Abstract
These first magnetic resonance imaging data show that HLHS patients after LPA patch enlargement during the modified Norwood procedure have significantly higher LPA cross-sectional areas and show improved lung perfusion and shorter overall procedure time as compared with LPA patching during second stage (hemi-Fontan). Therefore, this promising surgical technique may improve blood flow dynamics of the Fontan circulation in the long run.
