ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the newborn population with Patau (T13) and Edwards Syndrome (T18) with congenital heart diseases that stayed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a quaternary care hospital complex, regarding surgical and non-surgical medical procedures, palliative care, and outcomes. Methods: Descriptive case series conducted from January/2014 to December/2018 through analysis of records of patients with positive karyotype for T13 or T18 who stayed in the ICU of a quaternary hospital. Descriptive statistics analysis was applied. Results: 33 records of eligible patients were identified: 27 with T18 (82%), and 6 T13 (18%); 64% female and 36% male. Eight were preterm infants with gestational age between 30-36 weeks (24%), and only 4 among the 33 infants had a birth weight >2500 g (12%). Four patients underwent heart surgery and one of them died. Intrahospital mortality was 83% for T13, and 59% for T18. The majority had other malformations and underwent other surgical procedures. Palliative care was offered to 54% of the patients. The median hospitalization time for T18 and T13 was 29 days (range: 2-304) and 25 days (13-58), respectively. Conclusions: Patients with T13 and T18 have high morbidity and mortality, and long hospital and ICU stays. Multicentric studies are needed to allow the analysis of important aspects for creating protocols that, seeking therapeutic proportionality, may bring better quality of life for patients and their families.

Abstract Background Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are one of the most prevalent malformations, and the screening tests to identify critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is the pulse oximetry test, with subsequent investigation and treatment. Objective To quantify positive pulse oximetry tests and verify the prevalence of CCHD detected by it in asymptomatic newborns, ≥35 gestational weeks, in a Brazilian maternity hospital. Methodology This is an observational, retrospective, quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study, conducted from October 2020 to May 2022, in a maternity hospital in southern Brazil, through the collection of records of positive oximetry pulse tests, following the norms of screening CCHD test of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics (SBP), after they were evaluated with echocardiography for confirmation or exclusion of CHD. Results A total of 5,667 newborns were evaluated in this study, according to the inclusion criteria; 0.17% (n = 10) had a positive pulse oximetry test. Regarding the results of the echocardiography of the neonates with a positive test, two were normal, seven were cases of patent foramen ovale (PFO), and one was a case (0,017%) with interatrial communication (IAC) diagnosis. In the same period, five neonates with CCHD were born, symptomatic, diagnosed by physical examination, and referred to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) before taking the neonatal cardiac screening (< 24 hours of life). Conclusion The prevalence of positive pulse oximetry tests was 0.17% and none CCHD was detected. Five cases of CCHD were born in this period, but they were diagnosed before the recommend time to perform the screening test.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the prognosis and influence of associated factors in patients with congenital heart disease admitted for the first time to the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio/Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, especially those factors associated with death. Methods: Patients were prospectively and consecutively allocated over a period of one year (August 2005 to July 2006). Now, 15 years after the initial selection, we collected data from these patients in the database of the Cytogenetics Laboratory of the Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre and in the medical records of the hospital. Results: Of the 96 patients, 11 died and 85 were alive until 20 years old. Four patients died in the Intensive Care Unit. The survival probability up to 365 days of life was 95.8%. The survival assessment identified that the deaths occurred mainly before the patients completed one thousand days of life. We found that complex heart disease was independently associated with an odds ratio of 5.19 (95% confidence interval — CI:1.09-24.71; p=0.038) for death. Conclusions: Knowledge about the factors that interfere with the prognosis can be crucial in care practice planning, especially considering that congenital heart disease is an important cause of mortality in the first year of life.