Abstract

Patients with certain forms of congenital heart disease other than hypoplastic left heart syndrome require surgical management with single ventricle palliation. Anatomic considerations distinguish this group of patients from those with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The initial evaluation, considerations for staged palliation, and postoperative management are discussed.
