Successful use of bivalirudin in neonates for postoperative aortopulmonary shunt thrombosis prevention
Bivalirudin is a safe and effective alternative to unfractionated heparin for immediate postoperative aortopulmonary shunt thrombosis prevention. Transition to low-molecular-weight heparin and aspirin resulted in effective and safe thrombosis prevention through the second-stage surgery. This regimen resulted in no bleeding complications in this cohort of 18 infants.
