Abstract :
In conclusion, in selected infants, stage 1 palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome can be performed at an older age without adversely affecting outcome. This includes patients who previously were awaiting cardiac transplantation. Strategies at improving hemodynamic instability preoperatively, such as manipulating inspired gases and measuring mixed venous oxygen saturations to optimize solQpQs and oxygen delivery, should improve survival after stage 1 palliation even further.
