Impact of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn in Neonates with Dextro-transposition of the Great Arteries.
This study aimed to assess the impact of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) on perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries. Secondarily, we evaluated the association between postoperative outcomes and intraoperative variables including the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, cerebral oxygen desaturation, and hypotension. ⋯ PPHN did not significantly affect perioperative morbidity and mortality in d-TGA patients, suggesting a more favorable prognosis than previously reported.

Impact of Covert Brain Infarction Following Coronary Angiography on Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Outcomes.
To determine the association between preoperative covert brain infarction following coronary angiography (CAG) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Among patients undergoing elective CABG, there was no significant association between covert brain infarction following CAG and the occurrence of MACCEs within 30 days or long-term mortality after CABG.
