Abstract
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is almost always fatal in neonates unless it is palliated surgically. The conventional Norwood procedure with a Blalock-Taussig shunt or a Sano modification and a hybrid approach with branch pulmonary artery banding and ductal stenting are common surgical options. An alternate technique with a different strategy to restore pulmonary blood flow is described in this report.