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o prognóstico e a influência de fatores associados em pacientes com cardiopatia congênita internados pela primeira vez na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio/Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, principalmente aqueles fatores associados ao óbito. Métodos: Os pacientes foram alocados prospectiva e consecutivamente por um período de um ano (agosto de 2005 a julho de 2006). Agora, 15 anos após a seleção inicial, coletamos dados desses pacientes no banco de dados do Laboratório de Citogenética da Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre e nos prontuários do hospital. Resultados: Dos 96 pacientes, 11 faleceram e 85 permaneceram vivos até completar 20 anos. Quatro pacientes morreram na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. A probabilidade de sobrevida até 365 dias de vida foi de 95,8%. A avaliação da sobrevida identificou que os óbitos ocorreram principalmente antes de os pacientes completarem mil dias de vida. Verificamos que a doença cardíaca complexa foi independentemente associada a um odds ratio de 5,19 (intervalo de confiança — IC95% 1,09-24,71; p=0,038) para morte. Conclusões: O conhecimento dos fatores que interferem no prognóstico pode ser fundamental no planejamento da prática assistencial, principalmente considerando-se que as cardiopatias congênitas são importante causa de mortalidade no primeiro ano de vida.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Findings of inadequate tissue perfusion might be used to predict the risk of mortality. In this study, we evaluated the effects of lactate and lactate clearance on mortality of patients who had undergone extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: Patients younger than 18 years old and who needed venoarterial ECMO support after surgery for congenital heart defects, from July 2010 to January 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients successfully weaned from ECMO constituted Group 1, and patients who could not be weaned from ECMO were in Group 2. Postoperative clinics and follow-ups of the groups including mortality and discharge rates were evaluated. Results: There were 1,844 congenital heart surgeries during the study period, and 55 patients that required ECMO support were included in the study. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding demographics and operative variables. The sixth-, 12th-, and 24th-hour lactate levels in Group 1 were statistically significantly lower than those in Group 2 (P=0.046, P=0.024, and P<0.001, respectively). There were statistically significant differences regarding lactate clearance between the groups at the 24th hour (P=0.009). The cutoff point for lactate level was found as ≥ 2.9, with 74.07% sensitivity and 78.57% specificity (P<0.001). The cutoff point for lactate clearance was determined as 69.44%, with 59.26% sensitivity and 78.57% specificity (P=0.003). Conclusion: Prognostic predictive factors are important to initiate advanced treatment modalities in patients with ECMO support. In this condition, lactate and lactate clearance might be used as a predictive marker.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Cyanotic congenital heart diseases constitute 40-45% of all congenital heart diseases. In patients who are not suitable for primary repair, modified BT (MBT) shunt and central shunt (CS) procedures are still frequently used. Methods: This study included 62 pediatric patients who underwent MBT shunt or CS via median sternotomy. Patients' demographic, echocardiographic, operative, and postoperative data were collected retrospectively. The patients were classified as single ventricle and bi-ventricle according to their cardiac anatomy, and the presence of prematurity and heterotaxy was noted. Procedure details of the patients who underwent endovascular intervention prior to the surgery were investigated, and operation data were accessed from the surgery notes. Data regarding postoperative follow-ups were obtained and comparatively analyzed. Results: Of the total 62 patients, 32 (51.6%) were newborns and 16 (25.8%) had a body weight < 3 kg. MBT shunt was applied to 48 patients (77.4%), while CS was applied to 14 patients (22.6%). There was no significant difference between the two surgical procedures in terms of requirement for urgent shunt or cardiopulmonary bypass, additional simultaneous surgical intervention, need for high postoperative inotropes, and in-hospital mortality (P>0.05). The rate of congestive heart failure in patients with in-hospital mortality was determined as 66.7% and it was significantly higher than in patients without heart failure (P<0.001). Conclusion: MBT shunt and CS are still frequently used in cyanotic patients. The use of small-diameter shunts, particularly when centrally located, can prevent the onset of congestive heart failure and lower mortality.
