[Postoparative Management of the Norwood Procedure].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2023
The Norwood procedure still has a high mortality rate of about 15%, and the surgery and its postoperative management require the meticulous care. Of particular importance is maintaining an appropriate balance between systemic and pulmonary blood flow in the face of ever-changing circulatory conditions, for which various parameters must be understood ...

The norwood procedure – does the type of shunt determine outcome?

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2007
Stage I palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and its variants is usually performed by a Norwood operation. The management of pulmonary blood flow during this procedure remains controversial. The RV-to-PA conduit (RVPAC) has been proposed as the better alternative compared to a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt (SPS).A retrospective single ...

Modified Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
Since June 1994, we have used a modification of the Norwood technique in 13 patients presenting with the hypoplastic left heart syndrome or similar variants.This technique involves coarctation repair, arch reconstruction, and creation of a neo-ascending aorta using autologous great vessel tissue only. Pulmonary blood flow is provided by a central shunt

The Norwood Procedure: In favor of the RV-PA Conduit

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2013
Evolution of the Norwood procedure has culminated in there currently being three treatment strategies available for initial management: the 'classical' Norwood (utilizing a Blalock-Taussig shunt), the Norwood with right-ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit, and the 'hybrid' Norwood procedure utilizing bilateral pulmonary artery banding and ...

The Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Cardiology in the Young, 2004
Evolution of staged surgical managementAmong the earliest reported attempts at palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome were those described by Cayler et al. in 1970,1and Freedom et al. in 1977.2Each case involved separate banding of the right and left pulmonary arteries, together with the construction of a direct aortopulmonary shunt.

Stage I Modified Norwood Procedure

2018
Two approaches can be taken in the Stage I modified Norwood procedure: (1) For an extremely hyperplastic ascending aorta, its diameter is only 2–3 mm, that is, much smaller than the aortic sinus. The classic Norwood ascending aorta formation method is likely to cause sinotubular junction stenosis, resulting in poor coronary artery perfusion.
