Hypoplastic left heart syndrome and valvar pulmonary stenosis: presentation and management.
We describe the first report of an infant who was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and significant pulmonary stenosis. He was successfully palliated with multiple cardiac catheterization interventions while waiting for cardiac transplantation. This unusual constellation of heart defects is an entity that is rare and not well described in the literature.
