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

OBJECTIVE: The initial palliative procedure for patients born with hypoplastic left heart
syndrome and related single right ventricle anomalies, the Norwood procedure, remains …

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 …

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 …

Evolution of the Norwood procedure has culminated in there currently being three treatment
strategies available for initial management: the 'classical'Norwood (utilizing a Blalock …

A small number of nonrandomized and retrospective studies have compared outcomes of
classical Norwood procedures for hypoplasticleft-heart syndrome and single ventricle …

Background The Norwood procedure with a modified Blalock–Taussig (MBT) shunt, the first
palliative stage for single-ventricle lesions with systemic outflow obstruction, is associated …

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 …

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 …

Neonatal palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome re-quires relief of systemic outflow
obstruction, provision of unobstructed coronary blood flow, creation of a nonrestrictive atrial …
