Perfusion. 2021 Jul;36(5):532-534. doi: 10.1177/0267659120954382. Epub 2020 Aug 30.

Abstract

We present the case of a newborn with complex congenital heart disease who was treated with a neonatal Norwood operation and total anomalous pulmonary venous return repair. During the Norwood reconstruction, a novel technique was utilized to perfuse the head, lower body, and heart continuously to minimize ischemic injury.

Keywords: Norwood; TAPVR; all-region perfusion; ischemia.
