic arch hypoplasia in children requires a "dry" surgical field with reliable end-organ protection. Perfusion strategies commonly involve deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and variations of the continuous perfusion techniques, such as selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) and full-flow perfusion with double aortic cannulation (DAC). We aimed to evaluate the end-organ protection in the surgery of aortic arch hypoplasia in newborns and infants using DHCA and DAC.

[Early and long-term results after the Norwood procedure].

Objective: To assess the early and long-term results after the Norwood procedure and to identify predictors of aortic recoarctation and arterial hypertension.

Material And Methods: We have operated on 2789 infants in the department of congenital heart diseases of the Meshalkin National Medical Research Center between January 2015 and December 2018. The current single-center prospective cohort study included 39 (1.
