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 …

OBJECTIVES: In the Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial, infants undergoing the Norwood
procedure were randomly allocated to undergo a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt or …

OBJECTIVE: We proposed that a right-sided right ventricle–pulmonary artery conduit during
the stage I Norwood procedure would facilitate pulmonary artery reconstruction during the …

BACKGROUND: A comprehensive assessment of 48 hour postoperative hemodynamics in
neonates randomized to the right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit or modified …

OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary artery stenosis is a potential complication after Norwood palliation
for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. It is unclear whether the shunt type or position in the …

Discussion Use of an RV-PA conduit as a source of the pulmonary flow instead of a PTFE
Blalock-Taussig shunt has been reported in the Norwood operation. 2, 4 Imoto and …

1983. 1 Today, there are several competing surgical strategies for stage I palliation,
including the right-ventricle-to-pulmonary-artery conduit (Sano) modification, the so-called …

Background. Survival after first-stage palliative Norwood operations for single ventricle with
systemic outflow obstruction is mainly dependent on a balanced ratio of pulmonary blood …

OBJECTIVE: The proposed physiologic advantage of the modified Norwood procedure
using a right ventricle–pulmonary artery conduit to supply pulmonary blood flow, compared …

OBJECTIVES: The Norwood procedure with right ventricle–pulmonary artery conduit is
thought to improve postoperative hemodynamics in hypoplastic left heart syndrome, but its …
