The study objective was to compare the results after Norwood procedure between modified
Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) and right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC) …

Background Conflicting data exist regarding the impact of ascending aorta size on outcomes
after the Norwood procedure. Results from multi-institutional studies have largely relied on …

Objective: The population of children who received right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt
(RV-PA) at Norwood procedure (NP) is growing, but limited data are available regarding the …

OBJECTIVES The right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV–PA) shunt in the Norwood
procedure (NP) for children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) provides stable …

OBJECTIVES The ideal shunt for pulmonary blood flow, modified Blalock–Taussig shunt
(MBTS) or right ventricular–pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC) is yet to be determined. This …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To describe our experience and to identify risk factors
for in-hospital mortality. METHODS: Between October 1991 and June 2005, 42 children …

The aim of this study was to evaluate experience and predictors of early mortality in patients
with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)–type defects undergoing Norwood procedure …

Objective: Moderate restrictive foramen ovale in neonates with hypoplastic left heart
syndrome (HLHS) is considered to be favourable, reducing pulmonary overcirculation …

BACKGROUND: The use of right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt (RV-PA) is thought to
improve postoperative hemodynamics in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Proximal …

Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the demographic, anatomic, institutional,
and surgical risk factors associated with outcomes after the Norwood operation. Methods: A …
