title: Two Cases of Ventriculocoronary Connection From the Left Ventricle in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
abstract: Advanced surgical technique and comprehensive postoperative management have improved remarkably early and late outcomes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. However, recent reports have focused on the poor outcome in a series of cases with mitral stenosis and aortic atresia subtype, and ventriculocoronary connections. We consider treatment strategies by reviewing 2 cases of ventriculocoronary connection, both of which had poor outcomes.
