This article is a review of the highlights of pertinent literature published during
the 12 months of 2020 that are of interest to the congenital cardiac anesthesiologist.
After a search of the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed database, several topics
emerged for which significant contributions were made in 2020. The authors of the
present article considered the following topics noteworthy to be included in this
review: pediatric cardiac care in the coronavirus disease 2019 era, the use of mechanical
circulatory support in coronavirus disease 2019–related multisystem inflammatory syndrome
in children, transfusion and coagulation management in children undergoing congenital
heart surgery, and pulmonary vein stenosis.
