Synopsis
Infants with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments. MRI studies have identified brain injury in infants with CHD both before and after cardiac surgery. We characterized risk factors for preoperative and new postoperative arterial ischaemic stroke (AIS), white matter injury (WMI) and cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) in a cohort of infants with severe CHD. Balloon atrial septostomy was associated with increased risk of preoperative brain injury. Induced vaginal delivery was associated with preoperative WMI. Cardiac physiology and perioperative factors were associated with increased risk of new postoperative brain injury.
