Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is characterized by left ventricular and ascending aorta hypoplasia. The treatment of this condition usually involves three surgical stages beginning with the Norwood Stage I operation and culminating in the Fontan–Kreutzer procedure with an intermediate cavopulmonary shunt. We will illustrate our current surgical approach for the Norwood Stage I reconstructive procedure.