Résumé
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects eight to ten out of every 1,000 births, resulting in approximately 23,057 new cases in Brazil in 2022. About one in four children with CHD requires surgery or other procedures in the first year of life, and it is expected that approximately 81% of these children with CHD will survive until at least 35 years of age. Professionals choosing to specialize in CHD surgery face numerous challenges, not only related to mastering surgical techniques and the complexity of the diseases but also to the lack of recognition by medical societies as a separate subspecialty. Furthermore, families face difficulties when access to services capable of providing treatment for these children. To address these challenges, it is essential to have specialized hospitals, qualified professionals, updated technologies, sustainable industry, appropriate financing, quality assessment systems, and knowledge generation. The path to excellence involves specialization across all involved parties. As we reflect on the importance of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery and Congenital Heart Diseases establishing themselves as a subspecialty of Cardiovascular Surgery, it is essential to look beyond our borders to countries like the United States of America and United Kingdom, where this evolution is already a reality. This autonomy has led to significant advancements in research, education, and patient care outcomes, establishing a care model. By following this path in Brazil, we not only align our practice with the highest international standards but also demonstrate our maturity and the ability to meet the specific needs of patients with CHD and those with acquired childhood heart disease.

Abstract Introduction Since more children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are surviving, policy changes are needed to improve their survival and quality of life. Global data and a literature review were systematically analyzed using The Global, Regional, and National Burden of CHDs, Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study, published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, which provided estimates of mortality from CHD. Objective To outline studies with CHDs and the concept of burden as a possible contributor to the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) over time. Methods Bibliographic references and related authors (2005 to 2022) were researched and analyzed. Web of Science (WoS), Clarivate Analytics, was chosen as the source database to outline the results through bibliometric analysis, which is characterized by a quantitative and statistical technique to understand and measure new issues, as well as identify some trends in current research, regarding the issue of burden in CHDs. Results Sixty-five selected publications were found according to the bibliographic survey using the keywords "Burden CHDs." Afterwards, bibliometric analysis was performed, filtering the following results: years of publication; countries/regions; authors and number of citations; citation analysis; WoS index; types of documents; and research areas. The results are presented as figures. Conclusion The concept of burden addressing the issue of CHD has been used with great propriety for the development of goals for care of CHDs, mainly in the last decade, highlighting the year 2020.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of prospective ECG-gated high-pitch protocol scanning of third generation DSCT in the diagnosis of pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 243 children with confirmed CHD who were expected to undergo surgical treatment were prospectively collected and randomly divided evenly into 3 groups, with first group for prospective ECG-gated high-pitch scanning in third generation DSCT (Flash 3rd), second group for prospective ECG-gated high-pitch scanning in second generation DSCT (Flash 2nd) and third group for prospective sequential scanning in third generation DSCT (Sequence 3rd). The SD value and SNR of aortic root and pulmonary artery of each child were recorded. The 5-point system is adopted with subjective scoring. Based on the result of operation, the diagnosis accuracy in 3 groups was analyzed. Results:The E values in Flash 3rd, Flash 2nd and Sequence 3rd group were 0.24 (0.19, 0.27), 0.11 (0.10, 0.14) and 0.44 (0.39, 0.48) mSv ( H=207.04, P<0.05), respectively. Subjective scores of group Flash 3rd and Sequence 3rd were significantly higher than that of group Flash 2nd [4 (4, 4) vs. 4(3, 4) vs. 3(3, 3), H=124.05, P<0.05] and no difference between these two groups. SD value of aortic root and pulmonary artery of group Flash 3rd and Sequence 3rd were significantly lower than that of group Flash 2nd( H= -40.27-33.38, P<0.05). SNR of aortic root and pulmonary artery of group Flash 3rd was significantly higher than that of group Flash 2nd and Sequence 3rd ( H=-0.90-51.42, P<0.05). Diagnosis accuracy of intracardiac malformation for group Flash 2nd was significantly lower than that of Flash 3rd and Sequence 3rd (77.7%, 90.9%, 88.9%, K=9.36, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the latter two groups. There was no difference in diagnosis accuracy of extracardiac malformation among 3 groups (88.6%, 94.8%, 92.2%, K=3.11, P=0.21). Conclusions:The prospective ECG-gated high-pitch scanning in third generation DSCT can take into account radiation dose and image quality, which has important clinical value in the diagnosis of CHD.

