title: Norwood Stage 1 With Surgical Ventricular Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Repair for Neonatal Idiopathic Left Ventricular Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
abstract: A newborn girl presented with a prenatal diagnosis of dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy, mitral valve regurgitation, and ductal-dependent circulation. The left ventricle was severely dilated and hypokinetic. The patient underwent Norwood stage 1 single ventricle palliation with a Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis, atrioseptectomy, and a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. The left ventricle was managed with Batista surgical ventricular reconstruction, with resection of the dilated and thinned ventricular myocardium, along with periventricular Alfieri repair of the mitral valve. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery, followed by stage 2 bidirectional Glenn and tricuspid valvuloplasty at 2.75 months of age.
