Hypercoagulability Markers Predict Thrombosis in Single Ventricle Neonates Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Single ventricle physiology patients are at higher risk for thrombosis compared with other neonates after cardiac surgery. Hypercoagulable panel testing may help risk stratify patients and guide patient specific anticoagulation management in the postoperative period. PMID: 23809731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
