Weight-stratified analysis of the heterogeneous effects of miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass on perioperative outcomes in children with congenital heart disease: A retrospective cohort study.

Miniaturized CPB circuits reduce intraoperative transfusion, but are associated with higher postoperative ICU transfusion and variable effects on chest tube drainage that are weight-dependent, although the net benefit appears weight-dependent.
