Abstract
The problems related to the pediatric pulmonary homograft availability and the possible transmission of viral infection led us to design a new patch for aortic enlargement in the Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This sterile bovine pericardial patch is not expensive and can be tailor-made.
