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 in many centres.

Besides, neither comprehensive preoperative risk analysis nor outcome beyond ...

BACKGROUND The first stage of surgical palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), the NO, includes augmentation of the aortic arch with homograft. Growth characteristics of the reconstructed aortic arch, which is comprised of both native aortic tissue and homograft, ha...
متن کاملOutcomes after the Norwood operation in neonates with critical aortic stenosis or aortic valve atresia.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to determine the demographic, anatomic, institutional, and surgical risk factors associated with outcomes after the Norwood operation. METHODS A total of 710 of 985 neonates with critical aortic stenosis or atresia enrolled in a prospective 29-institution study between 1994 and 2000 underwent the Norwood operation. Admission echocardiograms were independent...
متن کاملPrevention of early sudden circulatory collapse after the Norwood operation.
BACKGROUND After modifications in our perioperative management protocol, we have observed a decrease in sudden circulatory collapse after the Norwood operation. The current study examines early outcomes after the Norwood operation in our unit in an attempt to identify variables that may have altered the risk of unexpected circulatory collapse. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 105 consecutive ne...
متن کاملMidterm echocardiographic follow-up after Ross operation.
BACKGROUND The pulmonary autograft (Ross) operation is an attractive treatment for aortic valve disease, but hemodynamic follow-up is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred thirty-two consecutive patients (62% male, mean age 40+/-11 years) were followed up to 5 years after the Ross operation. Echocardiography was performed early (within 30 days), 3 to 6 months, and yearly after sur...
