Neurologic complications of cardiovascular surgery

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
Taeun Chang, Richard A Jonas

Abstract

With significant advances in surgical technology and methodology, mortality from congenital heart surgery has been significantly reduced in recent decades. Therefore, focus has naturally turned towards predicting, evaluating, and preventing the neurodevelopmental morbidity associated with congenital heart disease and its treatment. This paper reviews recent publications evaluating preoperative neurologic abnormalities and injuries, current neurodevelopmental outcomes of congenital heart repair, and various neuromonitoring modalities that can be used to monitor neurologic function/dysfunction perioperatively. The rapidly advancing field of clinical neuromonitoring holds the promise of providing modalities that can detect injurious processes acutely to allow for intervention.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
