Abstract
Survival for hypoplastic left heart syndrome patients following the Norwood procedure is 71-90%. Mortality in patients with Turner's syndrome and hypoplastic left heart syndrome after conventional palliation (Norwood operation) has been reported as high as 80%. This questions the approach of traditional staged palliation. Here, we report a patient with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and Turner's syndrome bridged to orthotopic heart transplantation following a hybrid procedure.Entities:
