The glial-derived protein S100B is a serum marker of cerebral ischemia and correlates with negative neurological outcome after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults. We sought to characterize the S100B release pattern before and after CPB in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease and correlate it with surgical mortality. Serum was collected before surgery and at 24 postoperative h from 109 neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. All patients had presurgical transthoracic echocardiograms and CPB with or without hypothermic circulatory arrest. S100B concentrations were determined using a two-site immunoluminometric assay (Sangtec 100). Thirty-day surgical mortality was observed. All neonates had significantly increased S100B concentrations before surgery that decreased by 24 postoperative h. Preoperative S100B concentrations in 32 neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome correlated inversely with the forward flow and size of the ascending aorta and postoperative mortality (r(2) = -0.63; P = 0.03). Among infants, increased pulmonary blood flow was associated with higher S100B levels before surgery than cyanosis. There was no correlation with postoperative S100B and time on CPB, hypothermic circulatory arrest, or 30-day surgical mortality. In conclusion, preoperative S100B concentrations correlate inversely with the size of the ascending aorta in hypoplastic left heart syndrome and may serve as a marker for preexisting brain injury and mortality. IMPLICATIONS: Neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and no forward flow in the ascending aorta may have brain injury at birth before heart surgery.
