Norwood-I in a hypoplastic left heart variant and right aortic arch

Abstract

Even though preoperative diagnostics have improved significantly, intraoperative surprises may still occur especially in the case of complex congenital heart disease. An instance of such a complex congenital heart disease is a hypoplastic left heart syndrome with a right-sided aortic arch. In this case report, we present 1 patient with such a complex and unexpected anatomy, as well as a possible way to overcome the obstacles.
