Abstrakt: From September 1990 to February 1997, 23 consecutive critically ill infants (12 males, 11 females) weighing 2500 g or less underwent cardiac surgery necessitating extracorporeal circulation (ECC). A retrospective study was carried out to evaluate short- and intermediate-term outcome. Mean weight at operation was 2265 g (range 1750-2500 g). Mean age at operation was 24 days. The indications for surgery were transposition of the great arteries (TGA; 7), ventricular septal defect (VSD; 4), aortic stenosis (AS; 3), univentricular heart (UVH; 2), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF; 2), interrupted aortic arch (IAA; 2), atrial septal defect (ASD; 1), atrioventicular septal defect (AVSD; 1) and total abnormal pulmonary venous return (TAPVR; 1). All patients were in NYHA class IV; 17 patients (74%) were intubated pre-operatively.
