- Abstract
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a rare but severe cardiac malformation that will result in neonatal death if untreated. Treatment options consist after stabilization of the newborn of compassionate care, classical Norwood operation, hybrid therapy or cardiac transplantation. Long-termmanagement in univentricular palliation is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Neurodevelopmental outcome, exercise capacity and life expectancy are impaired.
