Thirty years and 1663 consecutive Norwood procedures: Has survival plateaued?
OBJECTIVE Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is one of the most common and challenging lesions requiring surgical intervention in the neonatal period. The Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome was first reported in 1983.

An 11-year single-center experience of Norwood procedures in the neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and variants. [PDF]
Background: Despite improvement in the outcome of the Norwood procedure, the prognosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) remains problematic. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pre- and perioperative factors and catheterization ...

The Agreement Between Pulse Oximetry and Measured Arterial Oxygen Saturations in Postoperative Functionally Univentricular Patients. [PDF]
Background: Pulse oximetry is widely used to estimate arterial oxygen saturation, yet accuracy may vary for a number of reasons. Data on children with functionally univentricular circulation are limited.

An updated systematic review of the impact of volume of surgery and specialization in Norwood procedure. [PDF]
Background Volume-outcome relationship proposed to exist for high-risk, low-volume procedures, such as the Norwood procedure. A systematic review published in 2014 examined impacts of hospital and surgeon volume, specialization, regionalization and ...
