title: [Univentricular hearts: long-term follow-up, complications and criteria for reintervention].
abstract: Univentricular hearts are complex and heterogeneous congenital heart defects. Treatment is surgical and comprises several palliative operations to permit long term survival in these patients. Late complications are frequent and need intensive treatments. This review article focuses on the main surgical interventions, complications, follow-up and reintervention criteria in patients with univentricular hearts.
