Background In this study we report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain injury and 12-month neurodevelopmental outcomes when regional cerebral perfusion (RCP) is used for neonatal aortic arch reconstruction. Methods Fifty-seven neonates receiving RCP during aortic arch reconstruction were enrolled...
