Abstract

Objective: Infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery are one of the highest-risk groups for thrombosis and its sequelae. We sought to define the current rate of and risk factors for postoperative central venous catheter (CVC)-associated deep vein thrombosis (CA-DVT) using the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC 4 ) dataset. Design: Retrospective review of PC 4 database from February 2019 to February 2022. Patients: Children
