The Norwood procedure, the first surgical step of staged palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), is also applied for other complex single ventricle lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of the Norwood operation in a single center over 4 years and to identify clinical and anatomic risk factors for overall mortality.
