Survival in neonatal biventricular repair of left-sided cardiac obstructive lesions associated with hypoplastic left ventricle

Patients with left ventricular hypoplasia and left-sided heart obstructive lesions other than critical aortic stenosis may be inappropriately Subjected to single ventricular repair because their assessment is based on faulty qualitative evaluations or on quantitative methods developed for critical aortic stenosis. Patients with left ventricular hypoplasia and left-sided heart obstructions other than critical aortic stenosis successfully underwent biventricular repair despite "failing" to pass established criteria for critical aortic stenosis.
