Isolated left ventricular ischemia after the Norwood procedure

Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 Feb;73(2):657-9. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(01)03112-5.

Abstract

Aortic atresia is the most severe variant of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and has been associated with significant mortality after stage I palliation. Coronary artery abnormalities are more prominent in this group of patients, especially in the presence of a patent mitral valve. Herein, we describe a case of isolated left ventricular ischemia after the Norwood procedure in a neonate with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, left ventricular hypertrophy, mitral stenosis, aortic atresia, and anomalous left coronary artery.
