Hepatitis C in Adults Who Underwent Congenital Heart Surgery Before Screening

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Congenital Heart Disease

In brief

This is a retrospective chart review. We hypothesize that patients who have undergone congenital heart surgery, prior to screening of blood products have a significant risk of hepatitis C infection and all such patients would benefit from screening for hepatitis C.
