Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome

TL;DR: Surgical strategies based on staged procedures are discussed, with the right ventricle supporting both systemic and pulmonary circulation, and other management options, such as neonatal transplantation and the recent innovation of hybrid techniques are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unifocalization of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is essential to achieve excellent outcomes irrespective of native pulmonary artery morphology.

TL;DR: By using a strategy of unifocalization, intrapericardial pulmonary artery reconstruction, and right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit, excellent long-term survival can be achieved in this group of patients even in the absence of native intraperiocardial pulmonary arteries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the Ross/Ross-Konno aortic root in children before and after the age of 18 months.

TL;DR: Ross/Ross-Konno can be invaluable in the younger age group but not without risk in the setting of ventricular dysfunction, and long-term performance of the neoaortic valve is significantly better than in older children, which is related to maintenance of normal root dimensions compared with progressive dilatation in patients undergoing Ross/ Ross-konno at older ages.
Journal ArticleDOI

How We Manage Patients With Major Aorta Pulmonary Collaterals

TL;DR: A carefully coordinated, combined approach between surgery and cardiology intervention is required throughout the treatment of patients with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, which is a marked improvement on the natural survival in this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Atrial Switch Component of the Double-Switch Procedure: Management of Venous Anomalies and Role of the Superior Cavopulmonary Connection

TL;DR: The double-switch procedure has brought about the renaissance of the atrial inversion procedures over recent years, with the Senning procedure being the most popular version.
