Abstract
Single ventricle physiology (SVP) encompasses the most complex cardiac lesions and, even following successful palliation, is associated with reduced life expectancy [ [1] Ntiloudi D. et al. Adult congenital heart disease: a paradigm of epidemiological change.". Int. J. Cardiol. 2016; 218: 269-274 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (41) Google Scholar ]. The majority of neonates with SVP will require staged palliative surgery leading to a definitive Fontan operation at around 3 years of age. The nature of this will depend on the underlying anatomy and physiology and also local protocols [ [1] Ntiloudi D. et al. Adult congenital heart disease: a paradigm of epidemiological change.". Int. J. Cardiol. 2016; 218: 269-274 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (41) Google Scholar ]. Outcome of the Glenn procedure as definitive palliation in single ventricle patientsInternational Journal of CardiologyVol. 303PreviewIn selected single ventricle patients, a Glenn procedure (SV-Glenn) may be considered as definitive palliation. Either the patient is unsuited to progress to a Fontan circulation or a SV-Glenn circulation is preferred. This study aimed at describing the clinical course, and long-term mortality/morbidity of SV-Glenn patients. Full-Text PDF
