Patterns of Developmental Dysfunction After Surgery During Infancy to Correct Transposition of the Great Arteries

摘要: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the early development of children with d-transposition great arteries (N = 171) repaired by an arterial switch operation that used either predominantly total circulatory arrest or continuous low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass. The assigned group scored lower than those bypass on Bayley Scales Infant Development at 1 year age. Responses parental questionnaires completed when were 2.5 years old indicated in group, especially a ventricular septal defect, also manifested poorer expressive language and considered display more internalizing externalizing problem behaviors. use protect vital organs during open heart surgery might place increased risk developmental difficulties, domains motor function.
