| pubmed-article:7533504 | pubmed:abstractText | Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is the most common lethal cardiac defect in neonates. Options for treatment include cardiac transplantation and surgical palliation. When cardiac transplantation is chosen as the preferred option, a considerable delay may occur until a suitable donor is available. During this time, anesthetic care may be required for various surgical procedures. Associated anomalies seen in these infants and the anesthetic implications imposed by the abnormal cardiac anatomy are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
