No added benefit with new heart procedure
Surgeons at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have found that, at least in their experience, children who get the RV-PA conduit don't fair any better than those who receive the BT shunt.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
This is my Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome blog. Its just a general collection of links that I've come across which address many different aspects of HLHS and other forms of congenital heart disease. I initially decided to start this blog so that I'd have access to these links, some of them being very hard to find, from any computer. Also so that I could share the links with other parents and caregivers who might be interested.
