Superior cavopulmonary anastomosis timing and outcomes in infants with single ventricle.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We sought to identify factors associated with the timing and surgical outcomes of the superior cavopulmonary anastomosis.

Methods

The Pediatric Heart Network's Infant Single Ventricle trial database identified participants who underwent superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. Factors potentially associated with age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, length of stay and death by 14 months of age were evaluated. Factors included subject demographics, cardiac anatomy, measures from neonatal hospitalization and pre-superior cavopulmonary anastomosis visit, adverse events, echocardiographic variables, intraoperative variables, superior cavopulmonary anastomosis type, and number of concurrent cardiac surgical procedures. Age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis was anal
