What is the general things done during surgery for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Author: Lapras Fan



Answer:

First week of life, aorta is reconstructed and eventually overgrows it Basically after 4-6 months, the SVC is disconnected from the heart and connected directly to the pulmonary artery and the original stunt is removed And then after 18-36 months, the IVC is disconnected and then connected directly to pulmonary artery so basically the body bypasses the heart for oxygenation
