In infants with aortic arch hypoplasia and small left-sided cardiac structures, successful
biventricular repair is dependent on the adequacy of the left-sided structures. Defining …

Objective: Although the influence of small left heart structures on outcome of a biventricular
repair in neonatal critical aortic stenosis is well documented, little is known about its effect in …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to validate and re-evaluate our previously
reported scoring systems for predicting optimal management in neonates with aortic …

Background—Decisions regarding surgical strategy in patients with multiple left heart
obstructive or hypoplastic lesions often must be made in the newborn period and are seldom …

Background. Results of aortic arch reconstruction in the setting of biventricular physiology
are well documented in the adult population, however, in children, surgical outcome of this …

Background: The term “borderline left ventricle” describes a small left heart that may be
inadequate to provide systemic cardiac output and implies the potential need for a single …

Neonates born with borderline left heart hypoplasia, or hypoplastic left heart complex, can
undergo biventricular repair while those with severe left heart hypoplasia require single …

Objective It is unclear whether neonates with interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and a smaller left
ventricular outflow tract may have improved outcomes with a Yasui operation (ventricular …

This study investigated the outcome after neonatal arch repair, and the usefulness of
computed tomography (CT) in predicting the development of left ventricular outflow tract …

Background Leaving an inter-atrial communication (IAC) open for left atrial decompression
is often recommended in neonates with aortic arch obstruction undergoing primary repair. In …
