(CBP) for cardiac surgery in neonates. It is unclear if exposure to computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the preoperative period increases the risk of AKI. We hypothesized a short interval
between CTA and CPB surgery would be associated with higher rates of AKI in infants.
Design: In this single center retrospective review of patients between 2012 and 2015, neonates
less than one month old were analyzed if they had CTA prior to cardiac surgery with CPB.
Baseline, demographic, fluid balance, and laboratory data was analyzed.… More >
