title: Staged Left Ventricular Recruitment and Biventricular Conversion in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
abstract: We describe a relatively long left ventricular recruitment pathway consisting of early and serial aortic valvuloplasties and multiple endocardial fibroelastosis resections resulting in successful biventricular conversion of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
