Peak creatinine, cardiopulmonary bypass and mortality after stage one single-ventricle reconstruction

ConclusionsIncrease in CPB duration has a strong linear association with increase in PPCC following stage one single-ventricle reconstruction. Increase in PPCC and CPB duration has a strong linear association with hospital mortality. It is important to identify therapies which minimise complications associated with prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass duration in high risk populations.
