Background. In the Norwood procedure, a conduit is performed either from the subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery, Blalock–Taussig shunt (mBTs), or from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery (RV-PA shunt). There are some concerns regarding the

Laryngopharyngeal dysfunction after the Norwood procedure [PDF]
We sought to evaluate the incidence and significance of recurrent laryngeal nerve and swallowing dysfunction after a Norwood procedure compared with that after biventricular aortic arch reconstruction.From April 2003 through December 2004, 36 neonates underwent a Norwood procedure; 33 of 36 had postoperative fiberoptic laryngoscopy and modified barium ...

Improving surgical outcome following the Norwood procedure [PDF]
The Norwood procedure consists of three palliative operations, performed in neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Especially the first stage (Norwood I) is associated with the highest mortality rates in paediatric cardiac surgery (up to 25%). During surgery, the aorta is reconstructed and a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt is applied.

Biventricular repair after the hybrid Norwood procedure [PDF]
Abstract OBJECTIVES We analysed the outcomes of patients undergoing biventricular repair (BVR) after an initial hybrid Norwood approach as a salvage procedure in extremely sick infants; or as the initial palliation in patients with uncertain feasibility of single-stage BVR due to ...
