The intensive care of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Until a little over two decades ago, hypoplastic left heart syndrome was considered an inoperable and fatal condition, with most deaths occurring in early infancy, and almost all of those affected dying before their first birthday. However, the advent of surgical palliation and advances in peri-operative care, have offered hope to these patients and their families.