Objective:This study examines the application of echocardiography in the prenatal diagnosis of copy number variation (CNV) associated with fetal congenital heart disease (CHD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 447 singleton pregnancies from Quanzhou Maternal and Child Care Hospital (Quanzhou Children's Hospital) from January 2019 to August 2022. These individuals underwent echocardiographic assessments suggestive of fetal CHD and subsequently received invasive prenatal diagnoses. Comprehensive karyotype analysis and chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) were performed for each case. The discrepancies in the chromosomal abnormality detection were analyzed between the results produced by CMA and karyotype analysis. Furthermore, differences in the detection of pathogenic copy number variation (pCNV) between the two methods in CHD cases with diverse cardiac phenotypes, including the presence or absence of extracardiac structural malformations, the type, and quantity of cardiac structural anomalies, were explored. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. Results:Compared with conventional karyotype analysis, CMA demonstrated a higher detection rate of fetal chromosomal abnormalities [10.5% (47/447) vs. 20.6% (92/447), χ 2=161.56, P<0.001]. In terms of distinct cardiac phenotypes, CHD cases with extracardiac structural anomalies displayed an escalated pCNV detection rate in comparison to isolated CHD cases [11.4% (45/394) vs. 32.1% (17/53), χ 2=16.68, P<0.001]. Within the cardiac structural anomaly subgroups, increased pCNV detection rates were observed in the septal defect subgroup, conotruncal malformation subgroup, and left ventricular malformation subgroup [18.4%(29/158), 25.9%(7/27), and 25.0%(7/28) vs. 7.6%(16/210); χ 2=9.15, 9.68, and 8.55, respectively, all P<0.05]. The CMA-identified pCNV correlated with CHD included 22q11.2 deletions/duplications in eight cases, 4p16.3 deletions in two cases, 11q23.3 microduplications in two cases, 1q21.1 microdeletions/microduplications in two cases, 4q28.3 microduplications in one case, and 10p15.3 microdeletions in one case. Conclusions:CMA technology exhibited an enhanced ability to detect pCNV in fetuses with CHD. Echocardiography can guide targeted CMA screening, thereby facilitating prenatal genetic assessment of CHD.

Resumo Fundamento A infecção do sítio cirúrgico (ISC) é uma importante complicação no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca pediátrica associada ao aumento da morbimortalidade. Objetivos Identificar fatores de risco para a ISC após cirurgias cardíacas para correção de malformações congênitas. Métodos Este estudo caso-controle incluiu 189 pacientes com um ano completo e 19 anos e 11 meses, submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca em hospital universitário terciário de cardiologia de janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2018. Foi realizado registro e análise de dados pré, intra e pós-operatórios. Para cada caso foram selecionados dois controles, conforme o diagnóstico da cardiopatia e cirurgia realizada em um intervalo de até 30 dias para minimizar diferenças pré e/ou intraoperatórias. Para a análise dos fatores de risco foi utilizado o modelo de regressão binária logística. Significância estatística definida como valor de p<0,05. Resultados O estudo incluiu 66 casos e 123 controles. A incidência de ISC variou de 2% a 3,8%. Fatores de risco identificados: faixa etária de lactentes (OR 3,19, IC 95% 1,26 - 8,66, p=0,014), síndrome genética (OR 6,20, IC 95% 1,70 - 21,65, p=0,004), RACHS-1 categorias 3 e 4 (OR 8,40, IC 95% 3,30 - 21,34, p<0,001), o valor da proteína C reativa (PCR) de 48 horas pós-operatórias foi demonstrado como fator protetor para esta infecção (OR 0,85, IC 95% 0,73 - 0,98, p=0,023). Conclusão Os fatores de risco identificados não são variáveis modificáveis. Vigilância e medidas preventivas contínuas são fundamentais para reduzir a infecção. O papel do PCR elevado no pós-operatório foi fator protetor e precisa ser melhor estudado.
