ET1 Concentration, Metabolic Pathway Activation, and Pulmonary Blood Flow in Infants Undergoing Superior Cavo-Pulmonary Anastomosis
This is a novel preliminary study of biomarkers of pathologic pre-operative pulmonary vascular development, elevated pre-operative Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Index (PVRi), and complications associated with decreased post-operative pulmonary blood flow in single ventricle patients undergoing superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis (SCPA). The study will utilize a combined targeted and untargeted approach to both optimize translation of a promising existing biomarker and efficiently identify novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in this population.
