Mid-term outcomes of classical hypoplastic left heart syndrome after Fontan procedure
The overall survival rate of patients with classical hypoplastic left heart syndrome after Fontan procedure was comparable to that of patients with other univentricular syndromes, showing good haemodynamics and lower mid-term comorbidities. However, lower pulmonary artery index, reduced freedom from reintervention and progressive decline in exercise tolerance are remaining concerns.
