Controversy exists concerning outcomes of patients with different morphologic subtypes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing the Norwood procedure, in particular, aortic atresia-mitral stenosis (AA-MS) patients receiving a systemic-pulmonary modified Blalock-Taussig (mBT) shunt. We sought to determine the influence of known risk factors and morphology on early survival in our cohort of Sano-Norwood patients with right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduits as the source of pulmonary blood flow.
