Fibrinogen substitution in infants was associated with younger age and higher RACHS-1 category. The prognostic value of TEG6s was evaluated, and cryoprecipitate transfusion was related to TEG-FF-MA values, but also CPB-time, surgical complexity, and in particular excessive intraoperative bleeding. A clear-cut threshold for TEG-FF-MA is difficult to establish in infants undertaken congenital heart surgery.
