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 (r2 ! "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.

S100B has been established as a useful serum marker
of cerebral injury caused by minor and major head
trauma, global anoxia, focal ischemia, metastatic malignant melanoma, and cardiac surgery (57). All of
these conditions involve disruption of the blood-brain
barrier. Johnsson et al. (8) first reported the relationship of increased S100B and cerebral complications
after cardiac surgery in adults. These authors and
others subsequently determined that shed mediastinal
