A new patch for the Norwood procedure

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
The problems related to the pediatric pulmonary homograft availability and the possible transmission of viral infection led us to design a new patch for aortic enlargement in the Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This sterile bovine pericardial patch is not expensive and can be tailor-made.

Norwood procedure without circulatory arrest

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
In the Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart yndrome, the distal descending thoracic aorta was cannulated just superior to the diaphragm through median sternotomy. In combination with cerebral perfusion through the graft anastomosed to the innominate artery, which was used as a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt later, this technique enabled us to ...

Postoperative Management After the Norwood Procedure

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 1998
Staged reconstruction has become the preferred approach to hypoplastic left heart syndrome at many centers in the United States. The overall results of this strategy are most adversely affected by a high mortality at the initial stage, the Norwood procedure.

Pulmonary artery banding before Norwood procedure

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003
Described here is the use of bilateral pulmonary artery banding as a means to achieve effective restoration of adequate systemic blood flow before a Norwood procedure in two newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who presented after birth with a severe imbalance of Qp/Qs and multiorgan system dysfunction despite usual pharmacologic and ...

Comprehensive Aristotle Score: Implications for the Norwood Procedure

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Aristotle score is emerging as a reliable tool to measure surgical performance. We estimated the comprehensive Aristotle score for the Norwood procedure, correlated it with survival, and considered its impact on surgical management of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.Comprehensive Aristotle score was retrospectively calculated for 39 consecutive Norwood

Norwood Procedures and Sano Modification

2013
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is characterized by hypoplasia of the left heart and varying degrees of hypoplasia or atresia of the aortic valve and ascending aorta. It is included in the spectrum of conditions that can result in a cardiac circulation with a functionally single ventricle. Left untreated, HLHS is invariably lethal.

Norwood procedure to hypoplastic left heart syndrome

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1998
Since March 1992, 25 neonates and small infants with HLHS have undergone a modified Norwood procedure. The mean age and weight at operation were 17 days (2 days-2 months) and 2.7 kg (1.6-3.3 kg). Isolated cerebral and/or myocardial perfusion (ICMP) with direct anastomosis of aorta and pulmonary artery was utilized since January 1995 to 16 patients ...

Stage I Norwood Procedure

2018
For infants with HLHS, pulmonary vascular resistance is high, often due to the presence of severe pulmonary hypertension; therefore, Fontan surgery should not be performed immediately, but in stages. At present, three stages of the staged surgery are advisable: Stage I Norwood surgery (neonatal), Stage II Norwood surgery (6 months after Stage I surgery)
