Impact of contrast exposure from computed tomography angiography on acute kidney injury after neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Routine exposure to CTA and CPB surgery in close succession does not appear to increase the risk of AKI after neonatal cardiac surgery. Though other risks need to be weighed (eg, sedation, intubation, radiation exposure), this result may enable more liberal utilization of CTA for preoperative surgical planning of congenital heart operations in patients with unclear or complex anatomy.
