Impact of home monitoring program on interstage mortality after the Norwood procedure [PDF]
ObjectiveWhile early outcome after the Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome has improved, interstage mortality until bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) remains a concern.

RBC Transfusion Induced ST Segment Variability Following the Norwood Procedure [PDF]
Objectives:. The transfusion of stored RBCs decreases nitric oxide bioavailability, which may have an adverse effect on vascular function. We assessed the effects of RBC transfusion on coronary vascular function by evaluating the relationship between ...

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Outcomes Following the Norwood Procedure: An Analysis of the Pediatric Heart Network Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial Public Data Set [PDF]
BackgroundChildren with single ventricle heart disease require frequent interventions and follow‐up. Low socioeconomic status (SES) may limit access to high‐quality care and place these children at risk for poor long‐term outcomes.

Risk factors for mortality in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome after the Norwood procedure. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Several studies have reported mortality risk factors associated with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). However, these data are ambiguous and mainly focused on the independent effects of these factors. We examined both the independent and

The acute influence of vasopressin on hemodynamic status and tissue oxygenation following the Norwood procedureCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objectives: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is used to treat hypotension. Because AVP increases blood pressure by increasing systemic vascular resistance, it may have an adverse effect on tissue oxygenation following the Norwood procedure.

Acute effects of vasoactive medications in patients with parallel circulation awaiting hybrid or Norwood procedure [PDF]
Background : Vasoactive medications are frequently used in the preoperative stage to balance the pulmonary and systemic blood flow. However, not much is known about the effects of these agents during this stage. Aims : The primary objective of this study
