Norwood procedure. Norwood procedure is most commonly performed to treat hypoplastic left heart syndrome, double outlet right ventricle, double inlet left ventricle, and other single ventricle congenital heart defects. [5] Variations are also used for palliation of mitral and tricuspid atresia [6] and subsets of transposition of great arteries ...
The final procedure, the Fontan procedure, completes the repair of the hypoplastic left heart. [33] Although there are several variations, the functional effect is to redirect venous blood from the lower body (through the inferior vena cava) away from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery.
