    Abstract:
    Since the first successful palliation was performed by Norwood et al. in 1983, there have been substantial changes in diagnosis, management, and outcomes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Survival for stage 1 palliation has increased to 90% in many centres, with patients potentially surviving into adulthood. However, the associated morbidity and mortality remain substantial. Although the principles of staged surgical palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome are well established, there is significant variability in surgical procedure and management between centres, and several controversial aspects remain unresolved. In this review, we summarize the current surgical and management options for newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and their outcomes.
