Abstract
Despite early advantages, RVPAS and mBTS for palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome produced comparable long-term survival. The RVPAS patients experienced more pulmonary artery stenosis and requirement for shunt re-intervention. The impact of shunt type on quality and survival with a Fontan is yet to be assessed.
