Abstract
Postoperative thrombosis in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a frequent, under-diagnosed and clinically detrimental complication. The majority of known risk factors for thrombosis in this context are non-modifiable clinical correlates (notably younger age at surgery and cyanosis). We sought to identify modifiable physiological risk factors for post-operative thrombosis after pediatric cardiac surgery to inform the development of thromboprophylaxis strategies. Pediatric patients were prospectively enrolled before cardiac surgery with CPB in an observational cohort study. Children.
