OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of valved systemic ventricle–
pulmonary artery (SV–PA) shunt on outcomes after stage-1 Norwood-type palliation (NP) …

BACKGROUND: Hybrid strategies for single ventricle palliation may differ from Norwood
strategies in terms of anatomic and physiologic growth stimuli to the pulmonary arteries (PA) …

BACKGROUND: A modification to the Norwood procedure involving a right ventricle-to-
pulmonary artery (RV-PA) shunt may improve early postoperative outcomes. Concerns …

OBJECTIVES With improvements in early survival after the stage I palliation (S1P) Norwood
procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and its variants, inter-stage death …

Background Stage 1 palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome entails use of the Norwood
operation with a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether the type of shunt used at stage one palliation
(S1P) affected the survival and the perioperative course through Fontan completion …

OBJECTIVES The Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is
performed either via a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RVPA) conduit or a modified …

Objective The study objective was to identify determinants of adverse outcomes in patients
undergoing univentricular palliation after the shunt procedure. Methods We performed a …

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

OBJECTIVES To evaluate longitudinal systemic ventricular function and atrioventricular
valve regurgitation in patients after the neonatal Norwood procedure. METHODS Serial …
