Abstract
An individualized approach to this complex lesion has good results. If the right ventricle can be safely decompressed and appears usable, the need for a shunt after valvuloplasty does not preclude two-ventricle (or 1.5-ventricle) repair. Anatomy mandating a shunt as initial palliation has substantial early mortality.
