Purpose: To quantify cerebral perfusion in children
after congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair with right
common carotid artery (rCCA) occlusion after ECMO
therapy using pASL. Materials and Methods: In 14
patients the rCCA was occluded after ECMO therapy
(primary ligation or secondary occlusion after
reconstruction). 15 patients without ECMO served as
controls. Results: In patients with rCCA occlusion
subcortical perfusion of the right hemisphere was
significantly lower compared to the left hemisphere
(p=0.011). In one third of the patients with rCCA
occlusion, relCBF of the right hemisphere was reduced of
more than 20%. Conclusion: Based on the possible
hypoperfusion of the right hemisphere after rCCA
occlusion, reconstruction of the rCCA should be
preferred after ECMO therapy.
