Article Synopsis
- Hybrid palliation (HP) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is becoming more common, prompting a comparison of its outcomes to Norwood palliation (NP) in terms of mortality and morbidity.*
-
- A systematic review analyzed data from 21 studies involving 1182 HLHS patients, finding that HP patients experienced higher interstage and 1-year mortality, although 3- and 5-year mortality rates were similar to NP patients.*
-
- Results indicated that HP was linked to increased morbidity, such as fewer completed palliation stages and more unexpected interventions, while also leading to longer hospital stays after initial procedures compared to NP patients.*
