Key result
A subset of patients with hypoplastic left heart complex, lacking intrinsic aortic or mitral valvar stenosis, may be candidates for biventricular repair.
Why the study?
How can patients with hypoplastic left heart complex who are candidates for biventricular repair be recognized and treated?

Supports refined selection for biventricular repair in select hypoplastic left heart complex cases; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Morell et al. (2004) conducted a review in Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Biventricular repair was evaluated. A subset of patients with hypoplastic left heart complex, lacking intrinsic aortic or mitral valvar stenosis, may be candidates for biventricular repair.
