Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis in infants after surgery for congenital heart disease

To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) in neonates undergoing congenital heart disease (CHD) repair. Neonates who had CHD repair with cardiopulmonary bypass and a post-operative brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) between 2013 and 2019 at a single tertiary-care center were identified from institutional databases. Demographic, clinical, and surgical data were abstracted from these databases and from the medical record; 278 neonates with CHD had CPB, 184 of whom had a post-operative brain MRI. Eight (4.3%) patients had a CSVT. Transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (D-TGA-IVS) (p
