Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a condition characterized by severe underdevelopment of left-sided cardiac structures. With advancements in medical technologies and surgical techniques, a staged surgical approach has greatly improved the prognosis for patients, making survival into adulthood possible.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a constellation of malformations which result from the severe underdevelopment of any left-sided cardiac structures. Once considered to be universally fatal, the prognosis for this condition has tremendously improved over the past four decades since the work of William Norwood in the early 1980s. Today, a staged surgical approach is applied for palliating this distinctive cohort of patients, in which they undergo three operative procedures in the first 10 years of their life. Advancements in medical technologies, surgical techniques, and our growing experience in the management of HLHS have made survival into adulthood a possibility. Through this review, we present the different phases of the staged approach with primary focus on stage 1-its modifications, current technique, alternatives, and latest outcomes.
