Abstract

Hypoplastic left ventricle with scimitar syndrome is a rare combination of anatomic lesions. Five patients with this anatomy have been followed up at our institution. Four of these patients are alive: 2 after heart transplant, 1 underwent a Norwood operation, and 1 has survived staged palliation, culminating in a Fontan operation.
