title: Atrioventricular septal defects with severe left ventricular hypoplasia. Staged palliation.
abstract: The natural and surgical history of patients with atrioventricular septal defect, severe left ventricular hypoplasia and right ventricular dominance is poor. We report a successful case of staged surgical palliation based on regulation of the pulmonary blood flow and creation of an unobstructed systemic outlet.
