Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals significant surgical challenges and a 33% periprocedural mortality in single ventricle patients, indicating the need for careful preoperative planning.

Key Points

Among 1,553 heart transplant patients, only 9 had single ventricle physiology and were at high risk for complications.
The study found a 33% perioperative mortality rate, primarily due to bleeding and hemodynamic instability.
Multiple prior surgeries, significant mediastinal adhesions, and the need for pulmonary artery reconstructions were common in these patients.
These findings support individualized surgical strategies for single ventricle patients needing heart transplantation.
