BACKGROUND: Previously, @entity51 was estimated to complicate 25% or less of pediatric open-heart operations. We sought to determine the current incidence and spectrum of early postoperative @entity16 . METHODS: We undertook a retrospective review of all @entity1 undergoing open heart operations in 1 year at our institution with the goal to identify all @entity16 occurring in the early postoperative period. RESULTS: Open-heart operations were performed in 706 @entity1 . Sixteen @entity1 (2.3%) had @entity16 develop, including 9 (1.3%) with definite clinical @entity410 , 1 with suspected @entity410 and bilateral @entity548 , 2 with @entity772 after @entity1167 , 2 with transient mild @entity8684 , 1 with @entity3541 , and 1 with persistent @entity146 . Causes of @entity410 were @entity205 toxicity posttransplant (4), @entity2806 post @entity1167 (3), and unknown (2). In @entity1 less than 1 year of age, the incidence of @entity410 was 1.2%. CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests a decrease in acute neurologic morbidity after pediatric open heart operation. @entity410 remain the most common complication. Posttransplant, @entity205 -associated @entity410 have emerged as an important etiologic category, coincident with an increase in cardiac transplantation in @entity1 .
