OBJECTIVE:: Perioperative mortality, prolonged postoperative recovery after the Norwood
procedure, and mortality between stage I and stage II might be related to shunt physiology. A …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare hemodynamic status, in particular
systemic oxygen delivery, in patients undergoing a Norwood procedure with a right ventricle …

BACKGROUND: To determine and compare outcome of the modified Norwood procedure
using either a systemic to pulmonary artery (SPA) shunt or right ventricle to pulmonary artery …

The initial Norwood procedure remains the highest risk operation for the staged repair of
univentricular congenital malformations with associated systemic outflow obstruction. The …

The Norwood procedure remains one of the highest-risk operations in congenital heart
surgery. A significant contributor to this risk is thought to be the diastolic run-off into the …

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

BACKGROUND: Midterm and long-term results of patients who underwent a Norwood
procedure with a right ventricular–pulmonary artery conduit remain unclear. This study …

OBJECTIVES With improved short-term outcomes the right ventricular to pulmonary artery
shunt (Sano) has become the preferred pulmonary blood source in the Norwood procedure …

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

Introduction: A recent modification to the Norwood procedure involving a shunt placed
directly from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries may improve postoperative …
