BACKGROUND: Regional low-flow perfusion has been shown to provide cerebral circulatory support during neonatal aortic arch operations. However, its ability to provide somatic circulatory support remains unknown. METHODS: Fifteen neonates undergoing arch reconstruction with regional perfusion were studied. Three techniques were used to assess somatic perfusion: abdominal aortic blood pressure, quadriceps blood flow (near-infrared spectroscopy), and gastric tonometry. RESULTS: Twelve patients required operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and 3 required arch reconstruction with a biventricular repair. There was one death (7%). Abdominal aortic blood pressure was higher (12+/-3 mm Hg versus 0+/-0 mm Hg), and quadriceps blood volumes (5+/-24 versus -17+/-26) and oxygen saturations (57+/-25 versus 33+/-12) were greater during regional perfusion than during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (p < 0.05). During rewarming, the arterial-gastric mucosal carbon dioxide tension difference was lower after circulatory arrest than after regional perfusion (-3.3+/-0.3 mm Hg versus 7.8+/-7.6 mm Hg, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Regional low-flow perfusion provides somatic circulatory support during neonatal arch surgical procedures. Support of the subdiaphragmatic viscera should improve the ability of neonates to survive the postoperative period.
