Values are median (interquartile range).
↵3-150 p < 0.05 patients v controls. There were no significant differences between TCPC and BDG.
ANF, atrial natriuretic factor; AVP, arginine vasopressin; BDG, bidirectional Glenn anastomosis; BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; TCPC, total cavopulmonary connection.
