Abstract

in this review, i will first consider the general physiology induced by hypoplasià of the left ventricle, examining in particular its practical consequences in the fetus and the neonate. i will then explore the particularity of the physiology after the first stage of the norwood sequence of operations, comparing the two approaches of an aorta-pulmonary shunt versus a conduit placed from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries.
