[Surgical treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome: a successful case report].

A successful case of Norwood operation for a 5-day-old infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome is reported. Norwood procedure and central shunting with a 4 mm PTFE tube was performed. Cerebral and coronary artery were perfused independently during reconstruction of aorta in order to shorten the time of circulatory arrest. Post operative UCG documented un-obstructive systemic output from the right ventricle, well regulated pulmonary arterial blood flow and widely patent interatrial communication. This baby was discharged the hospital 66 days after surgery. He has been clinically well for six month after the operation.
