Fig 1 S-100 baseline values. p < 0.001 for healthy neonates (NB) versus all groups. (TGA = cyanotic neonates with d-transposition of the great arteries; DHCA = acyanotic neonates operated on in deep hypothermic cardiac arrest; ECC = acyanotic neonates operated on with extracorporeal circulation but without DHCA; CoA = neonates with aortic coarctation.)

Fig 2 Perioperative S-100 values. ∗p < 0.04; x, p < 0.001 for cyanotic neonates with d-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) versus all other groups. (DHCA = acyanotic neonates operated on in deep hypothermic cardiac arrest; ECC = acyanotic neonates operated on with extracorporeal circulation but without DHCA; CoA = neonates with aortic coarctation; Pre-op = preoperative; x-clamp = aortic cross-clamping; off-byp = off bypass; post-op = postoperative; 1. pod = first postoperative day; 3. pod = third postoperative day.)

Fig 3 Two neonates with acyanotic congenital heart disease operated on in deep hypothermic cardiac arrest (DHCA) with postoperative neurologic deficit compared with their group. Child A had correction of truncus arteriosus and generalized seizure postoperatively. Child B had correction of truncus arteriosus, evidence of cerebral damage in cranial ultrasound, and generalized seizure on the seventh postoperative day. (pre-op = preoperative; x-clamp = aortic cross-clamping; off-byp = off bypass; post-op = postoperative; 1. pod = first postoperative day; 3. pod = third postoperative day; 7. pod = seventh postoperative day.)

Fig 4 Two neonates after correction of d-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and neurologic deficit compared with their group. Child C showed severe electroencephalographic changes and had multiple cerebral seizures after the operation. Child D had preoperative and postoperative evidence of discrete cerebral damage. (pre-op = preoperative; x-clamp = aortic cross-clamping; off-byp = off bypass; post-op = postoperative; 1. pod = first postoperative day; 3. pod = third postoperative day.)
