COVID-19 and ECMO support after neonatal congenital heart surgery: a case report
Keyword(s):
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes respiratory and systemic disease and has led to a sudden epidemic affecting people of all ages. Patients with congenital heart disease represent a high-risk population. In this article, we present a newborn who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for acute respiratory failure in the early postoperative period due to exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after aortic arch repair and ventricular septal defect closure. To the best of our knowledge, this patient represents the first neonatal case of SARS-CoV-2 infection after congenital heart surgery and is the youngest patient to need ECMO support.
