• TITLE: Arch Reconstruction in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Handling the Diminutive Aorta

  AUTHORS: Francisco J. Boye, Frank A. Pigula

  KEYWORDS: Arch; Hypoplastic; Reconstruction; Norwood; Technique

  JOURNAL NAME: World Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, Vol.3 No.6, October 7, 2013

  ABSTRACT: The diminutive aorta presents technical challenges in the palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Furthermore, aortic arch caliber changes and variable great vessel relationships can add complexity to an already difficult arch repair. We describe a technical approach that simplifies the aortic reconstruction and makes the procedure more generalizable and reproducible.