Abstract Background Surgical site infection is an important complication after pediatric cardiac surgery, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Objectives We sought to identify risk factors for surgical site infection after pediatric cardiac surgeries. Methods A case-control study included patients aged between 1 year and 19 years and 11 months of age, submitted to cardiac surgery performed at a tertiary cardiac center from January 1 st , 2011, through December 31, 2018. Charts were reviewed for pre-, intra, and postoperative variables. We identified two randomly selected control patients with the same pathophysiological diagnosis and underwent surgery within thirty days of each index case. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors. Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05. Results Sixty-six cases and 123 controls were included. Surgical site infection incidence ranged from 2% to 3.8%. The following risk factors were identified: Infant age (OR 3.19, 95% CI 1.26 to 8.66, p=0.014), presence of genetic syndrome (OR 6.20, CI 95% 1.70 to 21.65, p=0.004), categories 3 and 4 of RACHS-1 (OR 8.40, CI 95% 3.30 to 21.34, p<0.001), 48 h C-reactive protein level range was detected as a protective factor for this infection (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.98, p=0.023). Conclusions The risk factors defined in this study could not be modified. Therefore, additional surveillance and new preventive strategies need to be implemented to reduce the incidence of surgical site infection. The increased CRP in the postoperative period was a protective factor that needs further understanding.

Introducción: Los defectos congénitos son un problema global que anualmente afecta a 7,9 millones de recién nacidos, los cuales constituyen la primera causa de muerte en los países desarrollados, y la segunda en países en vías de desarrollo, como es el caso de Cuba. Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia de defectos congénitos folato-sensibles entre nacidos vivos, nacidos muertos e interrupciones electivas del embarazo. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en la provincia de Villa Clara donde se incluyeron todos los casos con defectos congénitos folato-sensibles diagnosticados entre 2013 y 2018. Resultados: Las cardiopatías congénitas conotruncales, el síndrome Down y los defectos del tubo neural fueron los fenotipos clínicos más prevalentes. La tasa de prevalencia ajustada fue de 5,79 por 1 000 nacimientos. Se constató una mayor tasa de prevalencia entre nacidos muertos y se interrumpió el 43,26 % de los embarazos con defectos diagnosticados prenatalmente. Las mayores tasas de prevalencia ajustada de cardiopatías y hendiduras labiopalatinas se identificaron en los municipios de Corralillo y Quemado de Güines, mientras que Placetas tuvo las mayores tasas de defectos del tubo neural y síndrome Down, y Manicaragua las de gastrosquisis. Conclusiones: La mayor frecuencia de defectos congénitos entre nacidos muertos puede estar en relación con la gran expresividad variable de los defectos estudiados, donde se incluyen fenotipos clínicos de gravedad. En los diferentes municipios con elevadas tasas de prevalencia de estos defectos están involucrados diferentes factores de riesgo ambientales que actúan sobre un genotipo que predispone a estos defectos congénitos.
Introduction: congenital defects are a global problem, annually affecting 7.9 million newborns. They constitute the leading cause of death in developed countries and the second one in developing countries like Cuba. Objective: to determine the prevalence of folate-sensitive birth defects among live births, stillbirths and elective pregnancy terminations. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in Villa Clara province, where all cases with folate-sensitive birth defects diagnosed between 2013 and 2018 were included. Results: conotruncal congenital heart diseases, Down syndrome and neural tube defects were the most prevalent clinical phenotypes. The adjusted prevalence rate was 5.79 per 1,000 births. A higher prevalence rate was found among stillbirths and 43.26% of pregnancies with prenatally diagnosed defects were terminated. The highest rates of adjusted prevalence of cleft lip and palate and heart diseases were identified in Corralillo and Quemado de Güines municipalities, while Placetas had the highest rates of neural tube defects and Down syndrome, as well as Manicaragua those of gastroschisis. Conclusions: the higher frequency of congenital defects among stillbirths may be related to a highly variable expressivity of the studied defects, where serious clinical phenotypes are included. Different environmental risk factors acting on a genotype that predisposes these congenital defects are involved in the different municipalities with high prevalence rates of these defects.

