Current outcomes and risk factors for the Norwood procedure [PDF]
Tremendous strides have been made in the outcomes for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other functional single-ventricle malformations over the past 25 years. This progress relates primarily to improvements in survival for patients undergoing the Norwood procedure. Previous reports on risk factors have been on smaller groups of patients or collected

Aortic arch reconstruction in Norwood procedure-size differences after hybrid or Norwood palliation. [PDF]
Aortic arch reconstruction in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) presents a surgical challenge and is associated with a re-intervention rate of 18% (1). Different surgical techniques have been advocated to improve results, but these are dependent on the initial geometry and size of the native aorta and probably also on the flow ...

Assessment of Growth 6 Years after the Norwood Procedure. [PDF]
At 6 years of age, patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome had mean age-adjusted z-scores for weight and height below the normative population, and body mass index was similar to the normative population. Males had the greatest increase in z-scores for body mass index.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00115934.
