Abstract:Evaluation the predictive value of perioperative Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide level in arterial switch operation. Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide level was measured before and and 24 hours after surgery in 29 patients with arterial switch operation. We evaluated 29 patients (22 male,76%,7 female 24%) with mean age 67.93±84.09 days (range 6 days to 14months).The mean of BNP level before surgery was 7989.96±9691.94 and increased after surgery to 22391.35±11898.67 and difference between two groups was sign… Show more