Introdução: A Cardiopatia Congênita (CC) é uma doença crônica, caracterizada por anormalidades estruturais e funcionais no sistema cardiocirculatório, podendo ocorrer por fatores genéticos, mutações, alterações cromossômicas ou mesmo ter uma origem multifatorial. Estudos discutem sobre a possibilidade da CC criar um ambiente estressor para a criança e sua família, sobretudo para sua mãe, por ser o elemento da família que, geralmente, assume o acompanhamento e a execução dos cuidados com a criança. Objetivo: Identificar e descrever a percepção e sentimentos maternos acerca da doença do filho, suas dificuldades, o impacto da doença na qualidade de vida da família e suas angústias diante do futuro. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa, transversal, descritiva, com coleta de dados feita entre os meses de Dezembro de 2022 e Fevereiro de 2023, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas por ligação telefônica, gravada, com 13 mães de crianças com CC. O processo de análise foi orientado pela análise de conteúdo do tipo temática. Resultado: O estresse está presente na fala da maior parte das mães. Essas falas trazem à cena o fato de que este se condensa especialmente nos períodos iniciais do processo: descoberta da doença do filho, notícia da(s) cirurgia(s), responsabilidade pelos cuidados que se prolongam, isolamento materno. Conclusão: O medo da morte, do futuro e do desenvolvimento da criança são fantasmas que também circulam nas manifestações maternas e expressam a dificuldade em antecipar aos seus filhos uma subjetividade, condição de base para o desenvolvimento geral adequado.

Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a chronic disease, characterized by structural and functional abnormalities in the cardiocirculatory system, which may occur due to genetic factors, mutations, chromosomal alterations, or even have a multifactorial origin. Studies discuss the possibility of CC creating a stressful environment for the child and his family, especially for his mother, as she is the family member who generally takes on the monitoring and execution of care for the child. Objective:To identify and describe maternal perceptions and feelings about their child's illness, their difficulties, the impact of the disease on the family's quality of life, and their anxieties about the future. Method:Qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive research, with data collection carried out between December 2022 and February 2023, through semi-structured interviews conducted by telephone, recorded, with 13 mothers of children with CC. The analysis process was guided by thematic content analysis. Result:Stress is in the speech of most mothers. These statements bring to the fore the fact that stress is condensed especially in the early stages of the process: discovery of the child's illness, news of the surgery(s), responsibility for prolonged care, and maternal isolation. Conclusion: Fear of death, the future and the child's development are ghosts that also circulate in maternal manifestations and express the difficulty in anticipating their children, a basic condition for adequate general development.

Aim: Surgical correction of congenital heart defects (CHD) often requires interruption of blood flow through cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamping (ACC), for which duration(s) are considered to be prognostic factors, along with intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (ICULOS). The aim of this study was to evaluate these surgical prognostic factors in pediatric patients with different types of CHD regarding their type of lesion and associated genetic factors. Study Design: Cross-sectional cohort study with 307 pediatric patients. Place and Duration of Study: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio, in Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil, from 2006-2009 (3 years) Methodology: After inclusion criteria, we studied 266 pediatric patients admitted for the first time in a reference cardiac pediatric ICU from Southern Brazil following cardiac surgery. Intraoperative prognostic factors such as duration of CPB, ACC and ICULOS, in addition to dysmorphological and cytogenetic examinations were compiled and analyzed. P-values of <0.05 were considered significant. Results: CPB time was associated to four outflow tract defects (Tetralogy of Fallot [ToF], transposition of the great arteries [TGA], double outlet right ventricle, and truncus arteriosus [TA]), atrioventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) (P < 0.001). ACC duration was associated with three outflow tract defects (ToF, TGA, and TA) and HLHS (P < 0.001). Moreover, CPB and ACC times showed an association with cyanotic and complex heart defects, as well as prolonged ICULOS (P < 0.001). There was no relationship between these prognostic factors and syndromic aspects or cytogenetic findings. Conclusions: CHD type has an impact over CPB and ACC duration and ICULOS, whereas genetic factors are not associated with those prognostic factors.
