Congenital Masterclass: Norwood Symposium | Recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting

This on-demand masterclass features leading congenital heart surgeons discussing the evolution of the Norwood procedure and contemporary management strategies for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Presentations examine key factors influencing progression to Fontan completion, the impact and treatment of tricuspid regurgitation, and outcomes associated with hybrid and traditional Stage I palliation. Gain valuable clinical perspectives and evidence-based insights into the challenges and advances shaping care for patients with HLHS.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • A Young Surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital
  • The Norwood Procedure: In the Beginning
  • From Stage I to Fontan Completion. Getting to the Finish Line
  • Tricuspid Regurgitation in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome - the Role of Annular Dilation and Efficacy of Current Annuloplasty Techniques
  • Multi-Center Comparison of Hybrid Stage 1 Palliation vs. Norwood Procedure in Patients Who Reached Fontan Completion
  • Impact of the Onset of Tricuspid Regurgitation on Outcomes in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Patients in The Current Era
