Abstract

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart disease that affects the normal blood flow through the heart and it characterized by a critical underdevelopment of the left heart. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is 1.43.8% among all congenital heart defects and 16% among critical congenital heart disease. Mortality in large cardiac surgery centers currently does not exceed 15%. However, mortality among patients with low body mass is up to 51% after the first stage of palliative surgery. In our clinical case, we describe hemodynamic surgery in neonatal with left-heart hypoplasia syndrome and low body weight (Norwood procedure with Sano shunt), postoperative case management inter-stage period and bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis procedure (second stage of hemodynamic correction).
