Arterial Switch Operation and Plasma Biomarkers: Analysis and Correlation with Early Postoperative Outcomes

Abstract: The aims of our study were to describe plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), Troponin I (TnI), and Cystatin C (Cys-C) concentration kinetics in the postoperative period after arterial switch operation in neonate, and to test the correlation between the plasma biomarkers and early clinical outcomes. We prospectively enrolled 29 neonates who underwent ASO. All patients received Custodiol cardioplegia. Blood samples were collected preoperatively (one day before) and in the ICU immediately after admission, and t… Show more

“…Furthermore, evaluating their cardiac results the authors used peak post-operative cardiac troponin I level (cTnI) in the first 24 hours, ejection fraction less than 30% and use of two or more inotropic drugs to define postoperative cardiac morbidity. The role of cTnI and other plasma biomarkers to predict early postoperative outcomes of children underwent to neonatal heart surgery has been investigated also by our group in 2017 (11). In our paper we have a good correlation between cTnI value and inotropic support time.…”

“…In the last years, a lot of studies analyzed pros and cons of these two types of cardioplegic solutions in the different areas of cardiac surgery (6), both in adults and in pediatrics (7,8), in order to find unique and shared indications but today the debate is still open especially in valve surgery. In fact, while literature swarms of clinical investigations about use of cardioplegic strategies in coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgery (9), there are few and conflicting studies comparing their use in valve surgery.…”

“…Some authors (16,17) use biomarkers as brain natriuretic peptide or Troponin I that may improve the risk prediction in pediatric cardiac surgery, supporting its routine use in this setting.…”
