BACKGROUND: The Norwood-Sano procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
has been associated with improved postoperative hemodynamics and outcome. This study …

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

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to describe the experience with staged
surgical reconstruction of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) with a right ventricle to …

Background—Diastolic run off into the pulmonary circulation and labile coronary perfusion
are thought to contribute to morbidity and mortality after the Norwood procedure (NP). We …

BACKGROUND: A recent modification to the Norwood procedure involves the use of a right-
ventricle (RV) to pulmonary artery (PA) conduit to provide pulmonary blood flow for patients …

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: 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 …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess changes in early and late haemodynamic
status after the Norwood procedure (NP), caused by the implementation of right ventricle-to …

Objective: Despite that surgical outcomes of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome
have improved, one of the problems remaining is the high interstage mortality after a stage I …

Background—The balance of systemic, pulmonary, and coronary blood flow after the
Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is critical to early survival. We …
